Four year lease though! You're losing one of the big benefits of leasing right there: flexibility.
How does Leasing have flexibility. That is the one negative to it over PCP and why some would rather pay the extra in a PCP to have flexibility.I get the four year lease issue though. Taking something inflexible over two years isnt really an issue but 4 is a long time to be permanently tied in unless you are not the type who gets tempted by newer shiny things
Had various quotes back from Mercedes Perth on the A Class for 15k a year. All with 3 months upfront. Not a lot of difference between 2 and 3 years really apart from the effect of the deposit being spread over more months.
2 Years
£317.31 With No Maintenance (10.2p excess)
£339.01 With Maintenance (11.1p excess)
£367.67 With Maintenance + Tyres (13.2p excess)
3 Years
£312.18 With No Maintenance (10.5p excess)
£340.59 With Maintenance (12p excess)
£369.97 With Maintenance + Tyres (14.4p excess)
I think the OP for this deal stated they got a price of £277.91 3+35 with maintenance. Which means it doesn’t really make a huge difference if you buy the mileage up front or not (less than £50).
Just trying to decide whether I cancel my Golf R Estate order as the A Class would save me about £1,850 over 2 years.
Sorry to blabber on. Anyone have an opinion?

Anyone here picked up the Alfa Romeo Giulia veloce deal circa Dec 2017? Thoroughly enjoying the car . Still have 10 months or so until my lease is up and am thinking about what to do next year. Not many other cars take my fancy and the QV may be a little out of reach at present. How are Alfa / leasys with lease extensions?
Leasys are generally pretty easy. I got a 6 mo the extension on a Grand Cherokee no problem with the mileage increase prorated.I've got the Giulia too, don't know what to replace it with. A work colleague recently got a 6 Series GT and I have to be honest and say the comfort and smoothness is a little envious.
On the other end the I-Pace deal last year was pretty good and maybe the Model 3. Wait and see I guess, probably order around end Aug/Sep to grab a deal

Flexibility in terms of time, because with PCH, a 2 or 3 year term is common. PCP is a loan that you're servicing for between 3 to 6 years.Perhaps also you could consider the inflexibility of PCP from the financial point of view, as its implied that you're paying the APR% that the dealer is offering, and you can't haggle on that. If you could afford to buy a new car, you wouldn't be striding into a dealership and then asking for a loan...
Just a heads up for the couple of people waiting for their 124 Spiders from Mangoletsi.
I picked mine up at the end of last year but should have given the car a proper check over. The rear bumper looks like it touched something.
There’s also a bit or corrosion on the metal work in the boot.
Mangoletsi printed the wrong reg plate for the car. Strangely the insurance worked with the wrong reg plate for an Abarth 124 but I realised when my local abarth garage said the car didn’t exist.
I got them to send me new plates which I had to drill and put on myself. Surprise surprise, radio silence from Mangoletsi when I asked to be reimbursed £26 for the admin fee of the insurance reg change. A bit disappointing if they want good customer retention.

Rather than derail the thread on the battles between PCP, PCH and whether it means you can actually afford a car if you dont pay for it in cold hard cash I will leave it there.Perhaps also you could consider the inflexibility of PCP from the financial point of view, as its implied that you're paying the APR% that the dealer is offering, and you can't haggle on that.

However PCP and PCH have the same flexibility in time as you can agree varying contract lengths - it just impacts the cost. Generally PCH is cheaper - though not always, but you cannot early terminate in the way you could a PCP (whether through VT, or early settlement) and although some companies allow the purchase post PCH, it is more common on PCP.
Key thing should always be to understand all, and do which fits, which normally will be the one that allows the smaller cost.
My point of view, the wife has a PCH - she is not bothered about keeping a car a long time, my mind changes, so I often PCP as I can get out earlier if I wish (obviously taking the hit when i do).

... which seems good over 4 years ...
Four year lease though! You're losing one of the big benefits of leasing right there: flexibility.I read plenty of posts on this thread that say not having a warranty is a massive risk, but then I also read that as you are 'buying a service' from the leasing company, any issues whatsoever should be sorted out between the leasing co. and the servicing garage.
Which is correct?

I'm almost tempted to go with another Giulia to be fair.... I'm hoping the QVs on the second hand market drop a little more on the next year or so.I've got the Giulia too, don't know what to replace it with.

And your brilliant idea was to stop sharing the insight and knowledge. Thanks for your 5 months of insight into our multi year thread, but questions do need answering so that more people understand

If you can educate me on why a fixed term deal which is very difficult to get out of offers more flexibility I would love to know. May save me some moneyEdited by anonymous-user on Friday 19th April 22:53
