Where to get a lease deal?

[markizok]

Hi Guys

I popped into VW today and I am discussing a private lease deal with them - have any of you done this direct with them or do you use a 3rd party?

I have googled it and there are so many options i have no idea where to start and which are reputable?

Cheers
Mark

The Golf GTE Advance

You need to speak to the fleet department rather than the retail sales team. Take a look at the contracthireandleasing website to see which dealers are offering the best rates and then ring around a few.

I ended up getting the best lease deal on a Golf Gti from a chap called Rob at VW in Bradford. However, Crewe VW also offered a decent rate.

My dealer didn't charge any additional arrangement fee which most brokers do.

Ive had a look and LeaseHub looks to be winning atm, just need to have a proper look later this week and work out how to shift my current car!

Vertu or CVL were cheapest for a GTE Advance when I was looking in August. But really it was just a case of trawling https://www.contracthireandleasing.com/ and https://www.whatcar.com/car-leasing/ and getting quotes. Many are actually just the leasing department of various VW dealer groups.

I stick it all in a quick spreadsheet to work out total cost - admin fees vary, and you're not always charged the same overall for 3, 6 or 9 months deposit.

edit: oh, and you'll have plenty of time to work out what to do with your current car - 6 month lead time on these now (a mate ordered one today)!
