[jdizz]

Does the 20% "rule" apply to 2 year deals only or all contract lengths?

Er, yeah. Like all EV.

And it's 0% from 6 April if the car is registered on or after that.

Whats entity does your business trade as? Sole trader, partnership or LTD company (if you don’t mind me asking? Ignore if you do)

I'm looking at salary sacrifice with my employer but pretty sure it needs to be a Ltd co.

I'd be all over that if I could, but I don't know an answer to your question about ownership / loyalty scheme. RGW are knocking these out too, but more expensive (though still worth a look) as not the loyalty scheme.

https://rgwcontracts.co.uk/car-leasing/audi/a4-sal...

To be eligible for the Audi loyalty scheme you need to have a current Audi lease financed through Audi Finance/VWFS. They won't accept you if you have another brand of vehicle (Seat, VW etc) financed through VWFS which is annoying because I want one at loyalty prices! My VW lease through VWFS is current and my vehicle is due back 18th March so the A4 would be a good replacement.

Thanks for clarifying. My V60 from Santander is due back end May but currently weighing up ending that early to pick up something else before April but not sure if worth doing as I can extend the V60 at the same cost by 28 days - which means ending a cheap deal 3 months early. This A4 deal looks value to me, even without the Audi loyalty thing - but it's difficult to pay more than someone else could potentially do right now!

Ah ok, thanks for clearing that up! Annoying but seems fair enough - might see what RGW can do to get near it (anyone know if they are reliable?)... cheers @rich

I speak to one of the directors called Graham, but the prices never come back as quoted on their website! They upped their admin fee to £360 on the Audi deals which is annoying! I've seen a few previous posts from people who say they are not the quickest with paperwork.

Lol 2 years 10k miles pa only. If find a car around 20% over 3 years though please let us all know. Just need to pro rata deals really to see how compare over different contract lengths.

Does anyone what the criteria for the Audi loyalty scheme are? I personally dont have an audi but have immediate family members who do through Audi directly (on pcp though)

Got an email about this deal that rather tickled my trout:

https://www.contractcars.com/car-leasing/deal/audi...

besides the £600 admin fee its an amazing deal on a 3+23 with 10k miles for only £261.73....(it is right?)

You have to currently have an Audi on finance through VW Financial Services (VWFS) or have had one on fiance via VWFS in the last 12 months.

The loyalty programme is via brokers and main dealers. They use the registration of the vehicle to confirm eligibility.

It also works that you can jump from an Audi to another Audi, but not from an Audi to another marque in the VW brand stable. Likewise, the VW version is VW to VW and not jump from a VW to a Seat or Audi, etc.

Probably worth posting this again due to the amount of new users on here.

There’s a sticky leasing FAQ thread just up the page from this one

Have you tried stoneacre? I've got a white 3 model maintained 1+23 £197 a month free delivery to Cumbria

For those living in Scotland (Aberdeen) do you normally get hit by delivery charges? I want to go for a KIA Exceed lease but the delivery on it is £250 + VAT. Makes the deal not so good when this charge is added on.

Kia Xceed 3 - (Quote without Scotland delivery)
3+23 £194 incl VAT (maintained with metallic paint)

Edited by Tino G on Monday 17th February 10:57

Thanks - I gave them a call and got a quote. They quoted £218.94 Incl VAT, 1 + 23, 8K miles, maintained for the 1.0L Xceed 3 with metallic paint. Wondering who you spoke to at Stoneacre to get your deal?

I'm currently looking for a lease deal on a Peugeot 3008 (the Mrs has her heart set on one!) and I found a deal on Leasing.com via Robin Day Peugeot of which I sent an enquiry on.

I am completely new to leasing so please excuse any ignorance on my part!

The deal shown was for a Personal lease but when I got a response from Robin Day they said to qualify for the advertised deal I would need to meet one of the following:

"To qualify for our personal contract hire rates the individual must meet one of the following criteria:
- Directors taking vehicles personally
- Sole Traders
- Employees who are paid for business use of a personal vehicle"

They told me as I don't meet any of the above criteria the rates will be slightly higher!

Is this common across all personal leasing and I'm not going to get the deals as advertised or something that is more common to dealerships leases only?
I was disappointed to say the least and it felt misleading to me but as said I'm a complete noob to leasing so not sure what is the norm.

I emailed them about a deal a couple of weeks ago

Heard absolutely nothing back relative to this but am now irritatingly on their spam mailing list, which I didn't consent to

Cheers

It was misleading advertising. Don't forget to read FAQ if you're new to leasing: https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&...

Thank you for confirming, a shame my first experience was not a great one. I have indeed read the FAQ and very helpful it is too!
I've inquired with another broker and I'm quite happy with the quote I've received back on a 3 year lease, just need to decide whether to go with maintained or un-maintained!

[HipHopapotamus]

Anyone leased a Kia? If so did you manage to only service once or should I just pay the extra for maintenance. Seems to be £319 for 2 services or I’m £15 per month for maintained. It’s only a 2 year deal. Cheers for any advice

I haven’t serviced my Arona yet as it’s long life, but spoilt by that

Return car month or so early & you don’t require the second service

It is not common, and Robin Day Peugeot should not be doing this.I would enquire about the cost of your choice of car on a business lease deal.

Then on the same terms, i.e. length of lease, mileage etc. they should by law, only be able to add on the vat, and not put any stipulations on who

can and cannot have a personal deal.

I have had a quick look on Leasing.com and the personal deal for the 3008 with Robin Day Peugeot does not list any terms or stipulations in the ad.

You may want to point this out to the dealership, and the fact that it is illegal to put stipulations as you state above on a personal deal, but good luck as

they may just ignore you.

Print the deal off as it reads in the ad, and shop around at other Pug dealers asking them to match.......with no stipulations.

Or even better... ensure the first service is a few weeks late so it’s not overdue when u hand back the keys.

Helloo Lease Hunters,
I signed up for a lease deal at the start of the week only to see the prices be reduced when I was browsing tonight. Specification wise they look to be the same. The colour I was after was more expensive but now appears to be cheaper than the colour I signed up to.

Is it a case of tough luck or possible chance of them reducing the price or changing the car?

I’ve emailed but won’t hear until tomorrow. Just wondered if anyone had experience to help me sleep tonight. Difference is around 600 over 24 months.

Thanks
