Really torn now what to do I have a arteon elegance 1.5tsi evo model on order with option to cancel because of delays, the merc a class 250 amg premium deal !

Really unsure where to keep arteon deal.or.get the a class now am I right in saying both are the same engine size ? obv the a class is smaller.has more Bhp?

struggling with what to do.now a class.interior looks better than the arteon

what car would you go for.out of the two ?
I’m having / had the same dilemma though I have the 2.0 TSI on order. Been tracking the A class offer for a couple of weeks, even filled in the paperwork but I’ve stuck with the Arteon.

The A class does have a nicer interior and great tech but to me is a bit boring on the outside. The back seats aren’t great in the A class so if you need the room it’s an easy decision.

How much are Mangoletsi paying you to advertise for them?
Did you read what I posted? I’m not exactly putting them in a great light am I haha?
They printed the wrong reg plate, ignore my emails and the car came with damage. I’m just warning others to be more careful than I was.

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
Have you gone through the handback process with Leasys at the end of a lease yet by any chance? I have a Range Rover Velar from them and the paint quality is very poor. New scratches appear out of nowhere almost weekly. Bit concerned the state it will be in at the end.

I am confused by the warranty situation.

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?
The lease holder (I.e. you) are responsible for maintenance. So, if it breaks outside of the OEM warranty period and the engine blows up, the lease company will still be expecting a working car returned at the end of the term.

Adding ‘maintenance’ to the lease won’t help here, that will only cover routine servicing (and sometimes some specified consumables).

Not sure if it’s possible to buy OEM warranty extensions for leased cars. I guess it is, same as for other finance methods.

Hi All,
Happy Easter, looking for a cheap 2nd car with great capacity and excellent mileage. I thought of a hybrid and this came up. Anyone have one or can comment on the deal

I'd go with the Merc. Golf is aging inside now

"Applicable to all new A-Class Hatchback models incl. A 35 AMG (excludes old model S 176 A-Class) registered between 01.04.19 – 30.06.19 (inclusive). Vehicles must be secured on an MBFS finance contract to be eligible. Applies to all private retail and small fleet (1-24 units) customers only."

Does the last sentence of the above quote not mean the free servicing offer only applies to PCP purchase or business lease customers only? I read it as excluding personal leases.
I read the ‘retail’ but as meaning you have to bought through a dealer.

XC90 D5 Momentum 10k / 1 + 35 £519 seems fairly decent.

Fleet prices
Did you bite? I am considering the XC90 also. Anyone else think this is a good price?

Ask Santander for a quote, they’re doing the inscription for £599 on a 1+17, I expect the Momentum to be a bit cheaper

Struggling to even get a reply with the a250 deal sent me one quote when I had asked for 3 different ones, the merc is more modern inside and more goodies but I agree it's pretty boring on outside I like the arteon as it looks better !

going to have a think over the rest of the weekend then make my.mind up what I think will suit me best.

Thanks very much for the confirmation - on that basis, anything longer than three years would seem madness unless the lease is on a Kia with a seven year warranty!
