Golf R Advice?

[theworld]

I've wanted a Golf R for a while now and missed out on all the deals going around a few months ago. I want the manual with the standard spec except for the nice bright blue paint. The best deals I can find are:

- Lease deal - Gateway2Lease 24month deal for £283 per month on a 6+23 deal, so its a total of £8,675 over 2 years.

- Buy deal - £27,680. Assuming I can sell for £20k in 2 years, the cost would be £7,680. So about £1k cheaper, but I would need to consider interest costs on a loan.

Ideally I want to lease as I would need a pretty big loan for the buy deal. Has anyone seen any better deals around?

Cheers!

I'd go with the lease. With the amount of used R's that will hit the market in the next year-18 months values are potentially going to take a hit. The lease deal is a known quantity no risk, where as buying could leave you with a car you can't sell due to the volumes on the market

Lease is the safest option

There is a serious question over the residuals of these given the big numbers hitting the road. I would be surprised if they held onto their value as well as the Mk6 R which had much more restricted supply.

The figures you quote are for splud paint and don't inclue the admin fee of £180 so the actual cost of the lease will be around £700 more.

I think you can find better lease deals.

That doesn't mean much with the spec!

Good point

There are some others there that look cheaper too.

I think the latest deals are finished.

Thanks for the advice and for pointing out other thread. Ive dropped a reply to the guy who mentioned the deal for £205pm. It would work out much better than the one I found, so hopefully he confirms where its from and the deal is still live!

The quote I mentioned above did include the £180 admin fee (£1698 up front, £180admin and £283.19 for 23 months is £8,391). The £205 deal would be about £7200 (and its DSG!), so hoping thats still going!

Phoned him and it was circa £2,600 down (inclusive of VAT) and then £828 per month inc VAT.

Not as good as I'd hoped

Typing error! £282.

No satnav but did include metallic paint.

I'm on an early deal. 5 door Manual with MET Paint - £2400 down and £205.19 per month as a guide...

The BEST deal I could find today was £2,601.54 down and £289.06 per month with £180 fee on a 5 door, DSG & metallic paint.

At the point where a PCP might work best?

FYI, this car will be delivered in May! PM me for details if anyone is interested. No, I don't even work remotely in the same industry

Difficult to say as residuals probably going to be a lot worse since all the lease deals came out.
