Indeed. Rather like the company offering the deal.

Gets them publicity ie on here but no footballer will actually take it.

Well lease company are not deducting the 200 miles delivery from the contract and also seems the options have not been fitted to the car. not impressed at all.

.....because HUKD is populated by boneheads! This is another GREAT deal for an R. Not a long way off the cheap deals from April.

Like you, I'm not sure why footballers are the focus for a cheap AMG GT.

Maybe because there is more chance of the car getting publicity through them driving it rather than just you and I driving it.

Just googled Merc VIP, came up with their Twitter page

Never knew so many footballers cars were sponsered by Merc....

That is a good deal, considering that DSG is standard on the estate and with the upgraded MY2016 spec, it is better equipped with NAV, Heated seats, App connect. Better deal almost than my 64 plate Golf R

Random Welsh rugby players are counted as VIP? Merc must be desperate

I've said before - a lot of people can access those deals, you basically just have to be referred by someone who Merc regard as a VIP or be associated with a partner or company or organisation that Merc sponsor.

It's obvious from the cars offered - which premiership footballer is going to take a 1.6 CLA on a 4yr /10K mile deal?

At £17k all in, who else would think it's good value?

[m3sye]

None of the deals seem as good as that AMG one....

This Merc VIP thing explains all the shiny large engined Mercs down at my local gym (Vale in Cardiff) - home of the Blues and City.

Good price for an S7- https://www.contractcars.com/car-leasing/audi/s7-s...

I'm waiting for it to be £500 pm (averaged over the period) then I might go for one.

Can anyone shed any light on insurance for lease cars?

I get the registered owner of the vehicle is the finance company but there seems to be a lot of conflicting advice as to who is the registered keeper.

Some say I will be as I am keeping the car, others say the V5 goes to the finance company and they are the keeper.

Half the results on comparison sites don't appear if I put down the finance company as the owner and keeper.

Thanks,
Craig

I'd be interested to get clarification on this also.

Depends on the finance company. However, the majority of personal leases have the finance company as the registered owner and registered keeper. The contract that you sign should state this. If not, have a look at any information relating to parking tickets, speeding fines etc. - if it states that they'll forward the fine to you (usually with an admin fee), then that indicates that the finance company is the registered keeper.

In my experience, who the registered is has no bearing on insurance premiums/results.

[SPD14]

You will neither be the registered owner or the registered keeper on a lease car. You'd better contact the lease company to find out details of both as some insurance companies need specific info on them.

My new leased Smart Gateway said I was the keeper and Mercedes the owner.

When I called for my 7 day free insurance I asked was that correct she said yes.

Car delivered - piece of paper said Mercedes the keeper, so I called Mercedes Exeter where it came from, lady said they are both keeper and owner.

Called back insurance Smart insurance to say needs to be changed, they said no that's wrong I'm definitely the keeper of a leased car but will make a note, called back the dealer...another lady this time said I am the keeper and her colleague was wrong, keeper on their bit of paper means they own it!!

I am keeping it as me as the keeper as have the damn thing.

Answer seems to be nobody knows! I've done all I can to get it right.

There is no 'registered owner' - the only thing registered with the DVLA is the keeper. So the finance company is the registered keeper in pretty much every case. Straightforward, surely?
