Best lease car deals available?
Discussion
So assuming you literally use it for going to the station and back, and use your weekend car for everything else, I would have said it's quite expensive.
2 miles each way, 4 miles a day. So only 20 miles a week. Assuming you get 4 weeks off a year, that's only 960 miles a year.
I would have said you are far better off buying a very cheap car which you don't care two tosses about where you park. Even though it's just a C1, still need to stop it getting dented or anything like that as it's on a lease.
If it were me, I'd love to be able to walk/cycle to work if I could and only use the car when the weather is poor.

Agreed on the utter cheapness however you want it to defrost super quick and be warm for the station run else you are wasting valuable time 2 miles each way, 4 miles a day. So only 20 miles a week. Assuming you get 4 weeks off a year, that's only 960 miles a year.

Is that the silver one? I've agreed 249 for 10k just so I could have black 
Have paid £11 a month for the maintenance package too.
Not silver, black or red. I want the missus to go red.Have paid £11 a month for the maintenance package too.
8k in a diesel, because I can't find a gti at 213 a month. It'll also return better mpg on longer trips, which we do every so often.

Can I ask why people are buying a GTD to do 8k miles a year in when the GTi is no more expensive?
If the prices are the same, and the maintenance is included then you're best off with the more efficient fuel surely?

if being better off is the sole objective then why not just buy an old diesel golf? or cheaper still keep the current car? over 8k miles per year it would probably save about £400 p/a on fuel going for the GTD over the GTI, personally to me that would be a price worth payingBRMMA said:

if that's the case then fair enough (well actually it's fair enough either way, people can buy what they want) the point was if the GTD and GTI were the same price then why would you choose the GTD to do such low miles?The GTI would cost more money per month, it's £270, over £213. jesus.

Secured the Golf R for the previously mentioned rate. All done via Scott at Central Vehicle Leasing.
Looking forward to it now
Did you have any extras in the end?Looking forward to it now
Ideally I would of had it in blue with the 19" wheels but that would of put it up around £310 a month which looks a lot less appealing. I just had to have the DSG though
Looking forward to comparing it to the fully loaded ST3 focus it will be replacing.

For a station car you may as well get a used one. They have virtually nothing complicated on them so you won't get grief, despite french. 60mpg you will never see.
I know someone with a VW up with the same engine, average since ownership of 56mpg so not far off.Zoon said:
