Hi

New member here. I have a 530d GT M-Sport on 2 year lease deal at £399 + VAT which ends in December. Cracking deal that was on a 50k car.

Problem now is, what can I get next? I can afford a little more but want a similar spec car. Quite fancy a 6-series M-Sport but can't find for similar money.

Any ideas will be greatly appreciated!

Cheers

Just had a thought, when I did my deal on the 5GT I'm sure it was Nov 2011 and I took delivery xmas eve. At the same time I could have chosen a 7 series for the same money. Don't remember a deal on the 6 series at that time although I could be wrong.

Can anyone remember, was the 6 series deal in October and therefore ended before I walked into the showroom in November, or was the 6 series deal later on in January?

Thanks

Right, went into my local dealer today and was quoted the following:

640d M sport convertible - 556 + VAT on 6 + 35 based on 10k pa contract hire

Quite tempting but 200 pm more than I'm paying at the moment

Anyone being offered a better deal please let me know.

Guys ... come-on ... or are you girls??

Awesome car though it is, I want more of a comfortable sports car than a performance car, so want the 6 rather than M5.

As for taking it easy, in an M5, really????

Yeah the GL350 deal is a good deal. Unfortunately it is only available on a business lease (highly inflated personal lease also available)and I don't want to get smashed on company car tax.

Unless anyone can find this deal on a personal lease around same money, ie £480 including VAT????

Just put it on your company name but pay for it with personal money so tax will probably not be a issue.
Thanks for that advice, I had my accountant check that and you're right it can be done without any tax implications. Can even put payments through business account without accounting for it, just offset against drawings - happy days!

Might just pull the trigger on that deal - GL350 at £398pm + VAT - 6+23 based on 10k pa with excess mileage at 10p per mile. That's a cracking deal on a 60k car.

Only downside, they can't get me the car until late February so might have to borrow something for a couple of months!!

I really think I will pull the trigger and buy the GL this week.

Maybe we can do a small group buy?
Going to Mercedes tomorrow to take a look, and very likely to pull the trigger.

Happy to join forces for a better deal. Where are u based, I'm south London.

Cheers

Yeah those Mercedes deals are pretty good at the moment ... seem to be better deals than BMW currently

You can have either a CLS350 AMG sport auto or an E350 AMG sport auto cabriolet for virtually the same money on the usual lease deals.

Might go into the MERC garage again later and finally make a decision.

Current 530d M sport GT goes back in less than 2 months.

Haven't yet pulled the trigger on any deal ... current deal expires in 7 weeks

Have looked at 640d (loved) E350 (liked) Audi A6 (ok)

Trouble is, there are no great deals out there unfortunately, apart from GL350 (hated) and the M5 (serious car but sadly too expensive on fuel costs)

May have to wait til last minute then buy a 'stock' car where there are a few deals to be had for immediate delivery

Unless someone can suggest something (please) ...

Went to MERC showroom but they didn't have a CLS - saw a 2yr old one outside instead but didn't really strike me. Should go see one really, especially with AMG bits should be more appealing I expect.
