Not surprising though. They've clearly figured out that the future market value is going to be less than they had originally estimated.

But you would think that theyd offer it at original price rather than nothing?

Not much happening on here at the moment, the odd deal for some very non-PH metal but nothing to set the pulse racing.

What happened to the glory days when you could get a seriously interesting car for the same money, as well, some of the very non-PH metal being discussed over the past couple of weeks?

Thoughts on this deal, really like the xc60.
Doesn't seem to be a good time for leasing.

Although the boat appears to have sailed on the very good XC60 deals for the time being, there are still better deals than this out there.

I had a quote from Jet Vehicle Financing the other day:

9+35, 10k miles per annum.
Initial = £2420.91 inc VAT
Subsequent monthlies = £268.99 inc VAT
Fees = £195

Currently quoting mid-May for delivery.

This is about the best around that I've found at the minute, and takes account of the price hikes due to VED changes.

I wasn't sure so didn't send the forms off.

Seems a bit unfair...

Feel your pain but...how is this anyone else's fault but yours?!

Bird in the hand and all that.

Yeh fair enough but there was no indication the price would change. Especially so much.

Really annoyed With VWFS

In October November time I got a quote to extend my lease by 12 months and add 5000 miles on my golf R.

I wasn't sure whether to get 6 months or 12 months so didn't send the forms off.

Now I came to renew it and the quote has expired.

They were offering me the car at 193 a month. Now they are saying 246 a month. 53 a month more. Seems a bit unfair...

Not surprising though. They've clearly figured out that the future market value is going to be less than they had originally estimated.

Pretty sure when I got my extension quotes through from VWFS they were only valid for 7 days.....

Agreed. My 335d Touring goes back in Oct and it doesn't look like I'll be getting something similar for the 320/month it's costing me.

I posted about a C250d deal a good few pages back (£388 6 +23) that i ordered. When I got the order form something didn't sit right. The car was the older 7 speed whereas a 9 speed is now standard. I cancelled the order.

The broker then sourced me the following....

C250d AMG Line Premium Plus 9g tronic
White, 12k per annum
9 + 23 £372p/m Inc vat
Registered 31st March.
I'm just waiting for the Mercedes forms to come through to sign up.

I've got a dilemma as also fancy an A5 Sportback 2.0tdi s line Quattro Stronic. Have been offered one at the main dealer with £300 of options at £386 9 + 23 Inc vat. However, you really want the tech pack & virtual cockpit which adds about £40. My head tells me you get so much more with the merc.

why on earth does a car need 9 gears?
Ridiculous.

Mainly to optimise the narrow power band of the Diesel engine, you do realise it's an automatic...

£500 a month for a C250d

better acceleration due to lower gears packed into 9. better mpg. you can't even tell its changing gear so whats the issue. 9 sounds better than 8

Can anyone explain what fully maintained is and whether it's worth it or needed for a brand new car. How does it differ to a service agreement. I have had a quote of 327 maintained for a BMW touring 520d m sport with selectcarleasing (35+9). Is this a good deal or is it just a case of affordability to the individual. I am comparing to a mother deal: 1 year old c class estate with top spec (premium plus) that I have been offered on a 36 month pcp deal for 8k deposit and balloon of 14k at the end at £250 per month including a service agreement. Which would you choose. The insurance won't differ much. Not sure about fuel economy. Thanks for any advice.

£500 for a c250 is crazy!

There doesnt seem to be any good lease deals on here

[LeftHandedSpanner]

Looking at a Seat Leon Cupra 300 (new model)

230/month on 6+23.
11ppm excess

6000 per year, fully maintained.

Seems a good deal?

Including VAT? Seems OK to me. Works out at £314.58 amortised (assuming no fees) based on 10k miles PA. I'd try and drop the maintenance though, IMO it's not worth it, especially at 6k miles and Will they honour the maintenance contract if you go over the mileage?

Who's it with if you don't mind me asking?

Depends on the maintenance agreement. Most tend to include tyres (including punctures) and all servicing. You need to compare the cost of a service agreement and cost of maintenance and see if that's worth it for what extra you get, which will effectively (normally) be tyre insurance giving you more comprehensive fixed price motoring.

I agree, my 335d goes back in June and nothing's really jumping out at me as a good offer, thinking of selling my Porsche and buying an old Porsche Cayenne to use as the family car for a while and getting a small lease car to go with it.
