Best Lease Car Deals Available? (Vol 6)

[MattyD803]

Hi All - Long time lurker, first time poster. I know it's been posted previously, but i've just FTK on what is a decent spec Countryman, originally unearthed via What Car Leasing site:

MINI Countryman Cooper S 'Sport' + 7sp Auto + Nav + Leather + Comfort Pack + Metallic - Delivery & Registration by end of 2018.

10k year
3 + 23
£280p/m

Works out around 23% of £32k RRP, although I did manage to add a couple of minor options.

My build slot has been confirmed as end of Nov, with delivery to Bowker expected 14th Dec.

I've been dealing with Laura Campbell of Bowker MINI in Preston, who has been absolutely fantastic with all my silly queries, uncertainty, changes to profile etc.

Anyway:

So just had my Ateca Lux Quote direct from VWFS 10k PA

3+35 £344.27 a month

[Rogue1979]

Anyone know if the Octavia 2.0tsi 245 vRS is getting a facelift? Got a quote on the DSG Hatch at £283 a month with £1700 down and mileage of 10k a year and it looks a bit cheap.... either that or there is a million of them sitting on an airfield and Skoda need rid?

Does anyone have any idea when Mercedes A35 lease deals will start to appear? They're now available on the Mercedes configurator.

I'm coming to the end of my Golf R lease (mid January) so on the lookout for something similar.

Compared to the competition; Golf R and S3 I don't think they're priced badly? Auto comes as standard unlike the others and the interior is likely a better quality. The seats for a start are much better.

Have tried Select Leasing on the same car who seem to be the main guys quoted on this forum and its £365 for identical car and they want £2200 up front initial rental. Making me think I've got a bit of a deal here, cant find anything about a new 2019 facelift either. Any pointers appreciated here

I doubt they'll be any sensible support for 6 months, MB like to try and make some money when a new model is launched before they start discounting. There will be dealer margin + a token amount at a (semi) educated guess

This was going to be my alternative option instead of the MINI Countryman I opted for, but ultimately I just couldnt justify the 27% rental/OTR ratio for an Octavia, even one with 245bhp.....

Nonetheless, try speaking to a dealer instead for a quote, as my experience was you might be able to negotiate a deal a smidge cheaper than the above, with no fee's. Plus I understand there are number already at the port or just about to arrive that you could have within 2/3 weeks (if thats a requirement)......

You can get "Unsupported PCH" quotes from the configurator. Wouldn't bother though!

I really cannot understand why anyone would do a personal lease from an MB dealer.

I popped in to my local MB dealer to try and check out a big worry I've had with the spec on my car (the confusion and misinformation on that at dealer level was worrying and almost saw me cancel my order until I got hold of someone at the supplying dealer who knew (like Fast Bug) what they were on about. But that's another story.

While I was there the fleet manager chap tried to see if he could do me a deal in the event that I had to cancel my existing order with ALD. He came back to me with a price almost £200 a month more expensive (than my £420) for the same 3+35 15k profile! That didn't include the designo paint option either!

My local MB dealer came in about 50% more expensive when I was ordering my CLK. They made no attempt to try and get close and pretty much laughed when I approached them. Ironic as the funder was MBFS, the paperwork was MB Retail and the delivery driver brought it straight from the port at Grimsby.

On my previous lease the Audi dealer was within £5pm of the broker so got my business.

In the meantime this lack of lease deals is getting rather depressing. I might have to look at a PCP instead, one or two deals on those.

That isn't too good, they were under £400 a few weeks back.

Hi Rougue, yeah there is a new one coming out for 2019 i believe, probably explains the low rentals.

But definitely not on a 3+ profile!
