C63 Deal from Freedom

I recommend also checking out or getting on the mailing list for Central car leasing as they offer some cracking deals! they were the ones offering the Q7 deal last week.

That C63 deal works out at £625 p/m including VAT (once the deposit is spread over the term), Which makes it the cheapest new C63 lease I've seen by about £50p/m

all the deals can be found on car leasing & contract hire...

a couple of weeks back i spoke to a dealer re: the evoque deals and they are real...a lot of people said the same when i got my sl350 for £260+VAT last year but if your prepared to move fast you can sometimes get amazing deals!

link to evoque deals

So actually £425pcm all in for 36 months Golf r 5 door DSG no nav no leather and only 10k miles. Not a great deal IMHO

some options for those in the leasing market

Range Rover Evoque's are cheap at the mo as a revised model is pending...you can get in an SD (4x4 one) for around £250 plus VAT

Audi Q3 Sline's are £200, THere was a special on Q7's last week for £330+VAT for 3.0 TDI Sline

Mercedes always have a model on special...i predict the CLS's will hit the £250 mark this quarter (in dec you were getting the estate versions for £230+VAT) They've pretty much sold there allocation of old C Class models but ive seen recently C63's for £370 +VAT and c250 AMG Sport Plus models for £197+VAT

Golf GTI's, GTD's and R's are still at bargain rates (I saw today an R DSG for £224+VAT)

thats all i can think of that jump out for now...

Provide some links to these offers please. I find them amazingly cheap. An Evoque for £250 plus VAT! I'd have one straight away.

I dont quite get your comment? I would assume most people who are looking at lease deals are familiar with the protocol i.e 3/6/9 month deposit with a mileage restriction?

Just the enormous discrepancy between your claims of £250 per month as though it's cheap, completely omitting any other detail to what actually turns into an expensive deal when you factor in the other bits

Expensive deal in relation to what? Another lease deal? Buying a car approved used with a loan?

I said what the deal was nothing more...people don't always lease privately (plus vat)some even claim fuel allowance so everyone situation is different so am puzzled why you think these are hidden costs???

Anyone who leases cars (looking at this thread I assume) would be fairly accustomed to the lease deals are structured. If not its easy to work out.

A wise man one said by things that appreciate and lease things that depreciate!

Heres an example for you a friend of mine leased an a6 sline for 179 plus vat on a 6/23 deal..the audi dealership were offering an approved used example I think a year of with 18k on the clock for 314 pm with 3k deposit down and a final balloon of 7.5k after 48months!!!

I think we just look at it differently Barrie . In fact I think you look at it differently to everyone on this thread. You see the monthly payment as the price and the rest of us see the price as the price, that's all

You'd pay that easy with a nice hefty deposit on the forecourt the trick with leasing is mot to tick the options list as you pay for these within your lease term.

I think your comment is a bit condescending and more reflective of your own personal opinion.... I like to think I'm fairly confident around both leasing and standard financing of cars I just prefer lease deals as it allows me to free up capital for other things typically of which appreciate in value ...I am also assuming that if people are reading a thread on leasing and looking at more than 35 pages of lease offers we could assume some things like front loaded deposits and whether the individual shall pay vat or not on the payments...

You still haven't explained why you think leasing or these offered were expensive? if we go like for like on models I don't see PCP or similar financing routes getting anywhere near leasing monthly costs without high (much higher that deposits on lease terms) deposits??

You need to know the monthly cost, how many months total, number of months up front and annual mileage to make meaningful comparisions.

To me stating the headline figure is like people saying how cheap their insurance is - but failing to mention they've got a £2500 excess.

[VX Foxy]

FWIW Barrie, I agree with BSR. You've just been taken in by the headline grabbing monthly.

There are some great lease deals to be had. The ones you posted are not.


Eta. You seem to think this is a lease v other method thread...you're wrong.

[Blown2CV]

Audi Q7, headline figure down in the low 300s IIRC on 5k PA. School run mum fodder.

[barrieeld]

I think you guys are missing the point the deals I listed were to highlight various models where lease companies are showing competitive rates on just now...it was a general point of note for other members to which if they are interested they can go and have a look and see if it is for them if not they pass and look around for other deals maybe for the same vehicle or something else which may suit their requirements better. With leasing everything is subjective and no one can provide the best deal for each individual...I'm not selling anyone anything just passing on information...if you guys can find cheaper deals then post them so we can have a look at them as I did...don't shoot the messenger

<end of rant jeez>

Post the great deals for others to see...for what its worth I don't think this is a lease v other thread...read my earlier comments please I was just giving a real world example with regards to a "terribly expensive lease offer"
