VWFS flexibility when moving from lease to PCP

[Camelot1971]

My Octavia VRS lease is up in July and I'm considering buying a Polo GTI on PCP as the total discount with scrappage offer is pretty good (I have a Mondeo as a second car).

I think the Polo would be a factory order and the scrappage deal "ends" in April. If I order in the next month or so, does anyone know if VWFS will let me end the lease slightly early with no penalty? If I have to pay, I may as well hold out and see what offers appear in Q2 but I quite fancy a change sooner rather than later!

Cheers

Not yet, will do so though. Just interested in people's experiences

If you terminate the lease early they charge 55% of the remaining months. Not sure about any good will gesture.

The new Polo GTI has been released recently so I'm assuming you're going for one of those.

Does the car need to be registered before the end of April or ordered before the end of April for the scrappage scheme deal.

Yeah, new polo. The + version with a few options is less than £20k with scrappage so it's a good price I think. Car has to be ordered by April, delivered by end of June, so if it was just one month I reckon I could work something out with VWFS. I suppose if they stick to their 55% then I'd have to see if the scrappage deal was going to carry on past April.
