Following the M135i thread which nearly had me led down an unfamiliar garden path into leasing, are there any other similarly wallet inducing lease deals out there for the budding PHer?

They seem to change fairly regularly so it would be nice to have a single place to dump links to such temptingly favorable deals as they come up...

a starter for ten...

I hope this thread takes off as I enjoy checking out the deals. I did find with several of the 135i prices though that they were more bar room talk than actual factual

Some tempting prices on that link. Not very PH, but I'm quite taken with the idea of this:

Perfect timing! My uncle is currently facing the lease vs 2nd hand car dilemma.

Some cheap deals to show him will be useful

Look, if we have this thread can we have it for deals which are on:

A) cars you actually want rather than dull pieces of st you just want to go to work in
and
B) actual decent deals. £500 for an M3 is not WOW, FANTASTIC, OMG, etc. £500 for a Ferrari is wow, etc but not just an ordinary tin top saloon.

Whenever I look at lease deals it all seems to be 4,5,600 quid for fking dull German barge stuff. Which is fine if you are called Graham and you are an accountant, but Im not. And whatsmore, my idea of a wow, omg, etc deal is one where the salesman has no dignity whatsoever, knows they are a glorified we and will prostitute themselves for me to the most debasing, disgustingly low level to do an say whatever they need to to get my cash.

You've made some good points but not calling an M3 an ordinary tin top saloon. It's a fantastic car, virtual Ferrari pace with 4 seats and everyday usability I'd say.

It looks like a 3 series saloon, ie. its dull
Its got a dull interior.

In my world...that's dull.

Then leasing isn't for you, so bugger off out of the thread and find something else to trash.

Unlikely, I think, to find a Ferrari for £500pm...

The leasing world is exactly about the daily drive for a set fixed budget with no nonsense about repairs/depreciation/VED to be worrying about, so in likelihood it will be quite generic.

That said, it doesn't preclude a bit of fun. The idea of beating the depreciation curve whilst running a modern, box fresh hot hatch is pretty good. Actually more tempted by a mk7 Golf R (or.. ahem a Golf GTD(!) than I was a M135i...

XC90? 0% 24 months Exec?

£13k down and £289 p/month.

£47k list. An old bus but does the job brilliantly. Old school charm at its best.

At 10k miles a non maintained contract would be much better IMO.

I always thought cheap lease deals were supported by strong residuals.....
