Best Lease Car Deals Available? (Vol 8)

[Rapido1]

Quick question for the learned leasers if you don’t mind. Does anyone know if you can pay the rest of your monthly payments off in one go? Currently 6 months into a 2 year deal. I’ll obviously enquire with the lenders tomorrow but just wanted to know if anyone had done It before?

Why would you want to do that? Why not just put the money in a separate account and change the DD to that account.

What would be good and excellent % for 3 and 4 year leases at 10k miles?

I would personally just pro rata it so below 37.5% as an ok deal over 3 years but wouldn’t bother with a 4 year lease as most have no warranty (except Toyota, Kia and Hyundai). Also 4 years is a long time to be tied into a PCH lease deal, if personal circumstances changed during this time you are liable for between 50% & 100% remaining payments (depending on finance provider). Dare I say it - a PCP may be better for longer deals.

Our C5 Aircross arrived on Friday. I’ve done a few miles in it over the past couple of days before handing it over to the wife for family duties, just to quality check of course.

Positives: price...£248 amortised for 24m/10k is brilliant, ride on wacky Citroen suspension is amazing, tech is extensive and seems to work (for now) and 180bhp petrol turbo mates well with the auto box. Fits three kids seats across the back. There is nothing sporting about it at all, but for wafting around it is glorious.

Negatives: steering is as light as light can be with zero feel. Volcano Red is more orange than we thought. Middle rear could seemingly have been isofix but for some reason is not.

Great family car.

It’s not a problem, only a few won’t quote.
Just go on any comparison website, and tick owner and registered keeper as private leased. You will get most of the usual companies quoting at the same price as normal

I had the previous generation not long after release (07 plate). Bought new as sold back to the supplying dealer at 7mths old. I managed to jetwash the paint off the drivers passenger door with a jetwash and Lance that couldn't even clean moss of a paving slab. Build and for/finish was awful for a £40kish car - suppose the saving grace here is that you get to hand it back lol

oh dear. You definitely don’t expect that at this price range of car. Hmmm being part of the Fiat/Chrysler group may explain that Hopefully standards are a lot higher now (12 years later) and will at least be good for the 2 years

I imagine a lot of people don't even think about this and declare themselves as owner & RK.

One thing to watch is that it's common that Driving Other Cars (DOC) isn't included.

Hey up, could you say who these are with please? I am looking at the same car at the moment but best I've seen is about £275 a month all in.

[Hitch]

Ours was with Smart Leasing. 10k is pa so 20k miles all in. Fee was £300. I doubt you'd get anything as big, with a decently powered engine and as much tech for less than £275 so probably still a good deal.

Been having a crack at screen scraping from leasing.com. Hope to get it into a format that will run daily and compare top 100 pages to yesterday to see movement/new deals. The database design/loading/query doesnt bother me but screen scraping is the pain, looking for the right (ie free/cheap/easy GUI tool) - anyone else doing similar?

Just mucking round atm, however saw this in among the wrangler deals....

Mercedes-Benz S Class Diesel Saloon
S350d L AMG Line Executive 4dr 9G-Tronic
10k pa, 9+23
£4,104 deposit and £456pm, £300 fee
£14,891.99 total, in stock

Works out as 18.2% list. Probably be a misprice as as £6k cheaper than next over the term but says instock so worth chasing

Any decent Hatch/Hot hatch 12 month deals around (A Class, A3, 1 Series)? Or generally speaking is it better to go 24 months to get better deals?

[DunDunFather]

Got my S60 on Friday, the picture below doesn't do it justice.



Very smooth process with Santander Leasing, they do all the paperwork then order the car at your local dealer (for me it was Waylands Reading who have also been excellent and gave me the whole "new car" experience) who do the handover for you. As a new leaser all is good, I've already ordered car seat protectors and kick mats to stop any damage from child seats and young kids

Only slight miff is I'm paying £16 a month over the headline £229 a month deal with no extras for a heated steering wheel and a spare tyre - the heated steering wheel in particular I'm never going to use. Still at 15% it's a complete bargain, and I am glad I took it over the 4 Series GC. However I am sceptical if anyone did get a £229 one with no extras as I've heard nothing - maybe there were none and it was used as a marketing tactic ...

Thanks again to itsmattyjayy for cancelling!

A 12 month lease on a hot hatch would probably be very costly as you are covering the maximum drop in depreciation. What figures have you found so far?
