Has anyone test driven the Cupra Formentor? Seems like a few decent deals knocking around (circa 25-30%)

Our current GLE goes back in a couple of months but obviously I can't test drive one to see if it's any good!

This week's Autocar has a road test which is pretty complementary about the Formentor.

Did anyone order a Kuga st line x from Arnold Clark before Xmas? Think my order was 21st Dec or so and was told eta was 21st March. Normally I’ve been given an order number and could track progress of the build but AC haven’t given me anything and have said Ford don’t allow you to track. I asked for an updated eta but I’m not really getting anything back from them, I’m not sure they know and I doubt they even checked for me.

Anyone had any better info out of them yet?

Haven't seen this posted. Might be worth a look.

I ordered end of October and was initially told January, then got pushed back to first week Feb and now last week of Feb. Hoping it won't be delayed again but resigned to the fact that it might be.

To be fair I've had email updates informing me of the change in the eta so if you haven't heard from them hopefully you'll still be on for the March 21st eta.

Haven't been given a tracking number but then i haven't asked for one either.

A guy at work took delivery of his today, so they must be coming through.

I'm considering a Volvo XC40 and have seen Rybrook Volvo have the R-Design for £299 pm with £1k initial. It's a four lease deal though and only 6k miles p.a. Has anyone seen anything better? They also have an offer on WhatCar Leasing at £1730 initial and £288 per month over 3 years with 8k miles p.a

I like that shape A3 although this is very close to the amortised price of a 128ti, although without MP and probably for 36 rather than 24 months.

The best deal on the Cupra Formentor I can find at the moment is with Leasingoptions - https://www.leasingoptions.co.uk/car-leasing/cupra...

Only concern is running it over 4 years - have previously stuck to 3 years and just got that concern about running it for a year without warranty. Price jumps up quite a bit for 3 years (391 vs 368).

Anyone else looking at one of these - anyone found any better?

No, is that default white? its just the special colours that make the car look really nice, are an expensive addition!

This is a very close deal to yours, it is tempting the car is a good spec.

Yes - the only free paint is white, but then it is a lease car...

Has anyone dealt with Arnold Clarke before? I have a quote for a bmw 135 with metallic paint from them that I am very tempted by this,

Deal approx is
6k miles 3 years
300 a month with 3 months initial can quote exact numbers if required (it’s not amazing but good enough for me)

Ps yes seen the chat on the Kugas further up. I am think end of lease as well as upfront

That's one hell of a deal for the M135i.

I can't see it on the website, best I can see is £399 for 4 years?

My order went through 3rd week of November ish (they put it through at some point in the 14 day cooling off period, unsure when) and was given an ETA of 8th March at dealer so I guess a few days after that for PDI and delivery?

I assume will depend on exact model and trim but we will mostly all be getting the ST Line X as that was the best value?

I went for 2.0 190 AWD Auto in Agate Black STLX.

If your not aware, the spec changed for 2021.25 models so the STLX now includes the winter pack, so heated seats at rear, heated wheel and rear camera. Titanium gets some extra as well.

I have just leased a Mitsubishi L200 from a company in Milton Keynes called Kardi Leasing ( www.kardileasing.co.uk ). It was the cheapest L200 that I could find on leasing.com & Leaseloco.com

They weren't miles cheaper than everyone else but it all seems very competitive. My L200 was in stock so I had no issues but they told me that loads of factory orders are being delayed. Especially VW group cars because of some computer chip that they cannot get due to coronavirus. I googled it and Skoda are cutting staff shifts in the factory, Audi have furloughed over 10,000 workers and VW are taking Bosch to court for loss of earnings so it looks like people ordering lease cars would want to order earlier than usual.

Some people think I am mad for getting a Mitsubishi when the manufacturer is pulling out of the country & EU. But its on a lease so it doesn't really affect me?

I'm interested too, but yeah that 4th year adds a fair amount of cost, MOT, an extra service, tax, warranty

Yep, got a 1.5 diesel ST Line X edition for the wife on order with Arnold Clark. Ordered around Christmas time and were given April as a delivery date. Asked for specific date today and a quick reply suggested it should arrive with the dealer on 5th April. I haven't got a tracking number but I don't really need one. I'm in no rush to get the car given we can't really drive anywhere currently so taking the mindset that it will be here when it arrives. I had a Leon Cupra on lease before and people on forums etc seemed to be wanting to track their cars position almost daily, even finding out which boat it was on and where the boat was, and were getting stressed about when it would arrive. Not a lot you can do to hurry it up so no point stressing.
