Hi all,

I have been looking at deals for Mercedes E class Convertible on personal lease for end of December delivery. As the new model is due to be released sometime in 2017 would you recommend hanging on for a couple of months to see how the prices go? Anyone found any recent deals recently?


E Class Diesel Cabriolet
E220d AMG Line Edition Premium 2dr 7G-Tronic
2 door, Diesel, Automatic

I have seen anywhere from £421 per month at luxury leasing (36, +9 10k) to £525 (same) per month however still trying to benchmark what is a good deal.

Any help massively appreciated. Cheers all!

I've just returned that model after two years through Freedom.

Two things, firstly those prices sound high, I paid £401 a month plus 9 months down for the same mileage and would expect to do better.

Second, if you can get the E250. The 220 is the same engine but single turbo, it's not a nice version at all.

Try freedom contracts or Applied Leasing, both will beat that price.

Just looked at Freedom and they are quoting £363.59 inc vat (9 months down) for personal 10k pa

The E250d was dropped a little while ago, only the E220d and E350d are available in the oil burner side of things. I don't think the 220d is a bad engine really.

Production ends in October and MB are pretty good at not having too many old model cars around when a new model comes out. So I wouldn't expect a knock your socks off deal at the end of the year unless there's still a fair few units knocking around

Don't sign up to an old model E class now? That doesn't make sense to me. Wait a while for the new one, it looks amazing! £400 a month on a 9+ is big money.

I didn't realise the 250 had been discontinued. I found the 220 a bit under powered (and I'm not a fast driver) whereas I had a ML 250 and found the engine a lot smoother and pokier.

I'm holding out for a new model cabrio next year, £400 wasn't bad it's quite a car.

you could be sued for the full amount due.

The 220 is ok, it's no ball of fire though. The new 220d engine is very nice, I'll have a cab next year as I won't need the boot space for a pushchair. The new E Coupe looks really nice in the flesh too

When's the B250e coming out with the 200 mile battery?

Bmw dealers are offering the i8 on contract hire 9/23 at £720 plus vat but what was also interesting they offered 640d m sport grand coupe for £287 plus vat.

Considering a personal lease for the wife.

£1500 down and £200 a month (inc VAT) would be fine.

Only does 5,000 miles pa.

Doesn't need to be maintained.

Would prefer something not terribly slow as coming from a 235bhp Alfa!

She would prefer something German and it would need to be not too big but big enough to have 2 x kiddy seats in the back.

I guess that means a Golf or A3? What are the best deals?

Seat Leon Cupra Black is circa £6k total.
Ordered a 5dr hatch with metallic paint & 10k pa for £249 inc VAT on 1+23 from IMG Seat Warrington (think they would be willing to do different profiles as well e.g. 3+23, 6+23 etc).

Seems a little extreme!

Fast Bug mentioned it, but it's worth stressing that it's a completely new 4cyl 2 litre engine in the new E Class.

The E Coupe and Cab have the old 2.1 engine in at the moment. The new 2.0 engine is only is the new E Saloon and Estate at present.

Someone asked about the 200 miles range electric B Class, I've no idea at the moment. I'll speak to product marketing tomorrow and see what I can find out. I'm out of the office all day today with a customer

What does your order form or contract state? Mine simply states if you cancel the order it's 300+VAT to cancel the order.

Nationwide vehicle contracts are doing a deal on the Seat Leon SC FR 1.4 EcoTSI Titanium:

3x23 - £180 p/m
8000 miles

Is this good value compared to the CUPRA deals? Might be more appealing for insurance/fuel.

[DeanoX]

I have a C250d coupe on a good deal when they were being run down for the new C Class Coupe. I'd been hoping similar deals would be around for the E coupe as it approached replacement - as there were for both Saloon and Estate but nothing has yet looked attractive.

Current deal ends in Dec...and favourite to replace is a 430i Gran Coupe

Fastbug - I'd be very interested in the electric B Class as I was going to go for an i3 but couldn't get over the looks, but the B Class looks like a 'normal' car so assuming it's as good as the i3 I'd be up for leasing one. Any details would be great!

Which dealers are doing the i8 deal at £720?

Very tempting, man maths at the ready!!

Right - but he said he was holding out for the new cabriolet next year.

When you mentioned "the new 220d engine is very nice", which engine were you referring to? The old 2.1 or the new 2.0?

Not a Cupra deal and maybe too small for you but 3+23 136.1 inc VAT for a Fiesta ST Line 140 ecoboost from fleetprices.co.uk

I think this is a cracking deal personally, I see you also get met paint, convenience pack plus and full link with it so with the standard equipment and these extra bits it looks great value. Ultimately the Cupra deals are the best for what you get but this deal is a good alternative for those who want lower fuel and insurance costs
