Been looking for S4 leases at the moment, but can't find any... can't even find the S4 on Audi's online configurator. Have they pulled it to release a new model or something? Or am I just looking in the wrong places?

Alternatively, can somebody recommend another lease deal for something interesting?

Requirements are:

RWD or 4WD
Big enough for the family (no smaller than a 3 series), with 4/5 doors
Sub 5 sec 0-60
10,000 miles pa
24 or 36 months

Usual candidates would be BMW 335d, Audi S4, Mercedes C43, but I can't find the S4 to lease, and the 335d isn't a "thing" anymore. Might see if I can find a C43 now. C63 is sadly too pricey.

would you fancy taking over my S4 lease? see above.. only thing is it needs to be through a business (even though if not all goes through personal account its doesn't effect business)

Anyone who ordered the Jaguar Xf sportbrake from 1st choice leasing received the factory order deposit back?
Looks like 1st choice leasing are closing down.
I tried calling them today and they had a voice greeting saying that due to unforseen circumstances we are closed.

Misread. Doh. I’d check with the FLA who regulate leading companies. You should get your money back

The list of regulators are noted here. Start calling. Good luck. If you paid via debit card you can still charge it back. Call your bank

Thanks I will. I'm sure there were some other people on here who ordered from 1st choice.

Ok so posted a deal. A while ago about an A Class deal but after a few weeks of negotiating further I’ve managed to get an even better deal with the Arnold Clark Dealership in Perth. Spoke to a nice chap called Ross.

The deal I’ve got is £250 per month
3+23 and 10k per annum.

A180 AMG Line Executive Pack.

I personally think this is a great deal. He originally did £230 for the non Exec pack and £250 for non exec mantained.

I didn’t think it was worth it for the maintainence as it didn’t include tyres and realistically how much will two services cost with Mercedes? £150 for first and £200 for the next?

Let me know what you guys think.

Slightly different theme around software, have any PH'ers been told by the Lease Co that they can't use features requiring 'integrated services'.? The Volvo On Call service requires activating and linking to a phone App. The lease company I dealt with for a V90 has pointed me to the T's & C's in the contract. The supplying dealer seemed a tad embarrassed when I enquired and referred me to the lease people.

Which Lease company?

Total Motion - they have been very good with the order to delivery process but not very forthcoming about why they don't allow integrated services, just quoting the contract (which I signed of course!) . Those more tech than me might know better but I can see this becoming an issue in the future. My wife's leased 2 Series doesn't seem to have any restrictions. The man at the dealership muttered something around GDPR but if I had purchased the vehicle and then sold it on, the same data issues would remain. Is there a real issue for these comapnies and the relationship with the manufacturers or is it an overhead they don't want to carry in some way. The deal on the V90 was 15k p.a. for 12 months, no deposit, £335 pm

I'm hoping that when I get my V90 CC next week through Santander it won't be an issue, as you said it will slightly spoil the enjoyment of the vehicle is you can't access all the advertised functions. As it went straight to the dealer I've got my fingers crossed...

That's a good deal! I jumped on the cheap £199 deals but for £50 more a month you're getting the Executive Pack which I think is around £1400 as an optional extra?

Are these in stock or factory order? Did they give you an indication of lead time?

Your deal is tempting especially since it is petrol.

Regarding servicing, I was quoted £274 for A Service on A180d. Was told the seconf service (B Service) would be over £400. Quotes from local main dealer and Pink leasing say that is where it has to be serviced.

[JayLuca]

They didn’t mention specific lead times but I don’t need mine until July so I’m guessing it’ll be factory order as he said he’d need to find one in the system.

The cheap £199 deals I didn’t see them!?

And servicing wow £400 I didn’t think it’d be that much, that’s crazy.

[quinny100]

You could get away with one service on a 24 month deal. Current Mercs are 15.5k or 12 months, so just do the first service 2 weeks late and it won't be due when it goes back. I understand the MBFS charge for a missed service is less than £400 anyway, so I'm going to chance my arm with my C Class.

[quinny100]

I've just ordered the following:

Volvo S90 T4 Momentum Plus
3+36, 15K
£317.44

I've also added a service pack which is £399 which covers the first 3 services.

Factory order for delivery late September.

It's not a stonking deal, but overall I'm happy. The excess mileage charges are reasonable which is important as the car may go back with nearer 60K on, and the service plan will cover that too. It's the car I was after, I can choose the colour scheme and the delivery fits with my C350e due back early October.

I was expecting a £400 'second' service at VAG but it was £200. 400 is just a pisstake
