Best Lease Car Deals Available? (Vol 3)

[edc]

Lease car or not a second or third car to insure is no different. I've had mirrored no claims on my own private cars but not so for this lease so started at Zero no claims.

It's up on Contracthireandleasing. Pretty expensive, you're talking circa. £500 for a 530i.

Try Horton Skoda

Worth a try but I understand there was a VAG wide (!) price rise last Monday - something to do with the pound falling though the floor I expect.

Thanks for the confirmation, I thought that might well be the case.

Better play the confused.com game with the cars I'm looking at, then! lol

No sign of that on their website - all gone already I wonder (or I need to be looking not from my mobile phone!)

I don't think it's on the site. I emailed direct ad he told me 2-3wks in stock.

Me again...... just wondering if it is worth trying to negotiate prices down with online leasing companies when they have 'hot offers' or do we just accept that it is a deal and that the price is as low as they can go?

Anyone managed to get them down much or have any tips?!

The negotiator in me (it is my job) is finding it hard to accept the first price quoted

I've read that where fees are applied that these can be negotiated down.
but I've also ordered from main dealers so these aren't applicable.

Twice I've tried to call Central this morning and twice they've hung up on the second ring

They beat Simpsons before the rise so may still beat them post rise.

Just came across an Audi S5 Quattro (Sportback) on the following terms:

Deposit - £3000
Monthly - £350
Admin - £300
Mileage - 10k p/a

Anyone seen anything better than this. Seems fairly reasonable...

It's up on Contracthireandleasing. Pretty expensive, you're talking circa. £500 for a 530i.

I expect (and hope) that these will price very well on a 2 year lease.

Residuals will be very solid (as per the old model) despite huge discounts being available. Broadspeed are already doing 10% off the new model.

My 520d M Sport goes back early July so timing looks good.

I'm looking for under £300 on a 6 + 23, 10k maintained deal.

That's very good, do it. I thought I'd missed out on the really cheap deals and got merely a decently cheap one. 3+23 @ £475/m. Oh well.

What colour did you get? I was looking at Volcano Red but not sure if this is standard or will costs extra..

Go to the Audi website and look at the Configurator. That shows what is free/chargable spec wise:

FYI, Misano Red and Tango Red are both £645. No such colour as Volcano Red on Audis.

Same here, my 520d goes back at the same time but I got a feeling the new one won't be anywhere near the cheap deals we've had on these. My money might be going on an E Class with the dual screens.

Yeah Volcano Red is for the old model, seems like they have replaced it with Tango Red.

If I had to order something today, it would be an E Class. Deals look comparable in value to our cars. Come the end of Q1, if the new 5 series is well recieved and selling strongly, I'm guessing that Merc, Jad & Audi will need to support the E/XF/A6. If it gets off to a slow start then BMW will push the lease deals. Either way, I'm sure we will get a deal!

As above, check the configuration tool. Solid black and white are the only no cost options, I went for black.

Thanks - Black looks good. Asked for a proposal form so hopefully it goes through ok!

Value wise I've got to agree, the new E Class has had some great deals on the AMG Line 220CDI and I can see a comparible 520D M-Sport costing another £50-100 easily based on pricing for the previous generation at the start of it's life. The pricing of the EOL F10 models is barely better than the new E Class even now from what I've seen over the last few months.

Only downside is that standard spec on the new E Class is considerably worse than the previous generation (the previous SE came with comand etc. whereas the new AMG Line doesn't) so optioning up will be costly on a 2 year deal.

The brilliant black that comes at no cost from Audi is a nice colour and what I've specced for the A6 Avant Black Edition I have on order. Didn't have much budget for options (£1K) so it was either metallic paint or Matrix headlights for me. I decided the headlights were far more worthy of addition.
