I've sent sent the order form back. Was asked for driving license and statements and they've been approved. So hopefully have it in a month as well. Trying to plan a trip to Wales to see a friend and enjoy the roads.

Ah ok haven't been asked for those yet.

Inclusive of what?

Is that the AMG sport or SE?

Is it a private deal?

What's the admin fee?

Thanks. It's not a very good deal I don't think, plenty of places are doing them for less or the AMG sport at the same price.

Not very P.H but a fully maintained nissan note for £120 seems quite good value for a non petrolhead.

As a side note, ive just ordered a Fiesta ST3 (keyless go, sat nav, bluetooth and heated recaros ) for £231 a month at 15k miles

Also not very PH, but I was quoted £124 + VAT for 3+35 @ 20k miles per year on a Skoda Rapid 1.2 SE Connect today. There are not many cars available and they're stock. Chances are high that they've sold out already.

I take the low stock line with a pinch of salt. When I ordered my Fiesta ST-3 last week I was one told that was one blue and one black left in stock. Super Slow Mo must have the last black one left as I had the last blue.

If you went through Gateway2lease then yes I got the black one which I was told was the last

Sorry wrong name. I thought slo picked up the Fiesta. I was tired last night and browsing on the phone. Looks like they were right then. Have you received a specific date yet? I've had my docs I sent as proof approved and I'm just waiting to receive the finance documents.

I just ordered my st3 from g2l, arrives on the 5th. I was told there was 1 blue and 1 black left, then when i went to reserve the blue, both were gone. Next day i had a blue one saved for me that they had in stock in the same spec.

Try freedom.

They have that model for less (£286) or the 250 AMG sport ( bigger engine, better spec) for £312.

Ask for Abbie or Roxanne, very helpful.

Indeed they do!

Seems like the same batch all released today as they weren't around earlier this week!

Unfortunately all a bit too early for us as we need a deal at the end of the year!

Timing can be a real pain.

I've got my new car arriving a week today but a month overlap with the old which is money I can I'll afford but the deal went up by £23 a month if I wanted October delivery.

In itself not a fortune but 9 x £23 as a deposit increases that by over £200 and then a further 23 x £23 is another £500+.

Hopefully when you're ready there will be a good deal. I've no affiliation to freedom but found them to be very sharp on price and admin.

Hopefully they will all be keen to move stock in December.....it's just a question of playing the waiting game!!!

I haven't received an exact date yet. I wonder if yours was a cancellation. I'm sending the signed finance documents off tomorrow.

Hi all,

Looking for a bit of advice on the finance side of the lease deals.
My most recent car was a C63 AMG and i bought it when it was 3 years old. I lost £15k on it when i owned it for two years and sold it. Afterwards I worked out it would have been cheaper to lease, plus i would have been driving a new one.

I currently only earn £300 a month from my weekend job as i work contracts in IT but am between contracts.
Thinking of going permanent job hunting soon though, not 100%.

Can someone give me a breakdown in how the lease is accepted or declined on affordability?
I would have thought most of the weighting is on the current salary of the person applying.

The top 3 cars i am interested in leasing are the Fiesta ST, VW Golf R and Mercedes A Class AMG.
At the moment i am thinking i would only be accepted for the Fiesta ST at a lease of £180 a month.

I have enough savings to buy one of the cars outright, but am i right in thinking this is not taken into account for affordability?

[Welshbeef]

What car do you currently drive after selling the C63?

You need to pass the probation period so that will be min 3 months possibly 6 months before you commit to any ongoing liability.

Why do they care so much?

Sorry to bump the thread but the sales chap at my local leasing company told me that the dealerships had been complaining about retail customers getting accepted for business lease cars by providing very little information. The lease deals are always better than the retail ones so manufacturers would rather have retail customers and protect their margin,the leases help them manipulate the used cars value when they are returned back to the market.

[Fast Bug]

I think you'd struggle if I'm honest

[WWESTY]

With FCA regulation now, and the emphasis very much on affordability, then I also think you will struggle.

Apply for a car and see what happens. They get back to you in a couple of days.

It's a bit of a myth that you can drive a new white RR Sport on a lease if you've not got a decent income.

Lending criteria can be pretty strict as they are in essence giving you a 5 figure product that you are only going to pay back a small percentage of.
