Best lease car deals available?

[TheJelley]

Think I am going to order one at 1+17. Do miniscule miles but lots of country lanes, pretty much perfect for me.

That deal's also from Central.

You can also have £129.99 + VAT on a 1+17.

That's actually cheaper all in, and if it is written off you've only lost one month's deposit if you have gap insurance.

Hi

Does anyone have any experience of Audi Solutions PCP deals. Got a new S3 on PCP last week. Never had a brand new car before, always bought outright (with bank loan) and never done PCP before. The deal is over 4 years but I've been told by a few people that the dealership will be in touch well before the end of the term to offer me a new car for roughly the same payments. So they get back a fairly new car with low miles to sell second hand and I get a fresh S3....sounds like win/win...or too good to be true.

Does this actually happen or will Audi prefer to let the deal run to it's conclusion and I'll have to hope the vehicle is worth more than it's GMFV in order to have some deposit for another one?

Any tales/experience/advice appreciated!

Thanks

AndyMac

You can trade it in and buy a new car whenever you like. Depending on how much your deposit was and the interest rate of your loan, you may or may not be in negative equity.

Same as any finance or loan...

Is this offer for the 208 gti? How did you get a quote with only one month up front?

Cheapest I've seen is this GTI deal, not sure if its good/bad but it is 5 door & 15k miles per year and comes with PP.

That looks like a damn good deal.

Over 16k for 3 years is a terrible deal.

What I dont understand is if you go to Volkswagen dealer the Golf GTI and GTD ate similat list prices but you can get a better discount on the GTI.

With leasing you can get plenty of deals for the GTD for 2 years for less than £6500 but to lease a GTI the best deal is about £8500.

It is, but it was cheaper when it was posted. Still not exactly cheap but good for the car.

[Ockham]

Any decent sub £100 deals - I'm after a mile muncher - - to work and back thats it - 20 mile crap motorway driving and then 5 -6 mile a roads.

[davamer23]

Anyone know of good Fiesta ST deals, 15k pa 2year? 3,6 or 9 initial payment doesn't really matter.

Yes for the 208, it is in the email they sent out. I have requested a formal quote, will let you know what they say.

On a business contract hire does the insurance need to be in the business name or can it be in the drivers name? Can he use his NCD and do things like add a spouse? Sorry bit off topic but related to contract hire.

Centralukvwhicleleasing sent out an email with the 1 upfront deal. I believe most brokers can offer lower upfront deals, you just have to ask them.

Most offer the higher upfront deals as they know that most people like to convince themselves that their car is "only costing me £xxx per month" - I always work out the whole term deal, and I guess the larger upfront reduces the finance interest charges slightly, but having seen what happened to the guy who had his Golf R nicked, I'd be happier with a low initial payment.

Simpsons Skoda in Preston seem to have a good deal currently, Octavia VRS Hatch Diesel with sat nav and metallic paint for £189.00 pm 8k miles over 24 months.

[GreatGranny]

Emeye said:

This STD 2 with nav deal doesn't seem too bad.
Shame they look a bit of a mess. Can you damage limitate by choosing a particular colour?

Neighbour has just taken delivery of a white one. Think its an ST3 petrol.

IMO looks really nice with the titanium coloured wheels.

IIRC when posted it was about £10k for three years and 45k miles of fairly swift motoring, that's pretty good in my book.

Thanks for info, Im looking at buying the 208 Gti as i little bit of fun for 18 months for the price it is atm, Also would you recommend getting the GAP insurance for this vehicle with it being such a low upfront fee? i don't really understand GAP insurance. if i don't get it and it was written off in say 2 weeks wouldnt my insurance cover it and i wouldnt lose out as such due to the low deposit?

DEFINITELY get GAP insurance.

The lease terms will probably say what the lease company is entitled to if the car is written off.

It is possible that that amount will be more than the market value. What if the lease company will only settle for list price, whereas the retail value of the car is likely to be far below? You'll also be liable for all the lease payments even if the car is written off.

If you get GAP it won't be your problem. Just make sure it's the kind of GAP that is designed for contract hire deals.

With GAP you'd only lose your first month's deposit. Without it, in the worst case scenario, you could be left liable for more than the total cost of the lease.

Hi guys

Blatant plug for that free car financing calculator website I put together. Just updated the car selection so thought I'd mention it again on here in case its of interest.

The best deal I've seen recently was on the 208 GTi - already discussed. Not seen as many as usual though so guess they're gearing for next month perhaps?

[Emeye]

Anyone found out what the excess mileage is on the 208 gti yet? I'm abroad and my email is a bit stuffed. I was going to sell my e92 and replace it with an old estate, but thinking I could use my wife's frv for house resto purposes if her and the 3 kids can fit in the 208. Shame it isn't 5 door....

Also, any idea what real world mixed mpg would be on the 208?
