Best Lease Car Deals Available? (Vol 4)

[The Chemist]

I'm about to enter the last few months of my Audi A6 "black edition" lease. While the interiors and tech is really dated v modern cars I really love the car and the exterior looks. This Jag xf deal looks really tempting

Can someone advise the best level of Gap insurance cover for a leased car worth £30,000 with 23 monthly repayments of £215. Don't quite follow what the Ala website states and I'm sure it is pushing you towards a higher/unnecessary level of cover

Do I just need to select an amount that covers my total monthly payments, £5,000? Or is there a bit more to it than that?

In short, yes plus your deposit, if any. Call ala to discuss, they will explain it all

It's no looker, but it's a top of the range Golf, not something exotic from Italy. A lot harder to make an Estate look sexy & not sure any exist except perhaps the new Panamera of that type of Shooting Brake bodystyle.

That said, i'm totally blown away by mine, but it's not my primary car & i only jumped onto one due to the low Lease cost.

RS6 is a good looking estate.

I was told the finance was approved. But I don’t have the order confirmation yet.

[Clyde_05]

From previous experience order numbers might take a few weeks to come through. Nothing to worry about. If you have confirmation the order has gone through then just be a little patient.

I have my proposal form from Blue Chilli for the A6 S-Line avant, have said they'll honour price as long as my forms are in first thing Monday morning. Problem is I went and sat in one again today. Certainly feels luxurious inside, but tech/infotainment wise seems old fashioned compared to the A4 avant I'm in now. Having second thoughts. Maybe should just save a bit of money and get another A4, I like the standard tech with it; carplay, colour driver display, Audi connect etc, all of which are optional extras on A6. Although A4 would be a 1.4 manual, I'm only doing 7k miles pa with majority town commute, so engine not actually v important. I hate decisions!!

Hi everyone! Just looking into a new business lease with a budget of <£300/pcm and stumbled on what I think is a bit of a crazy deal. Sadly, it doesn't suit me but it might be of interest to some of you...

I've not posted on here before but hopefully this will work...

Volvo s90 R-Design 2L diesel auto, 18 month contract @ 8000 miles/yr for £215.18/month + VAT

For comparison it was £6.5k for 5k.

It's not great, 9+17 profile means it comes out at £373 a month inc VAT. Unless you really must have the 18 month duration there are two year leases which are a lot cheaper.

ahm what was your quote on the A6 Avant by the way?

£252.78, 3+23, 8k pa, +£360 fees.

[totalfootball74]

I've the same dilemma.

I don't need a car the size of an A6, the A4 is adequate.

Will a better deal come up on let's say a A4 1.4 S Line S Tronic that I can order direct without any fees? Who's to say? Decisions Decisions...

DSG is also a heavily misunderstood technology. I regard my Golf as a manual car with the ability to be switch to auto if I'm tired or can't be bothered. Without thinking I pull into D and knock over to manual every time I pull off. From there, every single gear change up and down is executed by me when I choose using the paddles (even in day to day driving). I'm in the right gear for every roundabout, junction or corner I approach because I planned and selected that gear just as I would with a full manual. I drive this way 95%+ of the time and rarely let the gearbox run the show. It's also worth noting that I view paddle extensions as essential to get the most enjoyment out of manual-mode DSG

Well either i misunderstand DSG, or i have a different view........

To me DSGs are automatics with buttons on the steering wheel. I find them rather dull to use. You also dont need a manual driving licence which says a lot.

My bet is you find them dull because you either drive in D all the time or just mash the buttons and wonder why it reverts to take control after a while (hint: it's not in full manual). Left in D or S mode, a DSG is as boring as any other automatic gearbox, even good ones like the 8sp ZF. Unless it's a Rolls, which pulls information from sat nav to make predictions, no auto knows what's happening ahead and for that reason will always seem boring and dim-witted compared to when a human makes all the section decisions.

Nope, I found it dull because of the lack of clutch pedal. Thats why I find all automatics dull. Pushing buttons does nothing for me. But hey each to their own.
