2019 A Class - Cracking Lease deals or otherwise

Just noticed this new lease offer on Freedom Contracts. Considering 10k mileage and a 3 year contract, it is £2150 upfront with monthly payments of £238.

And free servicing and metallic paint included - seems the best deal out there right now on a new A Class personal lease? If anyone was to put around 3k upfront deposit, brings the monthly costs down to £190 mark. Feels good value with the servicing in addition too.

Is that not excluding VAT? For a personal Lease it is £278 with £2500 deposit

No, if you click on the Personal Deals section of that page, it states those prices then include VAT.

So it is 2150 deposit, 238 monthly.

Still looking for a phone holder to buy before mine arrives. Anyone got a good one that doesn't involve mounting it on the windscreen?

Have you tried magnetic mounts? Which device are you using?

Samsung S9 I think. Haven't found anything universal as I haven't got the car yet to think of something that would work. Obviously can't use anything that will leave a mark or hole in the car

Try Mous Limitless Case and Magnet mount. Works well for me.

When was it you ordered?

Ordered start of July and spoke to Nicky and it's gone from mid November to early-mid December so hopefully sticks to that cause I can't afford to have it any later.

Decent. So the timescales look about right.

Fingers crossed the cars arrive on time.

[carl123uk]

Ordered mine start of June and I'm still being told middle of November delivery to me

[the_bakerboy3685]

I ordered end of June and received an update from Shona last week saying car is due at the dealers 01/11 but this could change.

Just saw this on another A Class forum. What's everyones thoughts on this? Could this be the potenital reason that wer're seeing more delay in delivery times as dealers want to see if they're on the hook for import tariff?

someone said:

At least one dealer has the following policy, which might be across all MBUK:

Price Protection:
To ensure that our customers are able to continue to purchase cars with confidence and to plan ahead, we will guarantee the prices of all Mercedes-Benz and smart cars ordered before 31st October 2019 that have a quoted UK delivery date prior to that date, regardless of its arrival date into the UK.

Pricing Change:
Should a customs duty tariff become applicable on cars imported into the UK after leaving the European Union, we would look to increase the price of our cars accordingly, to offset the amount of the tariff (unless covered by the stated price protection). The increase would be applicable to all vehicles and factory fitted options, whether marked sold or unsold and regardless of the order, allocation date or sales channel. This would potentially vary model by model.
