Best Lease Car Deals Available? (Vol II)

[Dog Star]

Last two Mercs I've leased ("personal operator lease" from MBFS) have both asked me if I wanted to buy the car at the end of the lease.

Also the B-I-L bought his 7 series at the end of the lease; he wasn't going to but they originally asked 23K, then 18K and eventually said 13K. He couldn't believe it.

There was also a PHer local to me who sold his ex-lease car on to another PHer; I went around and had a quick look at it for him before he committed to travelling a long way himself. It was silly cheap - like 11K or something for a 3 year old C class.

I get the impression that you can get a right bargain sometimes - especially if you got one of the cheap lease deals on this thread and then get the car for pretty well the auction value. What puts me off is that I lease diesels (had 2 SLKs and just had an E class delivered) and while I prefer the power delivery and the SLKs were mental economical I'm not sure I'd like to own one out of warranty; emmissions regs have made them into mobile chemistry sets (I notice that my new one has no spare wheel - there's an adblue tank there instead).

For a personal lease is doesn't make any difference, it's more for companies

In a true CH or PCH contract the car won't be available to the lessee due to the VAT treatment.

Have there ever been any good A7/S7 deals?

There were some. I ordered in January and took delivery of my A7 3.0TFSI Black Edition last Friday - very impressed so far

Deals available at the moment are more expensive than when I ordered though...

Niiiice. Lucky you. If you don't mind me asking, what sort of numbers are you paying?

All leases are calculated on the basis of what the car will be worth at the end of the term to the company.

Well, yes. But that's not a "Guaranteed Final Value". They bang them into auctions and hope they get more than the value they guessed at when the lease started.

If they gave you a GFV at the point when you took out the lease, then it probably wasn't a lease agreement.

Oh I agree, but to a private individual it doesn't make any difference.

Don't see it listed and at 8k it may not make a huge difference for most, but watch the excess mileage with Horizon as I think it's something like double the normal VWFS 7.2p

Sadly it does. Under a PCH contract the car can not be sold to the lessee which is the private individual.

Talking to them at the moment about this deal - excess mileage is 10p odd on the 3 door and 11p odd on the 5 door.

Just taken a look as after another R - it's the 3 door only by the looks of it price shoots up for the 5dr. Good deal if you can take a 3dr

Hi Guys,

Just got a new Job with a daily commute of 80 miles, does anyone know of a decent 20k P/A lease deals under £200? I have no idea what I want if i'm honest. Preferably 40+ mpg though!

Cheers Dan

G2L appears to be for the manual model. Other quotes are for the DSG.

Nope it's auto. The 1.2 is auto only
