Is this the best deal on the cls shooting break?

Business or personal?

Business

I can do that payment without any doc fee, choice of Iridium or Palladium Silver and Obsidian Black in stock. Lovely looking cars, I'm thinking of ordering one next month after I've picked up my C250

Fiesta ST deal just posted here:

http://www.gateway2lease.com/z_ford_fiesta_1.6ecob...

Not in the same league as the 208 GTI deals but for a fiesta ST it's pretty good.

Works out at £5399 for the lease period.

The Black edition is cheap too. £1000 Ex + 23x£119.99 inc. The red edition is a bit less lairy looking though.

Anyone found any decent Tiguan deals? Best i've seen is 9+23 £173 10k miles.... cheers

Can I ask where you've seen that? I think that's good for 10K.

I've been looking at 5K and this is the cheapest total cost I;ve seen: http://www.centralukvehicleleasing.co.uk/vehicle/c...

Sorry it was 8k miles....

Probably obvious but beware of the £360 fee - it's 9+23 and a £360 fee so the average monthly cost £245/mth.

I've seen VW dealers at the same monthly but without the fee, which makes them £15/mth cheaper

I have GAP insurance to return the full market value so why I can't order another is beyond me...

Not sure where to start with financial ombudsmad...

Unless the GAP you've got covers all eventualities then sounds like you've got the wrong product. You needed one which would ensure your finance was settled, not one that would return to invoice.

Unless they'll pay you the difference (if there is one)?

How many times does it need to be said.

Post deals, not arguments about the pros and cons.

Sorry about that, should have been separate thread.
Surely best deal includes
Model, Arrangement fee, up front fee, monthly fee, pence per mile over, replacement if total loss (insurer willing)
We know all of those are variables

It's all the arguring about GAP etc thats annoying.

Of course, discuss deals, that IS what this thread is about, but insurance and who does only 5k in a year etc, needs to go else where.

Not yet, I had hoped to get it shortly and the first build date given was 27th July. Called yesterday to check progress of delivery to be told build date of ... 17th August.

I am assuming, that given it is France, there has been a strike of some sort....

I think some people should be getting them next week looking on another forum, I'm getting frustrated now as mines now not coming into the UK until W/C 14th Sept after ordering 2nd June!

16 weeks wait , hardly a long time for a new car.

I need the advice of veteran lease users.

Car was delivered 2nd October last year and will be due it's first service on or around 2nd October this year as it will meet the yearly schedule rather than the mileage. The second service will be due when the car goes back 2nd October next year. I'll take it to Rates Ford in Grays as they receive good feedback on the ST owners club.

I remember reading on here when people have been working out service costs to add to the total cost over two years that they only include one service on cars that I thought were due a yearly/mileage service. I can't find the post now to reference, but is this right? As I presume this is a grey area if you return the car with a service due/indicator light on. I've looked at the information sent to me and return documents and it mentions legal tyres at 1.6mm etc, what marks are and aren't acceptable.

I'd presumed the car would need to be serviced upon return, a week early presumably? I will ask the lease company nearer the time, but expect them to say yes either way as it will be in their interest.

Last update 13th July was that it was expected with dealership end of this week, not had any further update on that. I have emailed broker to request further update but no reply as of yet.

Return the car a week before the service is due.
I have done this quite a few times with various manufacturers and never had a problem.

make the 1st service 1-2 weeks late, therefore the 2nd service will not be due within the lease period.

If i was told September from the start it would have been fine, but when i ordered i was first told late June, then mid July, then mid Aug and now mid/late Sept.

It's not the end of the world however!

This is correct, you have a months grace to get the service done.

This is correct,with certain companies you have a months grace to get the service done.

or 1000 miles with certain companies too.
check your individual contract.
