I am in almost exactly the same situation as you, same car, same month started. Enquired about 6 weeks ago and they would only let me have 3 months, my order for a sportage has been delayed until November so got back in touch, thankfully they have now offered me a 12 month extension on same terms (return with 28 days notice) so I have snatched their hands off.

Phoned them back and bagged the same offer. 12 month extension on the same rental and return with 28 days notice. So can return it before the 3 year service and MOT is due!

Wishfully thinking there may be better deals around next summer....

What’s the recommended way to go about searching for fleet lease deals?

I need to start looking into them at work soon as most of the existing fleet are due to go back next April. It’s a fairly small fleet of 9 cars and they were sourced through a sister company at not very great prices. Granted I had no involvement in it at the time.

Will you be switching them to electric?

Potentially depending on what is available

Agreed, the days of relatively plentiful decent lease deals are a thing of the past. Car companies now realise producing less cars and creating a demand as opposed to pumping them out as fast as they can is more profitable. Less discounting etc.

The previous mindset was its too expensive to adjust production levels and just manufacturer at the same rate despite demand and discount off over supply. They had no choice but to change production levels through covid and now see the benefits so wont change it back.

Some companies, like Ford, have reduced support for leasing and any cars being produced for leasing companies etc sit at the bottom of the priority pile.

Just my take!

I'm sorry but that isn't accurate. You think all these manufacturers who have invested billions in production lines and capacity are now happy to not run it at as much capacity as possible? If they could get supply chains and components and if shipping capacity was not over constrained they'd be running it back to 100% for sure! Leasing deals also help drive new car vehicle sales and in turn the used car market so no-one wins. Of course whether we see the type of deals we used to is another question and inflation, interest rate rises won't help that

Hi, I have ordered the below from StoneacreLeasing, usually wouldn't go with a 4 year lease but Hyundai has a 5 year warranty.

Hyundai Tucson
1.6 TGDi Hybrid 230 Ultimate 5dr 2WD Auto
48 months
Initial £2635
47 x £292
5000 miles

Seems a well equipped family wagon.

Same deal I got back in January (albeit I went with 1+ and fully maintained)

Looking forward to it coming but still no updates other than "sometime in June"

No problem in disagreement and why I said just my take.

That's a decent deal, I've had a quote for Cupra Formentor 2.0 V2 3+35 £389 8K miles...

The link to the estate was done in error...it was for the hatch only.

Some (in this market) decent deals on the golf R Estate

Not quite the bargains of yesteryear, but more competitive

I have a bit longer to wait hoping December is achievable.
What colour combo did you choose?
I went for Metallic Teal with grey Interior.
Hope you enjoy it.

Yeah hope so - it's for the wife really but we're heading on a UK road trip in July so will be nice to have the new motor for that. Better bloody come before December though!

She went for black with the moss grey interior - never seen the moss grey but always feel a light interior looks so much nicer (although having to clean it is a pain). I might have gone for either the gunmetal or silver colours but she gets what she wants!

Ordered a 265 PHEV 1st March which is due for delivery in August, I assume it will still be late. This was a 3+35 15k BCH for £391.96pm. Cheapest I could find at the time.

Does this not affect warranty?

Nope. Common misconception but independent servicing does not void warranty.

Leases can only say they 'require' it because legally you don't own the car, but providing you know their penalties for not servicing to their spec and factor it in, you're okay. But they may not take issue if it was serviced on time and logged correctly.

Not sure if these are good deals because I don't follow Tesla, but just received this email from CVL -

It’s not a question of independent servicing but the suggestion that you can get away with no service and pay a small fine of say £60. This will invalidate your warranty.

I’ve also got the same car with metallic paint on order 1+35 £342 5k pa. Was due in April but has now been delayed till Aug/Sept

A bit of an ‘off the wall’ question but I’m looking for a new small car for my 17yr old.
A few years ago my eldest was looking at Fiat 500’s which were available for £99 with the first years insurance thrown in
Now I realise the world has changed since then but are there any deals even remotely like this that anyone knows about?
Sorry for the dumb sounding question, and thanks in advance...

Cheapest at the moment is probably a corsa. Mileage and term will obviously change the cost but assuming 5k per year and a 3+35 term they start at £180pcm. No free insurance though and that’s not going to be cheap on a new car at 17!

My leases have always had a min age of 21.

Thanks for the reply.
Obvious;y being a little more ‘mature’ insurance isn’t such n issue for me, and both my wife and I have had cracking deals on our new cars
I’m going to look for either the best new deal I can find for him or alternatively a decent used Toyota Argo, VW UP! or similar (insurance quotes around £880-1025....)
