I take my hat off to you Phleaser fantastic deal.

Ha thanks, but could you wait until it’s delivered?! I believe that’s the rule of the Cheap Lease thread!

Audi A6 to do 5k a year in?
No wonder they are cheap deals.

Seems like an expensive way to do 5k a year to me.

That’s the contracted mileage. Not a limit. Excess miles are charged at the end.

I’m incredibly tentative that I’ve been miss-quoted and they aren’t going to honour.
A6-Avant, S-Line, solid Black, SE suspension, black leather, £219 on a 3+23, 13k (!)
I don’t want to shout too loud from my soapbox as i’m hoping they honour the deal. But i’ve Been told the finance was ‘rejected’ and to contact Experian. Turns out we’ve been living in our new home for 18 months but aren’t on the electoral role(!)
We have definitely voted from this address previously so this is all very confusing.
Also, there was no credit check showing even though it had apparently (just) failed.
Negatively thinking, I feel they’ve accidentally under quoted and haven’t even attempted to progress it.
Positively thinking the finance company didn’t even do a check as it bounced back on the electoral role soft search (if there is such a thing)
Any thoughts?

Cracking price! Best to see what happens when the docs come from the funder. I suspect it’s Lex.
To add to your question about credit check, my finance was approved BUT incidentally I use Noddle to check my credit file. No search Recorded by anyone in the last few months.
Yesterday I received a letter from Equifax to tell me my data was leaked earlier in the year and I can have their full services for free. So I checked Equifax yesterday, no credit searches recorded again. So either Lex are incredibly trusting in their potential customers (Lex are part of Lloyd’s Banking group) or they use the other credit reference agency Experian!

Yes it's Lex, i have a Volvo on order from them and two other cars on VWFS... it's caused some issues and i've got to send them bank statements tomorrow.... what a faff! You could ask them if you can prove you finances like i'm having to send bank statements?

Thanks for the heads up, I did give some screenshots from my credit file to prove out goings & that the electrol role was showing up. Hopefully Lex are just fussy & it’ll get sorted out. Will keep you all posted.

9+23 @ £145 for me. Headline deal, 5k SE model in freebie black. I didn't know you could debadge the rear for free

I have just came out of a focus ST2 lease 3+23 @ £203. I actually bought a 2010 Leon FR to replace it but we are not getting on, so that will be up for sale come March. Thankfully the Mrs understood how good a deal the A6 is!

I also have an 18 plate private reg waiting for the Audi to arrive muhaha!

That is what I went for initially, but the bloke was bumping up the price to add road tax and then me trying to get some auto folding mirrors on top, in the end ditched the whole thing as it was gong to cost me £160/month.

I then figured the S line was £172/month on the same 9+23 (5k), which came with the auto mirrors and all the extra kit, so signed up to the s line the next day at the increased rate of £182!

Got to say, you got the best 'bang for buck' there! well done! It's all dependent on who you dealt with!

Yeh I always run the quick configurator before signing up for a deal as there are usually a few freebie add ons!

Gosh, didn't realise they were ever that cheap. Nice catch

[soupdragon1]

Here is an actual pic of the grey interior. Very similar to how it looks on the configurator to be fair (albeit with the black edition dash trim which we don't get)

I quite like it.

[Gregmitchell]

Yup that interior looks really nice, a welcome change from the black.

And the size of that boot! Looks even bigger than the Passat one!

[Swampy1982]

what is everyone paying for xs miles per mile?

5k sounds like its not the real world so what is everyone factoring in extra per month?

[Blue Oval84]

Could someone tell me where these <£200 lease deals are available please?! The only company name I've spotted is Blue Chilli and they seem to start at £245.

Are we talking Ex VAT or Inc VAT prices here?

This deal is now swept under the carpet for now matey, yes these A6's were from BCC but back to normal prices.

Yes all inc VAT

D'oh! Literally looks like the only deal cheap enough to persuade me into leasing a car about two years ahead of when I should be doing it!

[totalfootball74]

So Blue Chilli have contacted me via email asking for their £360 fee stating That the car has been ordered.

However, I've not seen any paperwork on Lex Headed Paper and they're asking for a bank transfer or cheque.

I would like to pay on the fee a credit card as it offers more protection in case of Blue Chilli going under or the car not materialising, but there's no mention of me being able to pay this way on the email.

Any one have any thoughts? Any one else been asked to pay their fee without seeing Lex Paperwork?

What's the company name on the invoice? Blue Chilli Car Contracts has circa £200k cash and £250k debtors as of their March 2017 accounts, looks like an ok company to be fair (if that's the name on the invoice)

Passat estate has 100 litres more boot space than the A6 Avant, must be the sloping rear end on the A6

I’m awaiting the response from my “appeal” with Lex (through bcc).
Not so enthusiastic about a way forward after reading the main lease deals thread just now &#128577;
I’ve not been asked for a deposit yet though.

Thats the bit that worries me.

Are the xs miles on a sliding scale, say first 5k miles at 10ppm then after that it rockets to 50ppm? Or is it fixed at the same ppm no matter how many miles you go over by?

[totalfootball74]

It is Blue Chilli Cars Contracts Greg.

Xs mileage is £0.126 p/m from Blue Chillis paperwork.

Their 'marketing guy' dropped a massive clanger in the Best Lease thread - joined up pretending to be a regular member and started pushing links to Blue Chilli and Smart Leasing Solutions which I guess is one of their other businesses. One of the members found his Twitter and then LinkedIn which revealed who he worked for and it looks like he's been offed from the forums...

It's one thing to post, "Hi, I'm xxxxx from XYZ - let me know if I can help.." but to actively try and drive business from the forum without revealing any affiliation is rather too sneaky for my liking...
