I've had 3x 24 month leases now, at at their advertised rate, so no, I'm not worried about that.

Good, glad to hear it is not something they do regularly.

I've just ordered a Seat Leon 1.5 TSI EVO 150 FR 5Dr Manual from Vertu...

1+23
8kpa
Metallic paint
£225.76
Stock vehicle

No broker fee.

I make that 23.74% against an RRP of £22825.

Thats the same as the one I put on earlier, that was Vertu but 10k for £229 something. I think they are a good deal IN THE CURRENT CLIMATE.

Just as a caveat to what you have put down, metallic paint is a non cost option on the FR so shouldnt affect the lease price.

Agreed, I've been looking for around 6 months for a mid sized hatchback for my wife, and this is the first time I've seen anything I wanted to go ahead with. We currently have a Golf 1.6 TDi Match Edition DSG, which I felt was a really good deal - 1+23, 5kpa, £191.99 per month + the broker fee. That goes back in a little over 3 weeks after we extended for 3 months.

I wasn't aware that metallic was a no-cost option, but with the Golf we had no free choice, and took the standard Urano Grey. It was nice to have more of a choice this time.

Agree with that.

Kodiaq Edition is a weird spec too - leather seats and electric boot, but no parking sensors.

Didn't know that. What a load of ste. Maybe I'm tight but I can't see myself ever paying extra for parking sensors ever again. 2018 FFS.

Not too weird, the Edition has rear parking sensors I believe but no front sensors. In fact it’s only the Scout trim that has both front and rear as standard.

Remember manufacturers want you to add options so carefully try to leave some things out that people want (but not necessarily need) and maybe cleverly package them in a bundle to encourage you to spend a little more whilst you are at it.

Things may change with the new rules as more manufacturers are providing set specs, this is the way SEAT have gone now. It’s great if there’s a model with everything you need but I tend to find I want the top spec and now have to basically fund options I wouldn’t previously added.

Did I see an XC60 deal that was was due for Jan/Feb delivery? I can't seem to find it now..

Santander. Petrols not available until next year (factory lead time). Think a couple of us have placed orders for T5 R-Design's (worked out about £25 per month cheaper than D4). I've requested early 19 plate (current Tiguan goes back mid Feb so works out).

Best colour too and the heritage pack has really grown on me. The attention the car receives is quite surprising.

The car really does get noticed.
Noise may have something to do with it.
MPG is terrible lucky to see 30 on my daily drive in Spt mode, good fun though
The Matt black pack gets rid of the Suns glare & no worries about bird poop either!

You're right on Kodiaq - I was thrown by F+R sensors being listed as an option - rear is standard, the option only adds the fronts.

I think SEAT's move is a good one - daughter just got an Ateca SE-L and the spec is pretty amazing for the money and spot-on I reckon. But owner forums are going ape about it.

£240 fees on top, decent as it comes with executive package too, i enquired earlier and they say it’s a 7-10 day delivery time, i might wait till december/january still for the saloon version

The Kodiaq SE Technology comes with front and rear sensors as standard. Same with Scout. Crazy on a car that size that it isn't standard.

A180s are nice to be in (especially an Executive) but the downgrade for me from a Golf R would be unbearable in terms of speed.

I opted for a A250 AMG basic line (including the lack of rear parking sensors but got a reversing camera, thanks MB)

23+9
10k
£360 admin
£274.51 inc VAT

Spread across 2 years cost per month = £381.01 which is decent enough.

PM if you want details.

Just as info really, but we leased an XC60 T5 from Bells Motor Group Volvo (Marc Tilling is the chap we used - he was excellent).

We ordered at the end of May and it was delivered on the 1st Sept. The Finance company is Santander, but it was beneficial for us to go via a Volvo main dealer for the lease.

And, having had it almost 4 weeks now, we love the car.

We paid £3k initial payment and then £316/month. We also added the Winter Pack.

What's a mickey take is they charge you £360 to add F+R parking sensors on all models of Kodiaq, even on the Edition which already includes rear sensors.

Floor mats extra too..

Just had a quote from MB Finance to extend my current A250 for a further 6 months.

Existing Deal was 9+23 @ £250 inc Vat 10k

To extend they want 6 x £363 inc Vat

It will be going back!!

Sounds like you won.

New deals on the A250 AMG aren't great but aren't awful either.

Online configuration tools are not always correct, or is this from the options brochure?
