Leasing options

[richardhancock]

Hi,

Im looking at leasing either a C250 cdi, C350 cdi or A4 3.0 TDi.

The 'problem' is that I do around 30K a year and most of the places I looked at either wont touch me or charge silly money.

So, my question is a) Does anyone know of a decent lease co. that is high mileage friendly and b) Would it be better to say go for a 20K contract and swallow the excess mileage charges (which generally work out cheaper than the 30K contract).

Or, do I 'buy' it with a balloon payment and just give it back before balloon is due?

Confused!

Thanks,
Richard.

Well not that I'm suggesting it but I'm sure a lot of people get round that 'issue' by giving these guys a call at the end of the contract http://www.mileagecorrectionservices.co.uk ......

The honest thing to do is to get a 30k contract, I'd be surprised if its cheaper to get a 20k and pay the excess mileage charge.

The residual payment (balloon) will be calculated according to your projected mileage, if the car comes back with a higher mileage than anticipated the excess mileage charge will apply.

Or did I read your post wrongly?
