Is it usually fairly straightforward to get a lease extended for a year? Would I expect my monthly payment to go up or down?
Depends on the financer, car, initial deposit, miles, depreciation etc etc.

I've had 2 cars with ALD automotive, not interested in extending. 1 with lex and 1 with vwfs extended no probs. One price went up one went down.

Apologies for resorting to a question instead of posting a deal...

Has anyone seen a current deal on an Abarth 124 manual? Scratching my head looking for the other half, having just tried Mangoletsi for the deals posted on here. They only have automatics remaining and quoted 9 months to get a manual. Something in the similar price bracket (£5700 over 2 years) would be ideal.

Arnold Clark in Scotland have some stock manual cars heavily discounted. Not leasing deal but could be decent purchase for cash. Check their used website https://www.arnoldclark.com/used-cars/abarth/124-s...

They will usually recalculate the whole lease with the info they have now.
It depends on how optimistic the initial forecast of depreciation was, and how the forecast of residuals look now.
They will try to make a profit on the whole lease, so if they're behind after two years, because values have tanked and they were optimistic, then you're going to be making up the shortfall in the third year.
It's a no lose gamble for them really, if their pants are already round their ankles then it will now be in their financial forecasts, but you're now there to ask if they want them pulling up again!
If they're ahead, they're probably going to be a bit more cagey - and will most likely only offer on the same terms you paid it on the first two years, why wouldn't you carry on, you can afford it.

Ignore this post if you're only after deals.

Test drove a V60 yesterday, they didn't have a petrol or a momentum (only had one model, a D4 Inscription Pro), it felt lethargic, very heavy, comfortable, but ultimately dissatisfying. There's no "Sport" button or flappy paddles to help you tell the car you want to pull away quickly, you have to wait for kick down.

Also don't think i could get on with an all-touch-screen interface, you can't even turn the fans up or down without navigating a menu, which means spending more time than I'd like looking at a screen when I'm meant to be driving (not exactly in fitting with Volvo's safety rep imo). And finally, I checked the boot capacity figures and the boot is smaller than my octy hatch. Yes that's only up to the liner, but with the slopey roof, I don't think it'd increase a huge deal without that fitted.

Think it's back to the drawing board for me, hope the quotes to extend my octy come back low... Shame because they really are a good deal.

You can press a button on the steering wheel and tell it to adjust the fan.

My Focus was from a Ford dealer but it's an ALD lease and they wouldn't entertain an extension apart from entering me into an informal rental agreement which was nearly 450 quid a month..... fk that.

Mines a Ford Fiesta sourced through ALD Automotive so I guess I'll be out of luck, cost of the lease over 2 years has been £3800 and the car retails for £18k, nothing even comes close these days

Yeah the guy doing the test-drive wasn't exactly hugely helpful, he told me to come whenever, and then when I turned up he said the product expert was in the middle of a handover and he'd have to show me the car. He said he had an XC60 but didn't really know how the V60 worked beyond the basic so I don't think he'd been there long...

Yeh that's the one, they had some crazy deals on them 2 years ago, nothing decent since it seems

Looking for a Peugeot 3008 1.5 diesel auto GT line premium. Best I can find is £324 on a 1+17 8000 miles, which is available at most dealers with no fees and free metallic. Heavy discounts at Drive the deal, but PCP still works out more than PCH. Delivery Nov. Anyone seen a better offer? Would consider a lower trim.

Just had a quote to extend a golf R from December for 12 months. Quote is £80 MORE on top a month. Same mileage. With Alphabet.

I’d be interested in that. Which dealers have quoted this and any indication of lead time? Noticed with cars2vans.com its £267 a month on those terms at 5000 miles so might be worth paying excess?

I've just received a quote from cars2vans £316 On 1+17 8000. Sept build, Oct delivery. £298 fees make it more than the quote from Robins and Day. All Peugeot dealers say late Nov on automatics, better deals and quicker delivery on manuals.

Anyone seen any deals cheaper on Sportage 2 spec or above £279, CX5 £265 or similar?

I originally ordered a 3008 GT Line Premium 1.2 manual petrol for £288 on a 1+35 but Peugeot cancelled all the petrols (!!) so he's doing the GT Line Premium diesel for the same price. Metallic included. No idea if this is goodwill (they still need to make some money) but I'm happy with the price.

It's worth dropping him an email or call to see what he can do.

Does anyone know what happens to stock cars that are still available after the end of the quarter but had to be delivered by end Sept?

I’ve enquired about a couple of cars recently which aren’t advertised as stock but are and been told that I would need to take delivery by end of Sept.

Don’t need car till Dec and wondered whether these cars will be offered on cheaper deals in Q4 if the brokers are stuck with them?
