Best Lease Car Deals Available? (Vol 9)

[240Cup]

The missus's Kodiaq lands in a couple of weeks - what does the upgraded sound system perform like (appreciate the speakers might need running in). We went for the Canton and the Pano roof and I think from memory the Quartz grey (dark grey metallic).

Not sure how new they are, but the shorter term V60 deals on Santander start to look a bit better in current climate

https://www.santanderconsumer.co.uk/123contracthir...

Might have an ask around about the other specs and mileages

Massive thanks for posting this, lovsn. I managed to put an order in for a Volvo XC40 T3 (163BHP), 0x36, 10k PA, in black with Apple CarPlay for £294. That's something like £50 per month cheaper than anything else I could find, and that's based on four year leases, and this is three. And I'd have never come across this deal if you hadn't posted about it a few pages back!

Looks like I'm going FULL WOKE/VEGAN and going to take on a LEAF on lease. I drove a MK1 example at lunchtime (as I'd never ever driven a BEV before) and found it quite impressive in an efficient, washing machine kind of way.

I'm fully versed with LeaseLoco/Nationwide etc blah but if anyone else sees any stonking deals for them I'd be chuffed.

I *think* I'd like a good spec, but perhaps I should just have a Base Spec in Red and be done with it. DUNNO.

Anything you see I'd be grateful.

There's some deals about for stock Accentas and Edition 10s around. Otherwise there might be a long wait. Although I am not too clued up about lead times for Nissans following the chip shortage.

What deal did you get and from where out of interest?

Will get rinsed as it isn't that great compared to previous deals on them, but currently got to hie a car so needed something sharpish,

3+35, 10k per annum. £420 a month in Lapiz Blue. Got it direct from a dealer (Marshall's VW) through Autocar website

What’s everyone’s views on this:

Volvo XC90 diesel
3 year deal
12k miles per year therefore 36k over the term
Service pack included - 3 years of servicing

£3k down then £618 per month

For Comparison I’m picking up an XC90 r design b5
0+36
£8k per annum for £575.

Including 3 years servicing and intelisafe (driver assist) upgrade.

Awesome, looking forward to mine coming in a few weeks. How long was the turn around once it was delivered to the dealership?

Regarding delivery mileage, it starts once the vehicle is handed over to you and stops as soon as you hand the keys back. I'm north of Scotland and my current car got driven up, had 650miles on it! lol!

Dealership turnaround was pretty quick...less than a week for mine, even with a bank holiday in it. Most of the wait was taken up with the 14 day cooling off period needed for the finance. It was a bit of a pain printing, signing and scanning the docs before emailing them back, but I got them returned on the day I received them.

Load cover still sits under the boot floor yes, had a little pootle around, it's much 'keener' on initial throttle than the V90 (which seemed particularly tardy) which seems positive, I am no illusion that it'll feel anything other than slow, but it's not meant for thrills. I'll take the Mini out for a bit of fun wink

Mine came in at £309 on a 1+35 with 6k miles. I've never had a 3 year lease, always max 2, but I can't imagine my needs changing over the next 3 years so more than happy with the overall deal.

So far so good.

Thanks, good to know it still fits and thanks for the pictures. Looks good in silver

If anyone is the same as me and is alright printing them but has issues scanning documents. You can get a app on your phone called "Adobe Scan". Works perfectly, literally just opens your camera, automatically recognizes the printed sheet which you will have signed, then saves it.

Worked perfectly for me.

Hells bells where was that deal from?

No chance.
Thanks.

Sounds good. What lead time have you been quoted?

Thoughts on this?
Seat Tarraco FR 1.5l DSG in metallic red, white or grey
3 years at £500 deposit then £334 (£350 inc maintenance and tyres). Works out at £12,750 over 3 years.

I've ordered one of these from Zen in Oryx White. Ordered on 28th May, finance agreement underwritten on 1st June and car is scheduled to be delivered on 16th June. I did have to waive my 14 day cooling off rights as we needed the car ASAP and that was the only way to speed the process up.

It should be on variable servicing so most likely 1 service due during the 3 years and you can always swap the tyres back to front halfway through to get even wear, so might be worth saving the £550ish over the term?

Do be aware that these cars are on a 21 plate but have been registered already at the end of March, so that will obviously affect your warranty! I wasn't informed of this at the time of order and when I questioned it they said I can amend my contract to make the lease shorter so it matches up with the warranty period - but obviously that pushes the monthly price up.
Looks like the Merlot Red is out of stock now and there is only 1 Oryx White left and 18 Dolphin Greys left.

Haven't been told yet, though in my case it doesn't matter as my current lease doesn't end until the end of October. My dealer is going to hold the car for me until then.

I’ve ordered the Oryx white today too. I assumed they were pre-registered as it does specify 21 plate but not really bothered, new cars don’t go majorly wrong after 3 years.

I went for the service pack as my Arteon 2 year lease required a £300 service a few months ago just to change the oil, and we’re nearly at the legal limit on the front tyres after 15,000 miles so I figured the maintenance would be worth it for a set of tyres and one or two services, not to mention any punctures. Having said that I’m sure I saw something on the seat website advertising 2 services for £199

I previously had a Kodiaq through Zen and they said I can get it serviced at any independent garage as long as its genuine parts. The Kodiaq also had Pirelli Scorpion self seal tyres so I wonder if the Tarraco will too. In my 7+ years of leasing I've never had to replace a tyre - any punctures were dealt with at my local tyre place for a fiver a pop by just plugging the hole.

That £199 service plan is usually only for PCP customers. Always worth calling up and asking if they'll give it to you?

[Vinnieb88]

Meh I’ve committed to the £15 service plan now, it’s a small risk but easier than paying silly money for services and tyres. Interesting that Zen weren’t fussed about the service, VWFS stated it had to be a VW Authorised Service centre on my Arteon

Just FTK this week on a 3 year lease with ZenAuto, long time lurker.

https://www.leaseloco.com/car-leasing/seat/leon/14... (I somehow paid £15 more in total than the deal shown at £2099 down inc fee and £220 for 35 months)

It's the best price on an auto hatchback in my price range (8k miles) - especially for what you get (wireless charging/carplay, heated seats etc, 30 miles on full charge). Works out to be sub 30% for 36 months which is great even under normal circumstances. I was close to getting the 35 s-line auto deal earlier this year but the wait times put me off. My colour - midnight black - is just 4 weeks delivery away and registered just now, might have to fork up a service before handback but will worry about that in 3 years

Randomly noticed there's at least 20% cash offer discounts from some online providers knocking about on this specific Leon Xcellence trim (see auto-trader or Pulman SEAT for example - who couldn't get near to this PCH deal) bringing it to £27k. £9.8k for three years in comparison is still okay at 36%.

Looks reasonable monthlies but it shows how poor deals have come over the last few months.

The payments are almost identical to what I am paying for an Audi A5 sport back s line that I took delivery of in January on a 24 month 10000 miles per year deal.

£15pm is a relatively low cost for the maintenance package so I think you've still done well!
Each finance company has their own rules as to whether they require servicing at a main dealer, any independent garage that is VAT registered or any garage full stop. Its a question I always ask before I sign on the dotted line.

tbf, this is a £35k list car for £272 on a 1+35, 8k. Everyone seems to bang on about the Golf R deal which was about £250 for a similarly priced car. So really, this isn't far off. Deals are still out there, just maybe not on the car you had in mind.
