Personal lease deal fiasco and is it legal ?
Discussion
Hi guys getting really pis
ed off with the advertised personal lease deals that turn out to be anything but that.
They are advertised as a personal deal but when you try to actually get the deal it comes with typical small print like.............
"RESTRICTIONS: Personal Contract Hire offers are only available to Company Directors or those in receipt of a Personal Car Allowance" !
How can this be a personal deal ? I would like a personal deal on a mini cooper for the wife, but only if can meet the above criteria.

So again i ask....how is this a personal deal when it does not apply to me.
I have a personal lease deal myself on a very nice Scirocco R which came with no such RESTRICTIONS.
It also pises me off that the main culprits for this fiasco are BMW and their subsidiary BMW MINI.
I stand to be corrected but i thought recent legislation states that car manufacturers must offer the same rates for Business / Personal lease deals with the
only difference being the vat on a personal deal.
....how are BMW and BMW MINI getting away with this ?
VW recently addressed this very issue and now offer all lease deals exactly the same but for the vat.
AS DO NEARLY ALL OF THE OTHER CAR MANUFACTURERS.
I ask the question to the more knowledgeable of you out there.....IS THIS LEGAL....... and if not how can we, who are all out for great lease deals, be they
business or personal change things ?

Then dont go for it?
There was some serious thought put into that answer.
I will not being taking out a lease with BMW mini until they follow other car manufacturers and offer "proper" personal deals without
restrictions.
If you read the post I was asking how do BMW get away with this, not should I take the deal
