Its a long time since I did a lease deal, some assistance guys?


"Initial Rental
The total amount payable in the first month, excluding initial rental and any other fees." Isn't this contradictory, ie they are looking 9 mths upfront as the initial fee do you have to pay a months rental at same time? This is paid on reciept of car on first day or when I agree a deal?

If a delivery date is missed what are my rights/options?

Anyone any experience of using UK Car Contracts of Reading?

As I understand it.

"Arrangment fee" - this is paid when you order it.
"initial rental" - this is paid after month 1
"monthly rental - this is paid for the subsequent months

On my payment profile it's 1+35 @ £263/months with no fees.

So, I get the car and after one month pay £263 and so on for the next 35 months and that's it!

Also don't forget to factor in servicing and tyres, some deals include it but generally speaking they are added on to the headline price.

Sure - thinking to do the same.
Waiting on a call back from Listers VW. Who was it you spoke / dealt with in Poole?

Ayrton White.
Helpful enough, called back when he said he would and answered my questions honestly.

Plus, no admin fee with Breeze.

Thanks Dave, just be clear th initial 6/9 months fee is paid at end of month one then effectively 2 mths later the first of the 23 mthly payments?

Again, my rights if they delay or cock up?

That initial payment is going to be deducted from you bank acc, after your car delivery, on my example i received a car 05.03 and this payment were deducted 15.03, so my monthly payments are being taken every 15th of the month, starting from 15.04. Hope that`s cleared everything

Do you happen to have any Cla 180 amg in stock or available early next year?

If you look in my profile there's an email address, ping me one over and we can have a chat. Tried to email you, but you don't allow emails via your profile

Bear in mind you aren't going to get anything delivered this year now, not unless you can get the lease co to move very very quickly. There's a mandatory 14 day cooling off period and you cannot get the car delivered within this period. Hence at the moment you're looking at 19th as of today.

14 days? Not necessarily...

Trigger pulled just over a week ago and delivery made earlier today ... so far very impressed!

I admit you'd be lucky to get anything before Xmas now though.

[essayer]

That's true, it was seven days between me signing the VW contract and the car being delivered, so if everyone's suitably motivated you might get lucky

I thought the 14 days was a legal requirement under distance selling rules - this has happened to me with 4 different lease cos. It's a proper pain in the 'arris this time as I am having to share the GFs car - luckily I have an understanding boss. Are you signing for them in a dealership, in person?

I wouldn't have thought there was a legal requirement not to deliver the car just that they had to give you 14 days to change your mind.

I'm going to pursue this further with lease co.

[Fast Bug]

We'll deliver within 14 days, we've turned a few around inside a week if we can get the car prepared and booked for delivery in time.

You can all guess why brokers wait 14 days

Because they don't want to place the order until the cooling off period has expired?

If you go an order at a dealer, there is no cooling off because it's not a distance contract?

[Liam-pwxru]

I phoned VW yesterday thinking there would be 14 day period they said they were happy to deliver the car before that.

My initial was also payed via a cheque before delivery at there request

[Chunkydoc]

Was also informed by the dealer they're confident of getting mine to me before Xmas.

Haven't leased since 2005 and am all giddy like a small child.

I genuinely can't, to be honest. Why?

[Broccers]

Our C1 was delayed so I demanded they loan me a car - had a ds3 for 6 weeks gratis.

You need to speak to the dealer not the lease company as they arent interested once they have your 200+ pounds on booking the deal.

Yup, the broker doesn't want to place the order until the cooling off period has expired.

Not 100% on your last point, but I'm pretty sure there is a distance selling contract via a dealer directly, unless the customer comes in to sign the docs. In all the years I've been doing fleet, I've only had one car rejected within 14 days so it's not that common. Hence why we'd happily turn the car round in under that time frame

I have a BMW 125d which goes back in March, so looking for something similar (size / price / aesthetics) to replace it with.

Came across a good looking deal on a CLA, works out about the same across the duration, however the deal is for stock vehicles which doesn't really suit me.

https://www.contracthireandleasing.com/car-leasing...

https://www.contracthireandleasing.com/car-leasing...

Anyways the deal is for a Mercedes Benz CLA 220 CDI Auto AMG line Shooting brake. (Shooting brake = estate in normal language)

1st deal is 10k p/a, 2nd is 8k, totaling £6,555 and £6,405 respectively... I would go for 10k based on having 4k extra miles for £150..

Anyways spoke to the broker who has them in stock, but said they do have quite a few extras that will push the price up. As it's too soon for me I didn't find out what the extras were and how much it increased the price by, but chap seemed helpful enough.

Thought I'd post as it may help someone, based on the unwritten golden rule, £6.5k or £33k list price < 20%

Enjoy
