Likewise :-) .. tbhbthere are some deals about for both saloon and hatch, but not quite at my budget...yet.

My problem is I think it looks a bit boring / rubbish without the 2.5k AMG styling pack which is like 100pm extra!

For those about to hop in to a Cupra, or looking at it. My costs over a two year lease have been:

Expense:
1st year service: £199.
Front tyres (7.5k/14 months in): £144 per corner.

If you're on a 24mth lease find out when the latest date is you can have it serviced and book it for them, should give you some wiggle room at the end.

Issues/Obs:
Clutch is crap for manual, can't take the power.
Developed a few rattles in door skins.
Road noise, not the quietest car.
Soundaktor (disable or snip it).

Otherwise a decent car with a lovely engine if slightly disengaging at times. Like any car with FWD/300bhp in the wet with the OEM tyres, it's wheel tramp city. I'm sending it back probably in need of new discs, new pads and certainly a new clutch on top of its 2 year service, and probably 3 months away from needing 4 new tyres.

On that basis I wouldn't recommend a maintained car if you're taking a 24 month deal.

Couldn't agree more with this. I am coming to the end of a lease on a manual Cupra and the costs during the lease have been minimal. I've done 22,000 miles and its had a set of new tyres and £300 for two services! Not a perfect car but plenty of power when you want it and a very comfortable vehicle to travel in when you don't. No surprise that I have just ordered another one!

Need to replace the family Tiguan which is going back in a few months. Thoughts on this Evoque deal? The Tiguan was 2wd manual 150bhp so this seems like a decent swap?

https://leasing.com/independent-brokers/car-leasin...

£266 6+23 10k, no additional fees

Any other thoughts on this one before I order? Can’t find anything better to replace the Mk2 Tiguan which is going back in a few months!

Have you been in an Evoque? The biggest smallest car I've ever sat in. Pokey interior space, yes, nice on the eye but useless capacity.

Hi all,

Looking for a new lease for next year when my A4 goes back. has anybody had any dealings with The Vehicle Leasing Expert. Seen something that interests me at a fair price but never come across the company before.

TIA

This is a good deal I reckon and a nice car to boot.

Cheaper if you go for the 18 month term instead of the 24 months

Wish you could get the estate for that sort of money.

I second this. I got one and we had a baby while I had it. What was an ok car for me and the wife because useless when you have prams and stuff. Also so average to drive.

For those interested in e-Golf's, I just got the following offer through on email. Seems pretty good especially given basis 10k p/a.

Hey All,

I've leased a couple of cars in the past and have always managed to find good deals. but this time i have been unable to find a decent deal to replace mine in March 2020

My previous 2 deals (6+23 & 10k Miles incl Maintenance)

Audi A4 Sport 1.4TFSI Manual - (£220pm) total cost - £6380

Audi A4 S Line 1.4TFSI Auto with Tech Pack (£255 pm) total cost - £7385.

Is anyone aware of any good deals on 10k/12k miles on a 24 month contract with or without maintenance:
Audi A5, Audi A6 (S line)
Merc C Class saloon/coupe or E class saloon/coupe (AMG Line)
Bmw 3, 4 or 5 series (M Sport)

Thanks in advance

I'm looking for a Cupra replacement and need more space so looking at saloons and estates.

Struggling to find anything intersting to drive with 250bhp+ for max £300ish. Got a qoute with leasing options on another Cupra non-lux @ £304 on 1+23 with 10k miles per year, just wish the ST was this price as I wouldn't hesitate to go for that with the bigger boot (even if could choose no 4motion to lower the price).

You may be interested in the best option I found so far - VW Arteon SE 2.0 TSI 190 direct with VW. £293 on same profile and miles as the Cupra qoute above.

It doesn't look as good as the R-Line and have to live with cloth seats, no virtual cockpit, urano grey and basic parking sensors. Also given it's size/weight and engine I wouldn't expect much fun or driver involvement. It does still have a pretty decent spec though such as ACC.

Not signed up yet as half hoping for a better and/or cheaper deal...

I'm in the exact same situation as you... Cupra going back in a few months and also struggling to find anything intersting to drive with 250bhp+ for max £300ish.

