Best Lease Car Deals Available? (Vol 8)

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!
Looks lovely, enjoy. Mines coming next Monday! Same spec actually but I wanted the winter pack!

Hah!Just wait until you've had the heated wheel on for a few times. You won't want to be without one :-)
Hopefully you'll never need the spare!

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.
Sounds promising, ours is due on Tuesday on same terms.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.

I tried it already, it's too hot for me. Unless there's an option sonewhere to choose low/med/high like with the seats (I didn't see one anywhere)?Just wait until you've had the heated wheel on for a few times. You won't want to be without one :-)

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

S-class with Exec Pack was coming up at the top of offers last week, so I don't think it was misprice. Just end of the year stock clearance. I looked up some spec and read a bit about it.Just mucking round atm, however saw this in among the wrangler deals....

can someone answer me a question on working out the percentage rate on a deal. I understand amortising the full amount and working that out as a percentage of P11D value but based on how many years? Looking at 3 or 4 year deals and the percentage comes out near 50%!!
ie a £300 per month on a 9 + 47 would be £2700 + £14100 against a P11D of say 32000 would be 52.5%??
many thanks

Correct but not sure 52.5% is that good for a 4 year lease. Do you really want to tie yourself in for so long?ie a £300 per month on a 9 + 47 would be £2700 + £14100 against a P11D of say 32000 would be 52.5%??

Not really but makes a huge difference in monthly costs. Was mainly looking at 3 year deals so how do you check the 3 year deals to see if they're competitive?DunDunFather said:

There are 3 settings on my V90 ( I presume yours is the same). The settings are on the touch screen console where the heated seats are. You probably have it on 3, which is pretty hot, I generally have it on 1 or 2.It automatically comes on when the temperature drops below 5 degrees c I think.

Typically 2 years 10k miles a year when referenced in these forums, but if you're comparing a deal to another it doesn't really matter as long as it's consistent.ie a £300 per month on a 9 + 47 would be £2700 + £14100 against a P11D of say 32000 would be 52.5%??

I have a spreadsheet that does it based on 2y/10k. The way I do it is to figure out the price per mile first then multiply that by 20000 (10k a year) and divide the whole lot by the value of the car.
In your example assuming it's 9+47 on 10k a year no admin fee:
1. Total cost = £300 a month x 56 months = £16800 (add admin fees here if applicable)
2. Price per mile = £16800 / ((10000 miles a year/12 months to get the miles per month) x 48 months) = 4.2p
Then the comparative % is (4.2p per mile x 20000 miles total term) / £32000 value of the car = 26.25%
Hopefully that makes sense

Hi All,
New here, have been looking for a new lease deal to replace my V90 that goes back in May.
I have nearly hit my mileage limit already and will soon be paying excess mileage so I will probably hand it back early (Santander charge 50% of the remaining balance to do this).
I want something with space for a baby, 2 adults and 2 older kids.
So far I have looked at deals on the Arteon, S90, Skoda Superb and some of the bigger SUVs too (XC90, Toureg and Kodiaq)
Nothing has really jumped out at me.
I really want to keep the convenience of adaptive cruise control and lane assist , almost definitely want Android Auto this time around and Keyless start and BLIS would be nice to have.
I'm not really loyal to a particular manufacturer , although Volvo's seem to be the nicest I have seen so far.
I'm probably going to go for a 2 year lease as full electric vehicles aren't really available at the moment.
Any ideas?
