Golf r pcp or pch

[cooks19]

Hi all
Just looking for some opinions re some pcp/ pch quotes i received on a new golf r 3 door dsg with below spec:
Black pretorias
Climate windscreen
Vienna leather
Reverse cam
Pcp car Rrp 33701- 48 month term 6k deposit 328/ month vs pch 4103 initial rental 341/ month or 35 month deals -4324 initial 360/month or 2490 initial 415/ month
Advice I have been given so far is that due to expected depreciation of this model to go for pch but would be interested to gain some thoughts from others
Thanks in advance

I was about to say that's an extortionate amount of money but, with the extras you've specced, it probably sounds about right. It still seems daft expensive to me for either a lease or PCP.

I'd shop about if i were you, as i'm sure you could find a much better deal elsewhere. It'll always be the extras that'll make the price add up though. I'd always bear that in mind.

What's the GFV on the PCP deal?

Personally wouldn't entertain that level of options (£3k+) on a lease car.

Options will be the killer. On a lease you'll often pay the full cost of the options you choose. Do you really need a reversing camera on a golf!?!

Almost 17k to lease a golf R for 3 years? That's bonkers.

Each to their own, but I'd be looking at the GTI lease deals...or thinking about buying an R instead (or leasing the leon Cupra?)

[anothernameitist]

I'd not bother with the camera

Also I'd be looking at a Skoda Octavia VRs

If it floats your boat , your choice, but as said before £17k over 3 years, christ

[cooks19]

Good to get some impartial opinions but like you say and I had thought 17k for leasing is silly money... Gvf on the pcp was 13870.

Whatever you do , when you have it, make sure you "dominate the stairs" in any eventuality

[Dimebars]

Weren't 24 month PCH deals around £8k over the term?

If you blow £17k over 3 years on a leased Golf R then you deserve to have it stolen

[Tazio77]

Expensive...my lease deal is £219/month, I put in £2.5k, dealer added another 1100...

Why?

[lee_fr200]

Who cares go for it!

I have the reverse camera and it's great I'm on pcp paying 330 a month got a 2016 gti pp with leather pan roof pro nav dynaudio 90% tints I put 6k down

Tbh I don't care of the cost it fits my budget so I'm happy

I'd personally go pcp as at the end of the term in theory you can buy it or you can trade it in and use any positive equity against another car or just hand it back

One thing I will say is though the leather ain't worth £1700 the quality isn't great a retrim will yield better quality for the same or slightly less money

Bare in mind the new quarter starts on Monday so there will be new finance and lease deals being released

Why?

Very similar car (albeit bigger inside, and not as sharp a drive) - same MQB platform
245hp, so not much slower than the R ("in the real world")
~7-10k cheaper
Massively cheap lease / PCP deals from skoda at present on octavias (and superbs)
Not an absolute tt-magnet
Won't have people smashing your back doors in wanting the keys at 3am

Is that a euphemism?

The vRS is quite a bit slower than the R. Both are quick, but the R is certainly quicker.

Well, they're both limited to 155 aren't they?

vrs is 6.5 to 60 vs 5secs for the golf. I mean, yes, the golf is faster on paper, but you can't actually drive it much faster than you can the octavia - 5 seconds with your foot down and you're well into ban territory in either.

Golf R is a very different beast to the Octavia VRS, cant imagine that anyone really looking for the former would consider latter.

The decision of PCP v PCH for me has always been driven by "Would I consider buying the car at the end of the term ? "

[JS2808]

that lease deal is ste?

[gazza5]

personally would ditch the leather, camara - well up to you. Personally I find the "free beeps (reversing parking sensors)" work a treat, so why I would get the camara I don't know.

17k for 3 years motoring, its a lot, depends how much you like the car, do yo uplan to keep it after 3/4 years, or get something else.

I have a golf r estate, 1560 down, 256 months for 10k miles - 2 year lease, no options.

In all honesty these cars plummet in price - as you can see £17k for 3 years motoring. After the 17k you have to find £13500 to keep it, plus whatever interest charges for loan etc if you don't have a spare £13.5k.

I'm sure you can get more of a discount on broadspeed tbh (other website exist).
