best lease company?

[xcentric]

any thoughts on best lease/pcp company to look at? Ling's seems well-regarded on price, if you remember your sunglasses whilst looking at the site.....

what issues to consider - if any?

plan is 36 month deal, unclear what car yet, for non-vat registerd partnership (i.e. not a ltd co) so probably counts as personal deal.

or is it very car-specific? any that do s/h cars at much cheaper rates - would be happy to start with a 3-year old car....

ta!

Only personal PCP deals rather than business deals (I like new, and regular change....) -- I have always found a little shopping around re Franchised Dealers and a little haggling works well. As you rightly say, Ling also offers some very good deals. Perhaps go for the car you want, print out her deal, and see if a Dealer will better it..? Otherwise, Drive the Deal, though their rates have always been on the high side re. finance.
If you choose a car which will hold its value (German for example) then you will get a better monthly rate compared to a highly specced, but less 'desirable' make which will depreciate like a stone and be worth pittance at the end of the 3 year contract. Mercedes offered me 4.8% APR over 3 years which I felt was a good deal as well as a reasonable part-ex, so I went with them.

Currently leasing a car through Ling. A little eccentric, but thoroughly professional.
Best deals seem to be on cars which are either new, or due a facelift/replacement.

Currently looking at doing a personal lease, been searching on www.contracthireandleasing.com. Site gives plenty of prices, only significant problem is that when it comes to quotes all of the prices are more than the rates they advertise.

Looking for a Qashqai on 3+23 or 3+35, if anyone can do it for less than £200 pcm inc Vat please let me know (plus my neighbour wants one too so you may get two deals!!)
