Did anyone hear back from Contract Cars about the XC60? I got no response although they have been spamming me with other cars ever since.

The link was dead on their site yesterday morning so I assume it was an ‘error’.

i make it total cost £6136 over the term which is 23% or 21% of list depending on whatever the correct price is. If the former then it's good but not great, but if the latter then it's v good. I guess it's the same car regardless so. £255pcm straight-lined cost.

Brilliant. Thankyou

i am sure everyone was going nuts a few years ago when the Golf R was released and RRP was just over £30k. Now we're not batting an eyelid when the lower end of the range is getting on for that sort of money... crazy life eh

I was lucky enough to get one of these, i was 19 at the time and got a brand new Golf R for £187 a month. I was absolutely buzzing but looking again now can't get a deal anywhere near as good as that.

That’s the problem now, some of the past deals on various cars were so good the only way from there is down. Or cough up a lot more £££.

Mini 1.5 auto?

Contract cars 3 + 23 10k for £217 ( plus £300)

Not sure what % works out but nice for for just over 200 a month. If we hadnt just got a 3008 and a a5 on order would be tempted with this.

Vastly more than Contract Cars had it up for - but still not a bad price.

My experience is exactly this having tried to call a few times with no answer and submitting my info for a quote.

Clickbait to harvest some contact details, rather than an 'error' I suspect.

Took (trailered) deliver today of a new A4 Avant 35 TFSI Black Edition. Decent deal,1+23, 7k pa, £295 signed back in February. Larger if slower replacement for the Golf gti that went back this morning and a good compliment for the E300 Cabriolet also on the drive.

That actually looks really good. Many congrats on that deal.

Has anyone had issues with the Affinity A3 offers? I had put in for one but got declined on the finance which is a first for me (3 x VWFS leases prior with no issues) the funder was ALD, not VWFS like I thought.

I ended up going ahead on an A5 Sportback 35 TDI S-tronic Sport through Claris Vehicle Sourcing instead (Audi Loyalty deal), finance went through without issue, 6x23 8k pa £230pm - only option I spec'd was the alternative alloys. Ibis white with atlas beige/cream leather, never had anything other than black so fancied a change - even if the broker did ask me 3 times if I reaaaally wanted beige interior...

Delivery expected Nov/Dec which ties in nicely with my A3 going back. I think it's a very decent deal considering I'm paying 10 quid less a month for a 1 litre A3 on the same terms (actually less miles, 5k).

Appreciate everyone’s help on this group going for T Roc R

Many thanks

Presumably like me you are still waiting for your T Roc R? Not even got a build date yet. Still at "With The Factory". Are you the same?

Anyone else out there order one of these when the deals were around in April and got any updates?

Why are you having second thoughts?

I’ve just ordered one on 225/pm 3+23 & 195fee and just wondered if there’s a reason behind your doubt?

Keen to hear if there’s a better deal out there.

Nb - must be an automatic

Over £6k to run a Corsa for 2 years!

This is the problem with deals right now, I'm paying £190 on a 1+23 for the Astra turbo elite nav and the deal above is 225 on a 3+23 for a corsa.

Thank you all for your help. I will look into the ones people have suggested. Just doesn’t seem like there are that many good deals at the moment.

Lending criteria is tightening. Its not you necessarily. Expect this to become a theme.

Think I may be buying a car next if these good lease dont turn up, you have to be mad to rent a corsa for £3k a year, it seems we have all fallen into this lease trap and struggling to climb out.

The poster above you has just signed up for a A5 deal at £3300 a year, sounds reasonable.

You can say that again! One sniff of a decent deal (like the A5 a week or two ago) and there are ones of pages discussing options/combinations, there’s so little going on!

Very true. The Golf R, Audi S5 and Alfa 4C(!!) days are long gone.

I’m looking to replace a Volvo S90 by May next year (£260 a month, 10K and £1,250 down, which was actually my tiring 11 year old mini traded in at the dealer!) which was an OK to decent deal at the time. Really not sure what I can go for as I don’t want an informal extension as I’m avoiding the second service.

11 years ago I leased a poverty spec XC90 for £400 pm 6 + 35. Its back to those days.
