To be fair, most people think they're all just trim specs (latter 2 are!).

Well I've just done a deal on an A45 AMG to be delivered in 2 weeks...but I didnt put the details here as its far from a "deal"! I went for fun over sensible....could have rented 3 ugly VW's instead

I'd have liked some big fat cheap Merc barges!! Pity the Passat was just too cheap to dismiss...

Silly cheap VW Up deal

That's excellent. I assumed it'd be the lower spec 'Take Up!' model, but it's actually the reasonably specced 'Move Up!' you get!

Can you give us some more exclamation marks please?

The Up is actually called the Up! with an exclamation mark, but I refuse to acknowledge it.

I might be mistaken but I recall someone mentioning you are able to hand back a car on 3yr lease after 2yrs. Have I got the wrong end of the stick here, or is it possible (MB business lease)?

If we're being pedantic, it also has a lowercase u.

Expect to hand over a wad of cash as well. That goes for any lease agreement with any funder. Speak to the customer services people and let them know you wish to terminate the agreement early and they'll let you know how much it will be

Thanks, that was what I expected. I just recall the mention of being to hand back after 2 years and wasn't sure if there was anything special about that. Or if i've misread things and the 2 years is irrelevant and its a standard case of negotiate what they want to end early.

You're thinking PCP when you've paid 50% of the interest on the borrowing, normally 2/3 way through.

Thanks for clarifying, that must be it.

Thats of no use to me, but perhaps stuff like this could be added to the wiki? Might be useful to someone, along with for example the information posted on here recently about VWFS and negotiating excess mileage.

You do realise you can get 1.4 S Lines don't you? You also realise that what you've done is specify trim levels as apposed to the faster versions of the normal cars?

This thread is for the best lease car deals available (i refer you back to the title of the thread) so there's no specific focus on any particular make/model/trim etc. Just the best deals in respect to their residual values/price/how much you spend over the full term etc.

Just an idea but why not contribute to this thread by searching for cars YOU want/are interested in (assuming that you are) and posting your finds on here as apposed to the off-chance that another user just happens to find something that you're looking for.

Yup with PCP (or indeed standard HP) you can hand the car back once 50% of the total amount payable has been paid. You can even hand the car back with payment to take you up to the 50% mark. Lease deals are much more expensive to get out of.
