But I wouldn’t lease an A5 and don’t see any value in doing so. I like the TT and it’s a cracking car. It’s not everyone’s cup of tea because they have a family to cart around possibly. I don’t.

Rich - if you specifically want a TT, then the only calculations you need to make are whether it's cheaper for you to lease, buy outright, with or without a loan, or PCP.
How it stacks up against deals on other cars is irrelevant to you really.

Others have posted how it's not that good a lease deal, compared to other cars in the leasing market.
Some have been diplomatic about it, others haven't.
Just let them get on with it and enjoy your TT when it comes, however you pay for it.

Well, perhaps there was some truth in the Total Motion/Pink Leasing warning.

Our final report has come back with two additional wheels and door "dents" added.

Is there an accepted way to contest the additional bits?

Oh no, that's not good!

Hopefully you've got photos / video taken day of collection to allow you to prove the damage didn't exist?

Out of interest, is it the collection agent or total motion / pink that send you the 'final' report?

It's the leasing company who've sent the final report, which doesn't match the collection agent's assessment.

Doesn't sound right. I am a broker but have followed the lease deals since day one as the father in law had an old school contract hire firm, funding it themselves and taking the risk. He sold it some years back so I got into this area as a secondary business. It is the funder that will bill you. Unless the broker has set this up to come through them and they chase you for this. If you have photos it will be great, but really you shouldn't be billed anything different than what was on the document the collection driver signed off on. If your inspection was 3 weeks before collection then it gave you time to repair anything, the collection company would check the vehicle as they take it and give you a collection note to show they lifted it and any damages on the vehicle. If they mess you around, agree to pay them when they can issue you with proof of damage. I bet the car is long gone and they cant.

I do wonder if this is what Total Motion / Pink Vehicle Leasing do with some of their cars:

"funding it themselves and taking the risk"

Only because they seem to offer some of the cars they get back on the used lease deal they offer.

This is possible, they just have a different FCA agreement. We used to be able to buy these and retail but this changed as there is VAT implications as lease cars are VAT qualifying at auction when they go back. They must have a car retail area too, perhaps a main dealer with a back office doing leasing. That would make sense. They may just have an underwriter willing to take the risk on the figures they suggest but generally from experience this leasing is much more expensive unless they are buying hundreds of vehicle's to get an extra 1%. I would bet they have a dealer with access and they agree to take so many back. Then hit you hard for dents etc if they need to push the margin up.

Indeed. I’ve been leasing for many years. It’s a good deal and I’ve done my maths. Works for me.
I’m a true believer of what goes around , comes around and so will leave it at that.

Thanks for the “normal” response. It brings hope.

FFS the consensus is it's a st deal. Stop defending it, anyone would think you work for the leasing company you're advertising.

I’ve still yet to be shown a better deal but I doubt that’s within your remit. Thanks for your useful comment. Much appreciated.

My point is more that you claimed it is a "cracking deal" which everyone will tell you it isn't, just because you can't get it cheaper anywhere at the moment doesn't make it a "cracking deal". There is just very poor offers on that car at the moment.

I was showing the cost of what is considered a "cracking deal" on a car with a similar retail value even from the same brand.

Don’t bother , it’s falling on deaf ears (rich’s)

It’s an okay deal on an outgoing model. If you love the TT then yeah it’s acceptable but for the bargain hunters on here it’s nothing special.

I’m sure rich will reply to me now telling me I’m wrong even though the lease score is confirming what we all know to be true with scientific fact.

[Gazzab]

Anyone after an Audi TT deal? Swansay have them at £289 a month incl vat. See what car website.
It’s not a cracking deal and sadly it’s 4 years but if you are after a car for your wife.

[PenelopaPitstop]

To compare deals, it must be the same model. The above is sport, other one was Black Edition.

It’s in a different class completely. You can’t directly compare. What gets me excited ... A5 or TT ? What gets you excited ? Assuming it does ? A5 obviously.

What gets me even more excited is to drop this battle completely as its a complete waste of time and pointless effort. There are so many factors involved that defines a cracking deal for an individual . Unless I’m shown an actual factory order that’s significantly cheaper , and presumably more accurately represents your definition of a cracking deal (in the current market) , it’s wasted energy.

One more thing , just how far back are we comparing current pricing ? Back in the day ? It doesn’t make sense. Pricing won’t get cheaper and factory prices are continuously going up year on year.
I’m willing to put myself into a more exclusive less popular class of vehicle which comes at a cost . There is a reason why the A5 maybe cheaper to lease when factoring this in even if the factory price is similar.

What comparison? It’s an Audi TT sport. I have no idea what a black edition is.

To describe leasloco as scientific is just ridiculous. Ive heard it all now.

This is the final time I'm biting at this because I'm not even convinced this is a real person anymore and is instead just a parody account.

"I’m willing to put myself into a more exclusive less popular class of vehicle which comes at a cost" - As other posters have pointed out this just isn't true, there have been incredible deals on Alfa 4C's, Aston Martin Vantage's, BMW M8's, M4's etc the list literally goes on all of them much more "exclusive" than a TT and all far better deals.

I’m sorry. That’s unfounded and you are just throwing prestige names into the mix. Yes please make it the last . It’s all getting rather desperate now as the comments keep coming.

Desperate? You made a statement stating that you pay a premium for a more "exclusive" class of car and i've just given you multiple examples, and there's a hell of a lot more to prove that isn't the case. Even if you take Aston out of it, BMW and Alfa are hardly "Prestige" marques in comparison to Audi.

[Hugo Stiglitz]

Sorry where can I find these deals on argument 4C and bmw guys?

Get a hot tub together

I've asked the mods whether they can do the necessary to re-align this thread back to an "available car lease deal" discussion.
