Best lease car deals available?

[af123]

Apologies I didn't notice the Vat - that's a great deal!

+ if there's a cheap deal going why keep quiet about it?

No need to keep quiet, link directly to the deal, not your spammy site.

Is it just me or is this a belting deal?

£650 deposit and just over £100/months for the Fiesta ST's baby brother?

Yeah that's pretty decent.

I paid £850 + £135pcm (all inc VAT) for a 1.25 5dr fiesta zetec just last month, which seemed to be the best deal around at the time.

Zetec-S' are the best Fiesta to get at the moment. If you can physically get one.

Just priced one at work for a touch less then the figures quote above for not much less and that's for me personally.

I've been building myself up to look at an ST-3 on lease early next year but it's hard to ignore the EcoBoost Zetec S... they look very similar, and I'm told the engine is a peach! It's not quite half the price of the ST but by the time fuel and everything else has been taken into consideration, it does merit thinking about.

That looks great value. A friend just had a Focus estate with the same 1.0 125bhp engine as a hire car in Germany and he was raving about it. He's hard to please so it must be a good one.

The remainder of the year will be Merc deals mayhem I've heard

The big question is when to jump in!!

Ideally we want a car delivered to us by mid Dec so timings are getting a bit tight and it's hard to pick the bottom of the market!

WTF is this leaseAIDS.com that keeps on popping up?

I can think of better ways to spend £25k. BIK will be massive on that too.

I was thinking the same, I think this is one of the times that an outright purchase is definitely the way to go.

The engine is underpowered even for the hatch; it doesn't bear thinking about in an estate. I would avoid.

I didn't include VAT as dude was suggesting doing it through his business, and therefore could claim some VAT back.

But still :-o

You can only ever claim half the vat back, and for cars over 130g co2 not at all.

On top of that, unless it's a hybrid or other car with its co2 massaged into the ground, it's pretty much always more expensive to do BIK than it is to just rent the car out of taxed income.

To be fair the R deals came around April. A number were not truly personal deals and some orders were messed about. I suspect that these then became new PCH deals. As the price rised then dropped again.

No. I ordered mine mid March and they'd been around at least a month before that. How long do you need anyway? Even if it was April that's still 6 whole months to get off your arse. In reality it was more like 8 or 9 months.

I enquired but they couldn't hold one long enough for me, so I'd have had to pay two leases for 3 months which I didn't want to do. And now I can only get a GTD for around the same money.

Hold it long enough? There was no physical stock in the network and a 4-5 month waiting list almost immediately. There will have been nothing to hold, and in any case you're kind of proving the point that if you snooze you lose, unfortunately

Hold is the wrong word, I couldn't get a delivery slot that suited me when the prices were at rock bottom. Then when I was in a position to order, the prices weren't as attractive.

Are you this abrasive in real life? Genuine question.

Absolutely stupid idea.


The BIK on that car is £756 a month, on principal just buy it yourself, otherwise you are paying twice.

Ask for the £756 as wage, you will still be around £300 a month better off.


If they supply fuel the BIK is £985 a month.
