vanarama to lease?

[240Cup]

Anyone used these guys? Currently torn between buying a new Vivaro (circa 20K inc vat for a sportive 125 H1L2) and leasing one for around 250 per month over either 3 or 5 years.

Van is for personal use, for kids bikes / quads / kart / logs / building project etc. I can't offset the vat.

The lease works out around 5K cheaper over the term but of course I subsequently don't own it, whereas if I buy one for 20K on Finance it will eventually be an asset (likely to stay in the family and be run until it drops).

Would quite like a transit but bit over the budget.

Have you looked at some of the mega cheap lease deals on the Peugeot Traveller? I believe you can take both of the two back rows of seats out completely https://www.contracthireandleasing.com/personal/ca...

When I was van hunting recently, Renault offered me 9k off a brand new trafic sport. (Same as vivaro) That was without any previous negotiating. So with vat and other fees it was about 19k. Vauxhall didnt even bother entertaining me. Was very tempted but ended up in a Vito instead.

I used them for my Transit Custom excellent service from start to finish.

Meant to add that I also looked at leasing through vanarama. The headline price at the time for a vivaro was something like 1k down and £169 a month. The reality after speaking to someone and getting a quote was nearly double.

Both 17 plates, but maybe you can get a 67 now? Reversing camera can be useful.
