Best Lease Car Deals Available? (Vol 10)

[Subaruchick92]

Hi,

I have come across a Citroen C4 Electric deal, on the "Sense"

£3193 upfront and £266 a month, with a £234 processing fee.

Vehicle is in stock with metallic paint.

Anyone seen anything better?

Mileage and length of contract? If that's over 2 years then it's ~£9500 against a £28k car, not a great deal but not a horrendous one in the current market if that's the particular vehicle you'd like.

If you're going electric, are you or your wife able to purchase a car through your employer or company? Salary sacrifice or company cars are the only economical way of owning EVs right now, and they are better than ICE lease deals which aren't great since Covid. Most employers have a salary sacrifice car scheme these days.

I too was looking at the Q4 eTron 6 months ago. I could've got it for under £500 per month on salary sacrifice for the top spec version and that includes insurance, services, tyres, breakdown and 10k+ miles. We went with the BMW iX3 M Sport Pro in the end, but also looked at the EV6, Tesla Model Y and similar cars in that class. Private leasing of EVs was far too expensive last year and has got worse.

can you please provide more info on this ?
I have an option to buy as a company car and would like to know offer with insurance serice and all things mentioned...
Any pointer please ?

Are you a Director of a Ltd company? You can lease an EV and use it yourself as a company car. Benefit in Kind is 2% currently, so very tax efficient. Also you can reclaim 50% of the VAT.

Speak to your accountant.

And PHEV’s. Some drop into the 5% BIK bracket, so are also cheap.

You mean it is a horrendous deal? That's over 30% of the value, yes it's not like before but I'd say you wouldn't want to pay more than 25% if it's 2 years, if it's 3 years than yh it's a bargain. Also I'm sure putting a 12 month initial payment is a BIG NO? But each to their own.

Good table here: https://www.fleetnews.co.uk/fleet-faq/what-are-the...

https://comcar.co.uk/companycar/tax/select/ is also a great site for calculating BIK liability.

In other news - our Tesla Model 3 LR should be coming next week. I'm trying to get it brought forward to this week because (a) shiny, and (b) I'm busier with work next week!

Not saying this is a good deal (I don’t think it is), but electric cars are slightly different as you save on the fuel if you can charge at home. I’ve had a Leaf for 3 years and never used a paid for public charger. A 40mpg petrol car would cost £1680.92 to fill per year (10k) based on a fuel price of 147.9p compared to a charging cost of £214.29 at 7.5p per kWh (my current Octopus rate) based on 3.5 miles per KWH, which is conservative. Therefore you can factor in the saving of £1466 per year in fuel.

Model Y and Model 3 inventory worth a look if you can grab one before end of March.

Some steals last night. I was close to pulling the trigger whatever I think of Musk and the lack of speedo in my line of sight…

That's not a lease deal but £44k for a brand new LR? That's RWD money... May actually have to take a serious look.

I know, sorry to the thread but you can get a PCP on one. The LR’s have been less PCM than a RWD due to GFV. There were around 20 on there last night at that price. More will be released this week for immediate delivery.

Cheapest LR is now £51k and that is a 2.5k mile demo car... If a non-white LR came up at that 44-46k mark I think I'd have to jump on that. It's dull white goods but it ticks all of our dog car requirements and can do all of our regular tips (15-20k/year) with only destination charging.

Anyone seen any good deals on a BMW 1/2 series? Seems like the boat on those sailed a few years ago now.

I noticed if you do it officially through BMW they charge you an incredible amount for the pleasure of leasing rather than owning... like 60-70% of the vehicles cost.. insane.

Depends how much you want to spend per month. These look competitive for 3 year deals based on 6 payments up front:

It’s gotten worse due to the current situation, but it can be said that BMW always weren’t pushing leasing that hard as their vehicles at the lower end of the range used to cost quite a bit more than VAG who heavily push leasing hence their affordable pricing. BMW’s entire range is like Mercedes right now, a waste of time for leasing.

Has anyone else received a dashcam in a goody bag from LeasePlan unannounced?

Took delivery of my Kodiaq yesterday, and it's pretty good. I was worried it would feel like a massive step down from my XC90, but it's not such a leap of quality, and the user interface on the screen of the Kodiaq is ten times better than the Volvo, which was glitchy and not intuitive at all.

Got the Skoda on 1+35, 8kpa with maintenance - £420 per month
It's a 1.5TSi 150 DSG Sportline 7 seat.

They don’t.

[ayman82]

Carlease4u isn't a company I've ever heard of, and looking at their website, they are selling Mk7 Golf Rs, so I assume they're not great?

[Vincec]

Thanks everyone for the prompt feedback , I wondered why they were cheap , now I know and will stick to someone more reputable and a 5 door mK8 too !..I’m no golf covert as you can tell 😀

Still , any suggestions for best reputable providers please ?..I think we are now entering 400 plus a month territory probably .

Thanks
