I'm back in the market for a reasonable car for work and would like to ask if anyone has seen any good deals recently?

In the past I ordered an A6 2.0 TDI for £199 pm + vat but sadly after waiting 16 weeks it never arrived (what a surprise). A week later I took delivery of another car only to find a message on my answerphone saying "the Audi was mine if I still wanted it"!

So I have a £200 PM Budget (+VAT) does anyone know of any great deals out there?

No Citroen Picasso's please....

Those are business rates unfortunately unless you are self empoloyed or putting it through your company they are a bit more than that as a personal lease, i know as i spent a few weeks chasing these deals. The current Volskswagen deals seem to be all aimed at Business users only unless you can find a broker who will finance you as a sole trdaer. I was after a fully specced Eos at £245 + vat only to be told by 5 or 6 brokers that it would be £450 - 550 per month for a personal dealfrown

I'm still looking. Good luck in getting what you want OP.

Mad as a box of badgers but probably the most honest leasing site I've ever seen.

I would have thought the super-cheap deals would generally be available on stock cars towards the end of the quarter when manufacturers are trying to move inventory and get the registration numbers up.

Getting a deal on a car on 16 weeks l/t makes no sense at all.

Many funders have pulled out of the personal leasing market altogether.

Audi A6 for £199 is interesting, did anyone ever get one for that?
