Just got off the phone with VWFS and the admin lady there said it doesn't need to be a main dealer servicing it! Hoping she's not mistaken on that one but logged the time of the call just in case they kick up a fuss.
Got very lucky with that deal as they'd all run out but managed to pick up a cancelled order from my local dealer!
I’ve only done 14,000 Miles. Due back in May.
Could you get something in writing from them. I don’t trust they would let you take it to Halfords !
Wow! How many miles have you done in it out of interest?

Simple question: where to find leases on used cars (1 year old), it seems tough to find.
Doubt you'll get any decent deals on used cars. The best lease deals all have the benefit of manufacturer support - basically the manufacturers are propping up the deal by giving the suppliers a bonus for shifting a certain number of units (as an example). This support won't exist with used cars.j4ck100 said:
Often very poor value for money on used cars. Better with PCP or even better getting a cheap loan and buying outright.
You are right, I have not seen anything interesting and no one is really advertising that so it is probably not worth it for the dealers... Which I do not understand yet why (probably because PCP makes more money for them) Dazzling844 said:
It is weird to think they'd let any fred in a shed service it isn't it. Wonder what the rules are if I go and look at the contract and it says must be main dealer but then we ask on the phone and they say no it doesn't? Sounds like a get out of jail free card eh.

A car had generally paid for itself in terms of r&d by the time it has a mid life facelift. So older models can have lots of support thrown at it. A new model still has to recoup these costs so discounts will usually be lower on new models. Also a new model is more desirable so doesn't need to be discounted so heavily to get units moving.
There are the odd exceptions with discounting new models heavily, but that's how most manufacturers work.
not sure i agree with that. the R&D costs are sunk costs. Once the vehicle is in production the OEM will throw support at whatever they feel will be best for business, be that for higher bottom line profits or for operational/capacity reasons, probably some others too. They aren't going to keep flogging a dead horse to recoup R&D money that was sunk years ago. There are the odd exceptions with discounting new models heavily, but that's how most manufacturers work.

True it makes sense. So I guess, once the lease is done for example on a 24-month, they are sold in the dealers' shops. Jag_NE said:

Discounts improve year on year generally speaking as the car recoups it's costs, a new model usually has a far better residual value than it's outgoing counterpart, so the level of discount required is lower than the previous model would require to get to a similar monthly cost. There are exceptions such as VAG who will choose to punt a load of money behind certain new products such a Golf R, petrol A4 etc to get them moving
Just pummelled the grapefruit on the Leon Cupra 300 Estate.
Wasn't necessarily what I was looking for, but just can't get over how good a deal it is and I can get June delivery to match my current car going back. They said delivery could be sooner but they're quoting "worst case scenario 20-22 weeks.- if it comes earlier then its no problem to hold it".

Been speaking to Carly myself today and I think I'm going to pull the trigger on the same deal tomorrow, mine works out at £6580 all in for the same package on 6+23, so not a huge difference in the overall cost.Wasn't necessarily what I was looking for, but just can't get over how good a deal it is and I can get June delivery to match my current car going back.
