Lease car????

[Edd_Wiltshire]

Hi Folks.
My girlfriend is starting a job and has a company car allowance.
She has previously worked for a company owned by VAG Group so she has one f their cars at a very reasonable rate.
She has test-driven a few and decided on getting a Mercedes A Class.
Does anyone have any recommendations on what lease car company to use?
Any help would be fantastic.
Mercedes was expensive - that much we know!!!
Thanks
Edd

I've used Lings Cars a couple of times (crazy bird from Dragons Den).

Great service, shocking website (but deliberately so).

Aim to use the cheapest, there’s no much to choose between them.

Focus on finding the best deal on leasing.com and leaseloco.com

Start with a comparison site like leasing.com, which will search multiple lease providers for a chosen car, and list the results in the same way as a comparison site would for car insurance.

Make sure the cheapest doesn't end up being expensive to hand back as they have a bad rep for fair wear and tear

It’s the funder that sets the charges for wear and tear etc, not the broker.

Used them for my first ever lease. Probably the best company I've ever dealt with on a customer-service level, but their deals are some of the worst. I've always found the equivalent car much cheaper elsewhere, but the service was impeccable.

Thanks for all of the replies.

She test drove an A-Class A200 which I thought maybe a bit gutless with the 1.3 but she said it was ok.

Interesting that there are hardly any deals on the A220 or A250 and the A35 might be overkill!!!
