VW Touareg
3.0 TDI V6 R Line 262 BHP Auto

Freedom Contracts: £299+VAT Fee (ha ha)
£2195+VAT initial rental plus 23x£243.99+VAT 5k m.p.a.

That's the cheapest I've ever seen these cars:

Navigation, Bluetooth, Privacy Glass, Fully Electric Tailgate, Voice Control System, Parking Sensors, DAB Digital Radio, Xenon Headlights, Panorama Electric Glass Sunroof, Rear Roof Spoiler, Leather Upholstery, 20" Alloys, Heated Front Seats

Nice spec too!!

That looks great, only thing I'd want on it is metallic paint. Wonder what the excess is...

9p plus VAT apparently

you could get the touareg for that price at a dealer check http://www.whatcar.com/car-leasing/

[andrewparker]

The 3.0 V6 R-Line is a £48k car that you can get for around £38k. I've seen 13-plate cars with 18000 miles at a dealers for around £32k.

Merc C Class Coupe (C250 AMG Prem Plus) I just spotted:

[andrewparker]

Absolutely, trade in won't be anywhere near £32k, but I still don't think the lease will save you a huge amount of money, perhaps £2k?

i think 2 grand is a decent saving and the convenience factor as well. btw i don't really think it is a great deal unless someone really really wants a touareg.. nicer cars to be had for that amount of money imo.

How many people are only doing 5k miles pr year though?

Quite a few. On my main car we only do 5k now. Nursery runs + holidays. Commute is train or plane. Car 2 is 3k.

I for one don't miss 25k a year of motorway miles in the UK.

I only do 7000, and with 9ppm (+VAT) excess that will cost an extra £18 a month. No one I work with does much more than 10k a year.

Can anyone recommend insurers who are ok with lease cars and good value? I have a multi car with admiral and as soon as I mentioned lease car they weren't interested.

Mine is through Allianz. To be honest I've never came across an insurer who have any problems with a leased car.

[foreverfalling]

I'm with admiral on a leased golf R. No problems.

[wibblebrain]

With some of the trivial mileages (circa 5k) some people are doing I don't really see the point of having a new car anyway. That's a huge amount of cost for a small amount of time in the car.

But then you start to sound like one of those people who feels the need to tell others how to spend their hard earned, and I'm sure you don't want to be that person.

Guys I'm after a Fiesta/something small&petrol (10k miles per year), I get access to this...

Are there better deals out there to be had with no deposit?

TIA.

Anything kicking around right now on the qashqai that's particularly good? We're getting quotes for pcp but leasing could be the answer.

Needs to be 10k mileage or a bit more. Preferably petrol. Wondered if anyone had seen anything recently before I go hunting, never done this before!

Ours is a 1.6 Dig-T Tekna (every option possible) 8k/year and £265/month for 2 years. From Gateway2lease.

I have access to the the same scheme and have just bought a new Fiesta for my soon to be 17 year old daughter. A bit extravagant maybe but the total discounts added up to nearly £5k on a car with a list price of £16k, and the Fiesta is a nice car, especially with the Ecoboost engine. It is one of the cases when buying is better than leading imo.

The comparison sites have a section where it asks for owner and reg keeper. Stick the leaseco in there and you have a list.
Aviva were ok with mine and they do multi car too
