2019 A Class - Cracking Lease deals or otherwise

[maxwellm1]

a250 prem plus delivered 1st of october 😁

[ST09]

Popped into my local dealership to check if they got any loyalty offers going on fo service packages as I have used them for my previous three c class. Manager mentioned MB might do something on Black Friday (big maybe i say).

Oh yeah saw this too. Cant wait to get delivery of mine. A4 goes back on 26th so ive ended up buying a suzuki to cover the 5-6 weeks gap and send that one to scrappers once A Class delivered.

Red really does look great ! I ordered a white one myself as I find white cars hide Stone chips / scratches well, but was seriously tempted by Red. I’ll have to go for a more interesting colour choice next time ha !

I'm looking at getting an A class on lease and best I've seen so far is for the Mercedes A-Class Hatchback A200 Amg Line 5dr Auto with Pink Car Leasing. £277 a month, 36 month 3+35 10k miles. Interested to know what others have paid?

I got mine after the summer deals people got, so not as good as the others on here.

Mercedes A Class A250 Premium:
- Metallic Paint (Mountain Gray)
- Smartphone Package
- Aluminium Trim
- Maintenance excluding tyres (basically 3 services)

£322 a month with £966 deposit on a 3 year lease with 8k miles per year.

Thanks, Pink Car leasing also have the A200 Premium for £305 on 3+35 10k. Wife has her heart set on an A class now, current lease is up at the end of the year so going to have to just pull the trigger on one pretty soon. Been holding out to see if any better offers come up.

Things to note:

- Deliveries are super delayed for factory orders, so unless it's "In Stock" I doubt you'll get it this year. I ordered start of July and hopefully looking at December delivery.
- Don't skimp on the displays, you'll regret getting 7" screens over 10" so definitely go for the premium package.
- 3rd service for MB can be quite expensive so check if a maintenance package would suit you better in the long term.

I got my deal direct through Arnold Clark with an account manager Nicky Morton (07929 788612). So might be worth giving him a call and asking if there is any deals going as i haven't seen anywhere that could really match the deal.

I got one of the early deals on a A250 AMG line premium inc maintenance and it’s £277.91 on a 3+35 I don’t think they will be that cheap again TBH though.

Damn that's good. Did this include any options on top (e.g. paint, phone package, navigation etc)? I assume this was with Arnold Clark Perth.

I've had my A180 for two weeks, amazing car and wasn't expecting it to be a head turner but it's gets so much attention. Got it in white AMG line premium pack (highly recommended) paying £250 a month 6k miles per year 3 year term. Ordered in April though so had to wait.

Best feature for me by far is the ambient lighting especially in the night and the parking asssist.

also got early arnold clark deal a250 prem plus maintenance without tyres 6 upfront 23 months 8k £279 polar white never knew about the aluminium trim until was to late to add. delivery to me on 1st october

[lstirk]

I tried Nicky at Arnold Clarke, it was coming out at £350 for the A200 AMG Auto with Premium. I think ive managed to get it for £292 a month from Pink Car Leasing 3+35 10k miles, just waiting for confirmation. Quite happy with that, seems the cheapest by far at the moment with the premium package. They are suggesting it will be December for delivery

Just had the dreaded call from AC to advise Mercedes have held back (blocked ) on a thousandish cars, cant remember the term he used of which 36 were for AC, some excuse about waiting for a part or just aspinning me a line.

A180 AMG exec line was due in the country originally 31/07 then 25/09 now not expected until 09/10 then needs to be transported.

Im not a happy bunny to say the least

Logistically its a fecking nightmare

01/10 hand my car back
08/10 should have had my new car delivered
09/10 husband away on business with 2nd car
13/10 husband is back with 2nd car (very late)
14/10 2nd car returned to lease company
15/10 Go on holiday
03/11 back off holiday to no cars
04/11 husbands new lease delivered this week

I am waiting for AC to come back to me as its impossible for me to be without a car between 9/10 - 15/10 and then come back off holiday to no car. Insurance has been amended to new date & private reg for 08/10

I know there is no guarantee on delivery dates for a lease car but when i ordered it, there was no question about delays as it was due in the country the end of July. So to take delivery early Oct was not an issue.

I just hope they come back with either a hire car or by some miracle they find a way to get my car to me as scheduled.

Finance docs signed & returned & deposit paid.

Arghhhhhhhhh

Anyone else had similar ??

That is absolutely unacceptable. You are not having much luck with this order. Instead of looking forward to enjoying your new ride you have to go through all this stress.

Not heard anything back after my last contact with Nick at AC. I might drop him an email and see where we at.

My original date was 01 Oct 19 as my A4 goes back this Thursday. But that got changed to mid Nov delivery to me.

Oh yeah I did enquire about deposit after your last post. I was advised you pay deposit much nearer to the time usually a week before delivery.

Unfortunately delays can happen with factory orders and generally out of the hands of the supplying dealers.

My previous leases were also delayed quite a bit.

[Pkgrfergie]

I just hope they come back with an offer of a courtesy vehicle until i get back off holiday (03/11) for me that is the only accepable compromise. I will see what he comes back with & then escalate it if i have to.

Anybody know where i stand regarding signing the finance docs & paying deposit. I know i should have a 14day cooling off period but what if they break the contract ? Albeit we are still within 14days at the moment. I have had a read through & cant see anything.

For that very reason I ended up getting cheap old car which cost me a lot cheaper than using Uber or Cab for one and half month.

And funny thing I might end up making some money on that car when I sell it afterwards.

I've not heard of anyone being offered a courtesy car if I'm honest. I've heard of people being allowed to extend their current lease until delivery but that was because they were already in a car provided by VWFS and their new order was also with VWFS.

Delayed delivery won't break the contract as I'm sure there'll be something in there in regards to delivery dates moving forwards/backwards so to play it safe you would need to cancel within the 14 days.

When are they coming back to you ?
