Interested in this deal also. Do you have a contact you are dealing with so I can see if they will do the same deal.

Cheers

I’ve not had a response from them since I said yes and also mentioned they’re still having pricing issues so no idea if they’re even going to accept it. If it gets confirmed I’ll post on here as don’t want to waste peoples time.

As a separate offer there’s currently a 1+35 at £381 on leaseloco with LeasingOptions showing up. 8k miles also.

What are your driving settings? Eco, B and e-step on?

I went for the same Ariya. I don't regret it (yet) but as a shop-the-deal person, there have been a couple of cheaper EV deals that I may have considered since.

Standard, D and e-pedal off.
I did try e-pedal on when I first got it, but didn't like how long it took to accelerate after slowing down with the regen. It almost felt like when you're waiting for an automatic ICE car to drop into the correct gear before accelerating off - there was just this annoying lag, so switched it off and now I find it far more relaxing and natural to drive.

I'm not sure what you're paying but I went for 1+23 @ £355 per month for 8k miles and I couldn't find a comparable sized car with that sort of range and level of equipment for anything near that price at the time (I ordered on 3rd April) nor have I since.

12+23, 226.01 on 6K miles, 270 app. fee.

So £340.81 per month for a £50K car.

Good pre reg deal on a DS3

You'll be fine - they stopped selling policies midnight on the 14th May.

I bought a 3 year policy for my Nissan Ariya (that arrived last week from the recent in stock Xcite deal) on the evening of the 13th because I knew they'd stop selling from the 14th. It's only a 2 year lease but wanted the additional protection in case I decided to extend it and the FCA were still stopping GAP insurance from being sold.
It was only an extra £5 or so for that extra year, so no brainer really!

So what position would you be in on a 1+36 lease then if you totalled it on day 2 without Gap?

I haven't bothered checking the fine print of the Ariya lease, but the car before my Tarraco was a Kodiaq also from Zen Auto.
6 months and 2,800 miles into the lease, someone ran a red light and smashed into the side of me writing the car off. Admiral paid out £26,650 to Zen for the market value of the car.

However, Zen were owed £28,500 for the car (i.e. that's what was owed to their balance sheet for the car at the time of the write off) and that therefore created a £1,850 shortfall that I had to fund. I paid that out and then reclaimed it on my GAP insurance.

Also, because it happened within the first year of the lease and I had added it to my policy, the £1,750 initial payment was also reclaimed so I wasn't left out of pocket at all and just rolled over the cash for the initial payment on the Tarraco.

May have been posted already so feel free to delete if so.

We are in the process of leasing a stock Cupra Born v2 58Kw on a 1+36 deal for £389 a month including the premium Aurora Blue paint which feels like a decent deal.

Select car leasing (who we are using) have some decent deals on the Born.

Ordered ours last week, estimated delivery is Friday 24th May.

We ordered ours last Saturday, finance all cleared, signed the order form and paid the fee. I am still waiting for the finance paperwork to sign and then the portal log in. Are they always this slow @ Select Car Leasing?

That is a really good deal, if you don't mind a prereg, the cheapest EV on the market by a margin. Much better than the Citroen Ami.
Just bear in mind that this is trim has been EOLed. It is no longer available at DS.

Did anyone go for the M2 deal a few weeks back? Been told price no longer available...

[bigbarryfatbaps]

So do we think Gap insurance will become available again at some point? I intended to get it to cover the Tesla PCH that im collecting on Saturday but now realised I've missed the boat!

Unclear whether my insurance company (Admiral) do a brand new replacement in the first year for lease cars as the language suggests it's only if you're the 'keeper" that they do. Anyone know ?

We did it via SCL and was fairly quick, all paperwork was done in a week or so. Delivery is today....apparently....not had a call yet so unsure if its coming.

After signing order form etc? I didn't go for the initial deal but one with another broker that was very similar

Ah really, yes was all sorted and signed etc - a shame really as was a pretty good deal. Didn't really get the detail but jist was misprice by the supplier.

Anyway back to looking I suppose!

Spotted this earlier. Same sort of price as a few weeks ago but this time for a Manual car, rather than Auto.

BMW M2, £510/month, 9+23, 5k pa.

It’s a lot of money, but when the equivalent PCP is £9k deposit and £800 a month, it’s a fair bit cheaper.

New car replacement only works if you are first registered keeper, so NO for PCH and YES for PCP if brand new.

Hello,

Seems to be a half decent deal on a cupra leon(1.5)

https://www.leasingoptions.co.uk/car-leasing/cupra...

Has anyone got one of these/do you think this is a good deal?

[carreauchompeur]

Does sound a decent deal, not sure if it’s worst of both worlds between economy and the really fruity Cupra though?

Has anyone dealt with Pink Car Leasing before?

Seem to have an alright T-Roc deal:

Volkswagen T-roc Hatchback 1.5 TSI EVO R-Line 5dr DSG

1+23 | 8000 | £298.47

Only thing putting me off is their mixed reviews on Google.

I took the 530e a few years back and they claimed damage that was not present upon collection but later claimed on full inspection some miles away a week later. Long story short, terrible customer service (Total Motion at the time) I didn't let it go and they took me to court, defended fully and judge award in my favour. Aviod them like thr plague!
