Best lease car deals available?

Buying a car is exactly the same as buying a house:

• Buying with 100% your own cash (no debt) = full ownership;
• Buying with debt (loan) = partial ownership;
• Ballooning = renting to buy;
• Leasing = renting only.

In a nutshell -- broadly speaking -- the wealthier you are, the higher up that ladder you can rise.

.

I disagree.

I've worked with many a motor finance company including some niche companies. The majority of high performance / expensive cars are leased. Footballers etc all tend to lease. Why would you buy a £200k+ car and take that huge depreciation hit?

The rich are rich for a reason.

Thanks for the reply Simon.

One of the brokers did say he was particularly embarrassed by it!
Also mentioned something about BMW pulling what discount they had.

Can't quite believe I can lease an M5 for less, but it's just a bit too big unfortunately.

No problem, Zyp. Good luck with the deal
Cheers
Simon

You are taking the depreciation hit anyway....there's no free lunch with leasing.

There is on the C63

You're taking a far smaller hit as the leasing companies get a far bigger discount than a retail customer would paying cash/pcp/shirt buttons/magic beans

Hi Chaps, for obvious reasons i can't provide any links. CH & L may be of some help though....

As of last night, we were way cheaper but now there's a couple similar / cheaper. Although it depends on whether you want to pay a doc fee or not...

There seem to be quite a few decent deals on the Golf GTD at the moment - here's a 5dr 6+23 for £249.99 pcm

I'd love an S6 but there doesn't ever seem to be any good deals on high performance petrol Audis

There was a stonking deal on an S5 a while ago.

You can't get a lurcher, an 8mth old baby, a buggy and all the paraphernalia that goes with them, into an S5...

I currently drive a C7 A6 (my first foray into sensible family motoring), but given I get a car allowance with my new job I can 'upgrade' to a C7 that's a lot more spicier.

are they not meant to be a bit bobbins though? The previous generation was panned at least IIRC.

you're generally paying for the depreciation, there or thereabouts, in a lease over the term. If I had that kind of cash I'd have my name down on a pipeline of limited editions, pay cash, keep each till the next one's been through it's waiting list and then flog at a profit or at least same money. Play it well and you'll have some fantastic motors, change regularly and it won't cost you much at all... clearly you'd need to find that first wodge though.

Just did a contract hire deal on a 640d M sport Gran Coupe they'd added some extras (stock car) so came out at just shy of 80k list.

3+35 £666 inc VAT on 15k per year.

I think that's pretty good the support must be huge on these.

Don't drive it ever!

Found what looks to be a definite deal on a new M3 DCT - 6+35 10k miles..... £879 inc maintenance.
A few extras added to take the car to just shy of £60500 list.

Bit expensive?

I might have to get them to knock a quid off!

This is with a small deposit, a slightly higher mileage and a comedy amount of extras though.

Allow 10p per mile for the mileage, switch the deposit to 6 instead of 3, and take off the VAT and it's a headline figure of £474 + VAT.

Depending on what the extras are, that could be below £399 + VAT etc.

Indeed, looking at the low deposit the mileage and spec (8.5k worth of extras) it's pretty good, the extras are:

20" wheels
head up display
Harman kardon
Multi functional instruments
Soft close doors
Comfort seats
Adaptive LED headlights
High beam assist
Reversing camera
dark popular wood trim
Panoramic roof
privacy glass
heated front and rear seats
Internet
Speed limit display

That's fair enough.

I would have to go 640i myself though, if you're only doing 15k miles a year and spending £666 a month on the car, what does another £10 a week in fuel matter?

Take a 640i out properly before you decide, it is a stonker.
