Was this the Avant?

If so, i'd be interested to know the details too please....

Those deals were from 18 months ago. I was told it was a pricing error, however those who put their forms in early had the deals honoured.

Audi ran a campaign on the S4s for well over 12 months so no pricing error. This was back in 2017/2018. Mine is due back in March.

Niiiice.
Looks a lot more aggressive than a 420i. I thought they would look the same, except for perhaps an extra exhaust outlet

Thank you mate. They do actually look the same, if they have the M Sport Plus pack they come with all the black accents and 19” wheels. Also the adaptive lights have a more aggressive look than the standard lights.

i hadn't really twigged until i saw that photo that BMW had started doing a 4-series GC that basically just looks like a 3-series saloon except slightly nicer! How different are they in reality now you've got one?

I was told by my broker it was a pricing error. I jumped on the deal on the Friday and it was pulled on the following Tuesday I think. Price increased by a couple of hundred if I remember correctly.

Yes Octopus Go is there or there abouts comparative to the cheapest on day rates. A lot of people expect to be stung for higher rate like the old E7 tariffs.

Their standing charge is bit higher at 25p/day (I pay about 11.5p with EON) so about an extra £40/year.
The free 8000 miles worth is only when you take a vehicle from their lease scheme. It's not just for anyone switching to Octopus GO. There's the £50 referral credit though

I've placed an order for a demo request from my employer, hopefully for the N-Connecta, to check it out. Got a trip to London on Thursday so that would be ideal if they can arrange it for then.

I picked up the LEAF this morning, it was fully charged and was showing 130 miles of range.
I've driven it 50 miles and it's now on 51% showing 75 miles of range.
Unfortunately I can't charge at work without being registered, a colleague said I could use his slot but he doesn't seem to have turned up today.
I'm going to pop into town at lunchtime and try and use a quick charger.
ePedal is interesting, took a few minutes to get used to but I think I could drive with it most of the time.
I also found turning the heating off made the range drop a lot slower, it didn't help that the heating was turned up to 30c when I picked it up!

The guess-o-meter on the Leaf is not the best. If you count on 3.5 miles per kWh then that should see you safe with a small buffer.

If you need lessons ( you clearly do - your parking is a bloody abomination) on how to park the thing between the white lines.... just ask on GG.

It's a BMW. They can be parked anywhere 😀

That offer is only for people who currently have a contract with Audi or had one in the last 12 months

The 4GC is different from the run of the mill 3 series in that the hatch is of course very useful to some people. The doors are frame less, unlike the conventional 3. The rear quarter looks can tend to be a marmite thing - some say that it looks like they have a big @rse. Can't disagree. When the F30 series was in production, the 4GC (F36) tended to have a better standard spec, but were more expensive!
I love mine!

Sorry to clog up the forum with another NHS deal question!

My wife's a nurse and nhsfleetsolutions do supply some deals to her trust. Does she formally need to be doing "business miles" to get the cars. She would just be using it for commuting.

No, no need to do business miles at all.

Cheers.

You can lease direct from dealers, I got my audi s4 from audi for £280 a month 2k down, 8k a year

Just want to add I got a lease by inquiring at a main dealer recently that was cheaper than the cheapest provider on the LeaseLoco comparison site, with some extras.

Always worth checking with dealerships before you go with a third-party.

[mackie1]

I generally will give a local deal a chance to match a deal but they've never managed to get close. Luck of the draw I guess. On the 840i front they literally said "bite their hand off!".

Definitely. My deal on the Volvo worked out at 16% direct from a dealer. The problems start now when trying to replace it! :-((

[James-kdlil]

Can anyone point me in the direction of a cheap, economical family SUV deal with 5k (plus decent excess mileage rate) or 8k mileage.? Found VAUXHALL GRANDLAND X 1.2 SE on jet vehicle finance , 24 months, £129.98 pm inc, £1169.86 deposit , £195 admin. Reviews aren't great but mpg seems good and basic kit on SE seems reasonable. I've seen the Kia Xceed deals but not keen on the poo colour or wheels of the 2 which all the deals seem to offer. Any other suggestions or better deal than above on the grandad, sorry grandland?
