You're missing VAT off the £3000, plus there's a 150+VAt fee. CVL's total is £9576.

Fair enough, you got me.

I wish these sites would just have a personal or business price page (like nationwide). For most of us business doesn't apply. It could apply to me but I don't want the BIK.

Just to confuse things more, one is the "Escape" model and one is the "R"!!

By my reckoning when comparing both sites with the Escape, the difference is £30...but theres also the 5k miles v. 8k miles!!

So basically we are comparing apples, pears, oranges and lemons!!

Let hope you don't end up with a lemon......

You're not likely to wear any out over the course of 20k miles, so it's just punctures. Can't you get insurance to cover punctures?

I have never got 20k out of a set of rear tyres on any BMW I've had.

My last 520d needed an oil service and then two rear tyres. I am not a cheapskate so I paid to have two good quality tyres (same as the originals) fitted. This time round I have got a maintained deal.

You may just about get away without changing the rear tyres, however, in my experience you will spend the last two few months of your lease driving very carefully, with tyres just a smidge over the legal limit.

[Matt600]

Aren't the finance companies normally pretty stringent about only changing the tyres when they're at the limit? As you say, well worn, legal tyres can still be unsafe.

Came across a cheap Citroen C1 deal. 10,000mpa 1+17 £96 + £360 admin fee on Vehicles4Business, has anyone had any dealings with them before?

Hi there. If anyone may be interested in taking over my VW Alltrack lease then I would be willing to chat about it - send me a PM. Tungsten silver one which was a stock model so has 19" alloys and Active Suspension. Picked up on March 22nd and a 2yr lease. About £197 per month I think. 5K miles p.a. contract. Bit of uncertainty at work at present leading me to be pragmatic about current financial commitments!

[JetskiJezz]

Just had an email from a lease company that I ordered my last car from and thought I would share the information:

Golf R
6 need manual 5 door
business and personal lease
£213.20 per month plus VAT
9+23
8000 miles a year
looks like it is also available at 10,000 miles a year with the payments going up to £222.88

The company's Silverstone fleet management, it is showing on their website.

Really not quite sure how that stacks up to the deals that had been offered over the last couple of months, but I think it sounds pretty good and I know the golf R has been hugely popular on here, a friend of mine got one on the mega cheap deal 6 months ago and loves it.

I'd be interested. Can you take over leases?

No it is not possible.

Clause 4.1 - You must keep the vehicle in your possession and control ......

[Beefmeister]

There was a whole website dedicated to doing just this though. I've often wondered about it...

According to vwfs you can transfer leases. I'm happy to contact them to clarify this though, as that seems to be a sensible thing to do before moving on with this idea. Bear with me and I'll see what I can find out.

You can't just give the vehicle to someone else under the current contract, that much is true, but "you" refers to the contracted lessee. If you somehow re-draw the contract with the new lessee, then they become the contracted lessee. The question is more whether they will re-draw or transfer the contract, not whether someone else can drive the car.

Also, 150 manual I'm guessing?

Yep I got my Audi A4 through them. Decent enough bunch to deal with from my experience.

CHEAP! Honda Civic 1.6i DTEC with Nav, Climate, Cruise, Parking sensors.

https://www.nationalvehiclesolutions.co.uk/Honda-C...

I make it a grand total of £4132 for 2 years motoring.

Cheers for posting that one. Got to drive one yesterday, not bad at all for a 1.6 diesel, I like the styling and it's got loads of toys. Order is in now. Works out £188 per month all in for 8k (£1800 up front, £105pm, £240 admin all inc vat), looked at golf R and polo gti deals but didn't really stack up with what else I own and want to keep alongside it, civic works out much better in running costs and ability to fit a bike or two inside.

your current car sounds like the absolute cheapest motoring money can buy though? If I were you I'd want to keep it! What would you replace it with?

I'd be interested in being a reserve.

Your account doesn't allow PMs!

Feel free to PM me as I'm very interested.
