Lease on Golf R

[airtrack12000]

I used Solent Vehicle Leasing as my broker and they were shocking!.. I ended up speaking with the dealer (telford vw) directly....

Has anyone leased a golf R on a personal lease?

Welcome to page 257.

[Marc118]

Sorry, that was a bit vague.

I haven't read all of the pages but assumed that most of these deals were 'business leases'.

The reason I ask is that I spoke to an online leasing company the other day about a car that was advertised as a 'personal contract hire', however after speaking to them, I was told that even though it was advertised as a personal contact lease, I had to meet certain criteria, of which 2 of them are below.
1) I had to be a high level executive or lawyer etc
2) Be able to prove that I could claim mileage through work.

I explained that I wanted as a personal lease not through work but she said that was the deal on that car.

Silly question but is it possible to get a lease car that has nothing to do with work?

[Broccers]

Really

[Marc118]

This is the same type of contract. Do all personal leases specify the same criteria?

It depends entirely on the funder.

[b0rk]

I'd guess the funder is VWFS on that deal and it is Business Contract Hire with you declared as a sole trader.

Where's the best place to get it on a personal contract hire rather than business?

[AGK]

Try central uk vehicle leasing.

Can I ask what BW you were? I was BW9, car at Emden on 4 March and still on stage 5! I contacted the dealer yesterday to be told there is a huge backlog on this side of the channel meaning nothing is being sent over

Craig, I think I ended up as BW11, although I can check when I speak to the salesman over the coming few days... was originally told BW15 though, so it's happened a fair bit sooner than I originally expected. Not sure why some cars would leapfrog others in the queue which were built earlier though?!

Looks good mate, I was driving down the A64 this morning behind a Tornado Red R. Really suits it

How much roughly are you guys paying for your R's?

[Gazzab]

About £7.5K over 2 years with a few extras.

Volkswagen. The PCH is a personal contract hire.

I'm in the same boat (or not) as you - was built in week 9 and has sat in Emden since

Dealer said VW are prioritising newer built cars so not to clog the port up even more. I guess it's easier to load the new cars straight onto the ship instead of shuffling them around the port.