10k miles. 35kwh is below the 40kwh 'norm' - colour?
£1499.99+23x199.99 +vat = £7319.71 any fee?
£304.99 ammortised per month

[MOBB]

Delved into the world of EV by signing up for a Tesla Model 3 Performance through my Ltd Company. £551 plus VAT, 3+23 through Select.

Not a particularly cheap deal compared to other cars, Select were just about the cheapest and very good to deal with.

Should take a month or 2 to arrive, but need to allow for Tesla's chaos probably.

450bhp and 0-60 in 3.2. Will leave my CLS63 AMG for dead, and costs 80% less to run.

No benefit in kind tax for 2020/21.

May as well enjoy the cheapness while it lasts!

Thinking of going for a personal lease on a BMW i3 (probably the S model) - would be my first lease and first EV, so any advice gratefully received!

£348.24 per month (6 + 23) + £199.99 on the below - looks pretty decent to me - any thoughts?

https://www.allcarleasing.co.uk/car-leasing/bmw/i3...


Or alternatively, for the standard model (looks much better value to be honest) -

£295.20 (6 +23)

https://leasing.com/main-dealers/berry-bmw-heathro...

[MOBB]

We looked at the i3 and my wife liked it, but with a bit of budget creep you can get into a base Jaguar i-pace or Tesla Model 3

Especially if you start to add options to the i3, the higher specs of the i-pace and Tesla can make compelling cases. Teslas can be had for under £400 on the terms you listed above.

Have you seen the e-Golf deals about, some stonking deals.

Not dissing the i3 by the way, cracking car, I just thought I'd highlight our recent experience :-)

Not my sort of vehicle but it may appeal to some.

Seems to be about 17% at RRP unless I've borked the maths

New! Peugeot 3008 GT Line Premium 1.2 130ps 5dr Manual
• Air Conditioning
• 3D Connected Navigation
• Glass Panoramic Sunroof
• Front & Rear Parking Sensors
In Stock Ready To Go, Sunset Copper Only
£187.99 + VAT per month
Initial rental: £187.99 + VAT (1+17*)
Customer to maintain
10,000 miles per annum

That's with ukcarline.co.uk. No fee is mentioned on the email I got but there may be one..

'Sunset Copper' sounds like a retired policeman

I am surprised this has not attracted more comment. This is £225 per month amortised for the top specification of 3008, a car which has had good reviews generally in the press. The offer is not online, but i have received confirmation it is genuine from ukcaronline.co.uk.

I'm not going for it, because I don't think I am ready to give up the extra 187bhp of my current steed!

Thanks, that's really helpful - just looking at e-Golf deals at the moment!

I wouldn't be adding any options to the i3 to be honest, standard kit is enough, especially given that the newest car I've ever owned is from 2008. And a Fiat Panda. It'll feel like I'm literally in the future

ETA - The problem is I don't actually want an e-Golf. Just because it looks, well, like a Golf.

In need of some advice about VW lease and returning vehicle!

I have a Golf GTI being collected by BCA on Friday. Front left tyre (nearside) has a nail in the shoulder which by law is illegal to repair so looks like I might have to swap it out before collection.

I have the exact same model and brand tyres (pliot sport 4) on all corners, do I have to replace it with another pilot sport 4 or can it be any “premium tyre”?

Park the car so the nail is at the bottom. Who is going to inspect the tyres, roll the car half a tyre circumference and then reinspect them?

My fingers are crossed as also getting a car inspected today and have a bit of a scuff on one of the wheels - this scuff is most definitely pointing downwards.

The right thing:
Replace the tyre with something of the correct size/profile/speed rating. It doesn't matter if it's a budget tyre.

The wrong thing:
Use a sharpie to colour the nail head black. Ensure the tyre rotation is suitably obscured by the ground when BCA arrive. Save the hassle/expense. If they call you back about it on further inspection I suspect the nail was a product of the BCA driver taking it back to base.

The option thing:
If there's decent tread left on the tyres, if may be worth sticking 4x Nankang/Chintyre on it and selling the 3x Mich tyres.

• Assumption, you've known about the nail for a while but continued to drive on it as it's holding pressure, and that you accept there's a risk to whomever picks it up. No judgement cast.
