i only stick around for the deals. The discussions are often... frustrating.

People trying to save a fiver, asking if there credit will be affected, what happens to their "Deposit" like dealing with children really.

I've a lease car, finishes in 2 months, I'll pick up the phone, make a decision and not waste mine or peoples time with stupid questions about what happens if i can't keep up the payments.

PH is going downhill.

I think people with less than 500 posts should need to complete an IQ test. That'll sort em.

I spoke with leaseplan go this morning my current Golf r 3dr manual with metallic and 19's is through them on a 3+23 @287inc. The lady I spoke to thought an S3 5dr manual would come in at £20 per month more.
Regarding the Leon vs Golf vs S3 debate...
The Golf r is a cracking car but is seems every low life scum bag out there is trying to Rob them. Just have a search through the forums. I personally have been burgled twice and a close neighbour had his front door kicked in at 6pm on a Saturday evening whilst he was at home by 3 x balaclava'd muskets demanding his keys. Purely for this reason I wouldn't have another!

I have completed paperwork in hand for the Leon, but also spoke to Leaseplan this morning (who I'm currently with) and they say there's a S3 deal due out today..........

I'm getting dangerously close to snoozing & losing

S3, Golf R or Leon. Is there really a bad one there? I think all 3 are fantastic cars.

I am currently signed up for £325 per month on a 3+23 for an S3 S Tronic + Metallic paint on 8k miles and no fees. Sounds more competitive than leaseplan based on those high level figures.

I could save £400 over the term going for the vehicle savers Golf R DSG but I prefer the interior of the S3 and quite fancy getting a new (facelift) model.

Yeah, that and all of these bloody people bleating and moaning for post after post instead of posting deals...

Mini deal sounds good, what's the excess mileage charge?

7p inc VAT, I'm going to do 15k/yr but paying the excess works out cheaper than the 10-15k contract.

How many miles is that?
I've just had a quote for them which works out at about £20 p/m more than that.

well i dunno about that but i guess i've you've loitered around this thread for a while then you tend to see the same questions coming up over and over, and not ones which are deal related. Not sure how you'd solve it though. There should just be a lease FAQ we could send people to perhaps. The most frustrating ones are the ones where someone is willing to do no work of their own, not even search the internet first... but then that's internet forums for you.

This is NOT aimed at anyone in particular, but the thing about the fiver-savers is that it not only wastes airtime on here, but also wastes a lot of brokers' time. The Golf R deals have just been going on for an insane amount of time now. If you've not just gone and got one by now then you never will; and if you never will then why post up this thread and pester all the brokers about it, match prices, finance props and so on. Ah no i just missed out!! Yea missed out with a mere 2.5 years notice, life's so unfair.

I've said it before but I tend to think the best way to approach all of this stuff is if you see a deal then go for it. If it's good enough to create a 'buzz' then it's good enough to sign up to. The point of leases are to minimise the endless hassle of car flipping, so why create yourself a new ecosystem of hassle that you don't need.... anyway.

Looks like it's for 6,000 miles.

LPG? Which broker is this?

[sparkymark75]

I've thought about leasing before but never really went anywhere with it. When I saw the deals on Friday for Golf R's I began to seriously consider it. But given it was late Friday there wasn't much I could do about it but research and ask questions. So sorry if I've annoyed anyone on here with a daft question.

I called a few VW dealers but none of them could match (or even get close to) the Vehicle Savers deal for the Golf R Hatchback so I've just gone for that.

The quoted mileage on the Vehiclesavers GOLF R deal was 6k with std vw excess. Andy was the guys name. It's all on the website.

JONNY996 - you're right, for a small fun car, none of them are bad at all.

Overall, it's a great deal, and a great car that i would normally jump at, but i fancy a change (and i can take my tuning box with me!!) so going for the Leon. Local dealer has matched the central price but no fee. Will miss the free trackday tyres and service though :-(

I can't see why a driver would pay a premium for the AUDI. I can see why a bird would :-)

For the other question about size of initial payment - i always go low. I don't do any of the (ridiculous ?) insurance policies, and unless I'm buying to keep, I prefer to put my spare cash elsewhere. With a big initial, there's always the risk of losing it if something happens early in your ownership, regardless of how you try and cover it.

Cheers lads, just secured a white Golf R Estate on a 6+23 at £215 inc. Spoke to Shona at Vindis (via email).

Deposit? The initial payment isn't refundable. Now I've never leased but I've yet to read anything that says the initial payment is anything other than that, an initial payment. You don't get any money back.

If I had my car 1 day and it was stolen or written off and I'd paid 2k upfront, I'd be trying to get something back from my gap insurance!

That's a bit harsh. Granted there have been some really stupid questions but I asked the deposit one because I simply don't know. I assumed I had to lay out £1,500 to secure the car and wait 12 weeks for delivery. I was plesantly surprised to be informed that it's not taken until the car is delivered. I've never had a lease before - I've never even considered it an option - how could I "know" before I ask? Going forward it will now be a part of my knowledge base that lease deposits are paid as the first payment. I don't understand how it makes me "stupid" because I don't know something before I ask about or reserach it.

Otherwise, I have spotted a good deal and I haven't f**cked around. Got all finance checks done over the weekend, spec confirmed this morning and now got a few hours sweat to see if I get allocated the car. I can appreciate that newbie questions are frustraiting to die heard leasers, but for people that have never taken the plunge before, a lease is quite a daunting committment with lots of "ifs", "buts" and "maybes". Crucially, it seems the penalties are harsh for getting it wrong and wanting/needing to bail mid-lease so it's quite natural to ask many questions, even the stupid ones.

[fataitch]

Apologies, but just received confirmation through for the vehiclesavers deal and I've been quoted a 3&35, not 3&23 as i thought.

It also looks like i may have to eat my words if that damn S3 comes in at £250 !!! Awaiting LPG confirmation email.......

[zayn]

Bad News : No option's can be added such as App Connect..
