Seems to be a bit of a lull in the great offers seen of late...

Hang on a second though...if you work for a sole trader (which seems counter-intuitive to me, isn't a sole trader a single person) aren't you an employee ? As an employee do you qualify for "business" lease deals anyway?

No, you are the business, it's not a separate entity. We're at risk of going down this plughole again.

That's not true, you can be an employee of a sole trader. Sole traders can, and often do, employ other people and pay the appropriate PAYE and NI to HMRC. You can also be an employee working for Partners or other forms of non-limited companies.

It's generally quite cyclical, we've had the end-of-calendar year rush now. Most likely the next lot of silly deals will be on the run up to plate change in March and just after the plate change for those manufacturers who've got over-supply issues.

That doesn't exclude the chance that a specific car might suddenly crop up at a silly-cheap rate but I wouldn't expect too much until a bit later in the year.

It seems to me that some of the deals are driven by impending facelifts, is that a fair assessment?

That's what I've noticed over the last 9 months of toying with having a lease, but some just seem to pop up randomly.

My dad always bought the run-out models just before the new one came out as he reckoned all the common faults discovered by the end user would have likely to been rectified during the lifetime of the model.

Not a bad approach but then you end up driving round seeing all the new models around you and that gets to me after a while

To be fair, that was back in the days when cars only came with one year warranties!

As someone who has only ever had one brand new car, it's never bothered me, and these days the facelift or new model can look barely any different to the new one, but you can be thousands better off!

Yep facelifts can be a big push for cheap lease deals too. If the newly facelifted car doesn't sell as well as expected sometimes you get great deals on the new car rather than the old one.

Enquired about the several Fiesta ST deals mentioned in the last few pages today.

Turns out they're pretty much gone (unless anyone knows any new ones??)

So with that in mind, does anyone know of any hot hatch offers or fun cars for £175-190 a month?

Also considering PCP is the deal is there. Thanks.

Is this a good deal???

BMW 420d M Sport Coupe
15000 miles per year
48 months
Deposit £4000
£253.22 per month
4.9% APR
Optional Final Rental £12,128.50

I could lower the deposit as I can pay up to £300 per month

Assuming it's a new car then £28k all in sounds cheap for a new 4er m sport.

What's the list price?

4 years is a very long time to commit to the same car.

Sounds like a good deal, where is it from if you don't mind me asking?

In response to the poster saying 4 years is a long time, if it's a PCP deal you could just voluntarily terminate and hand back once 50% has been paid

So about 40 months then !
Deal sounds great. £28k paid over 4 years for a car which looks to £35k+ by the looks of the classifieds.
Would love further details - I'd sign up tomorrow morning.

Ps Assuming it is a new one

I agree what is the list price as £28k sounds cheap

This is a crazy amount of car for the money IMO.

Shame I'm not in the position to sign up for a lease as I'm in the process of looking to move house.

Same I'm not in the position to sign up for a lease as I'm in the process of looking to move house.

5k pa mileage allowance is pretty poor though - I wonder what the price is for a more realistic allowance (or the excess)?

HI Guys, yes its a new car, the 34 miles on the clock I did on the test drive this morning. My dealer has a deal on for the next few days with discounts on current new registered stock. So the list price has a decent discount even before we start talking deals.
