anyone recommend any cracking deals on leases at the mo?

I saw an A-Class from Lings at £200, but its weedy & poverty spec

My Cherokee has cost about £1k in bits - plus urban mpg of c. half a modern unit means that the 10k I've done cost about 2.5k in fuel

So on 10k miles per year:

Cherokee
Depreciation - nil
Fuel - £2500
Tax - £210
Service/repairs - £1000

Total = £3710 = £309/month


Bluemotiony lease motor
Depreciation - £2400
Fuel - £1250
Tax - £30
Service - £100

Total = £3780 = £315/month

anyone got a simplt full cost modelling web page or similar?

Don't forget to include cost of insurance.

Can't offer any tips on great lease deals, sorry. I don't think £200/month will go far when you include VAT on the lease cost. Probably lucky to get a basic Polo/Fiesta type car for that.

the povvo spec a-class is £202 - yeah - insurance i'd taken as relatively flat - i.e. it'll be about £500 whatever i get....

I think your depreciation model is flawed...

Welcome to all the fun of the contracthireandleasing website. If there's a deal on there that is the same as is advertised I will show my arse in Harvey Nicks window.

Heard some good things about these: http://www.nationwidevehiclecontracts.co.uk/

Quite a selection: Juke/B Class/Qashqai(sp?)/Mito/Focus all around £200pm personal lease

Also the prices they quote include VAT and you can spec up with options/maintenance

My mate got his car from Lings this morning, Seat Ibiza Sport Coupe 1.4. He pays £203 per month, which includes tax, maintenance, tyres etc. He has just sold his mint condition Focus ST3 because he wanted something more frugal.

Prices quoted on personal lease with VAT seem cheapest around after a quick google.

beaten to it!

Just taken delivery of a Qashqai 1.6 Visia, £230 per month inc Vat for 36 months with zero deposit. Cracking car so far (albeit a bit underpowered).
