Don't work for them, their a local company that I saw were advertising in the Business Insider Magazine (Don't work for them either) and the 1+ profiles caught my eye.

It looks a bit suss when a new user joins, then posts a link to a company in the same area.
lol true might look dodgy, but nah just joined for some advice from people who lease rather than the people who try to lease vehicles if you get me. Fell I get more honest impartial advice then.va1o said:

What are people being quoted for GTD lead times? I am having a nightmare with the GTD I ordered through CVL, keep moving the date back, breaking promises, not responding to e mails etc.
I too have had issues with CVL albeit slightly different ones with regard to an order where the excess mileage was misquoted and then a subsequent quote with a higher mileage was apparently misquoted also.I cancelled the lease as a result and am now waiting for the return of the doc fee.
In answer to lead times, it's very variable depending on spec and dealer. If it's pushed back to week 22 (or later) it's not all bad since it means you'll get a 2016 model year car. These will gain the 6.5" high-res display from the new Passat, and theres rumours of apple CarPlay or built in sat Nav becoming standard....

just found this deal when comparing prices for an A CLASS on Business, I found this company that stuck out mainly because they seem to offer a range of no deposit car leases, listed on the website as a 1+, does this mean there is no hefty initial payment like with the 3,6,9 profiles?
They stuck out to me because I Couldnt find many leasing companies that offer a 1+ profile especially on a wide range, any reason for that?

£6480. That's 30% of the RRP for only 6k/yr. A long way from a good deal. Sorry.They stuck out to me because I Couldnt find many leasing companies that offer a 1+ profile especially on a wide range, any reason for that?

IMHO good 2 year deals are where the costs are 20-25% of RRP, ideally nearer to 20%.
That seems a very odd way of deciding whether its a good deal. Surely it depends more on the expected depreciation of the car in question? On some cars a lease costing 50% of its RRP over 2-years could still be cheaper than buying and selling.
Still able to get R262 Touareg's at a good price http://www.nationwidevehiclecontracts.co.uk/Volksw...

The C250CDI deal above doesn't look good when (until last weeek) you could lease a 535d M Sport for approximately the same cost.
I don't claim to be an expert, but it's just my rule of thumb when I choose a car to lease.
As said above, why lease 1 car when a more expensive RRP car can be leased for the same money? No right or wrong answers, as we all like different things. This year I'm driving a 125D, last year a SLK 250CDI, both what I consider 'good' deals, so that then forms my judgement for future deals.

Yes, but that 50% example is probably a car you shouldn't touch with a barge pole when brand new under any circumstances, because buying at 2 years old would be cheaper than leasing as long as it makes it past four years old.On some cars a lease costing 50% of its RRP over 2-years could still be cheaper than buying and selling.
It's not foolproof but it isn't a bad rule of thumb.
Sorry but i don't agree. RRP isn't really at all relevant to deciding whether it's a good lease price or not.
The best deals are the ones where the total cost over the term is less than what it would cost to buy the same car (cash with discount) then sell/ trade after the equivalent term. Simple as that really and foolproof to calculate!

Is it just me or do lease companies just make it up as they go along?
I've decided for the first time that I'm going to lease a car and I've been trawling Contract Hire and Leasing to get a feel for the market. Today I called a few of them up to get a quote on a lease deal advertised on their websites only to find out that the one I'm after has gone but they can offer me a metalic one for better money or that the 'Stock' car they advertise is actually 3 months delivery?
I've not found one yet that can offer the deal that they are advertising. Not one.
They also manage to 'do a better deal' on higher specced models than advertised but thats not what I want.
I'm sure I'll get there in the end but it's bl00dy annoying. It seems that the cheap deals are only there to hook you in and then their strategy is to upsell to you.
Do they all do business this way?
