Best Lease Car Deals Available? (Vol 7)

[scot_aln]

On all of these deals with so many RRPs being a figment of imagination are there any calculations that offer a better comparison? Or is % of rrp as good as it gets.

2020 (facelifted) Jaguar XE 2.0 Petrol 250hp Auto R-Dynamic S

https://www.v4b.co.uk/car-leasing/jaguar/xe_saloon...

Absolute steal of a price. There are 2 left in stock so I believe, only in red.

I almost FTK this morning but I'd only really settle for the SE or HSE, the alloys on the S aren't that great either, but everything else about it is a bargain.

Just cancelled my A250 order with Arnold Clark and FTK on this. Might be worth someone with December estimation dates trying to speak to Nicky at AC to see if you can get my earlier slot.

For the Jaguar XE R-Dynamic P250 works out the following:
1+23
£355 per month inc VAT
£355 initial rental
8,000 miles per year, I currently average 5 so this is fine.

Car comes with upgraded paint, tinted windows and heated seats which are usually extra.

Hoping to see it on the drive in the next 3 weeks.

I've ordered with Nicky as well.

Why did you cancel, just the long lead time?

Quick question for anyone that has leased a VW. My wife has a Tiguan due for return soon with VWFS. Two of the alloys are significantly scuffed and has been quoted £140 per wheel to repair at an independent garage.

Question - has anyone that has returned a car with scuffed alloys been quoted the VW fix price per wheel? If it is cheaper then will just pay the charge when returning the instead of repairing beforehand.

Thanks in advance for any guidance.

Leave them as they are - £36 p/wheel (if you get charged)

Is this inline with BVRLA wear and tear guidelines? (As my BMW is going back in the next two weeks with curbed wheels)

Yeah I just couldn’t find a temporary replacement vehicle for the 7-8 week delay on my order. Any extension to my current mercedes would require me to pay for Service B which is £££.

The Jag is just as quick, decently specced, bit rarer on the roads and will be here almost 2 months earlier.

What size wheels are on the Jag as standard? Has that edition got decent ones?

18”. I wouldn’t pick them if I had the choice, but they’ll do. I wasn’t a huge fan of the ones on my A-Class order either.

That's not bad. I remember the XF R-Sport deals a while back had 17s as standard. They were horrific!

I also saw a Velar on boggo wheels the other day, awful.

I've been offered (with an employee ambassador discount I must add) a Fiesta ST-2 3 door on PCP, standard everything and base red paint, at 0 deposit, 235 a month, 12,000 miles 38 months.

I think this is a cracking offer - is there any reason not to do it?!

Yep, you can get the same car for almost the same monthlies on a PCP through a broker (e.g. Drive The Deal) and a PCP is much more flexible.

I got a XF R- Sport last year & 18”s came as standard. They’re OK.

For £214 / month they’re fantastic!!

[Mcflurry1992]

Yeah it is on a PCP, the fiesta that is.

[Gunslinger18]

Just phoned Arnold Clark direct to see if they had anything going.
Some of the quotes they sent are astronomically high!

Just spoken with BCA about collecting my VWFS vehicle and they tell me it will be an inspection and collection , someone mentioned on here previously that they used to inspect and give you a few days to out things right before coming to collect the vehicle. Anyhow overall the vehicle is in very good condition and I would struggle looking at fair wear and tear where they would pull me, tyres all good, no dents etc. However on the weekend whilst cleaning the vehicle I noticed a very small chip on the windscreen, no more than 1mm across and less than 1mm deep, it's just like a nick on the glass, it's out of drivers line of sight, how picky are they with these, it will cost me £10 to get it done via AutoGlass but it is so small if I was not returning the vehicle I would never get it done, only noticed when cleaning, could of been there weeks. Don't want to get stung so what the chances from experience of inspections / collections on here.

My Tiguan had it's inspection & collection done today by BCA. They guy was really pleasant and let me off with the dent on the bonnet (stonechip with paint broken), the car had a few light scratches on the top of the rear bumper from the dog & wheelchair and light scrape on front bumper/plastic light cover that he never even mentioned. I was half expecting a couple of hundred quid so I am well pleased.

Also interested to hear if this varies for the size of wheels, ie is an 18 inch charged the same as a 21 inch?

Assuming the repair is a 'free insurance' repair job, then tread carefully. I have been clobbered with this when I had a 'free' repair done on a windscreen chip. It didn't cost me a bean, but my insurance then went up at renewal for the next 5 years as it still goes on your insurance record as a claim. It would have been cheaper for me to just replace the whole windscreen at my cost in the long run.
