Car Lease

[Pudgie]

I'm sure there was some good advice on this the last time it was mentioned but I'm ducked if I can find it. Looking at a new A class, Juke or a 1 series to lease but the only time I've had experience with leasing is a business lease someone has a work.

 

What's the best way to go about organising it? Local leasing options, dealerships or online? I'm guessing playing one off against another is the best way to get a good deal but what will they knock down easily and what are they more reluctant to?

I used http://www.contracthireandleasing.com/

 

Don't be too fussy and then play them off against eachother.

 

Bargains to be had like.

How much of a bargain? Nae too fussed about what we get, as long as it's roomy enough and has a decent interior.

Millertime and rocket had a 'fascinating' debate on leasing in 2014.

I'm paying £107 a month for my brand new (entry level) Italian super car.

 

First quote I got was £340 a month, but I was flexible, dropped a model and got my bargain.

 

Big rewards for a little bit of effort, I spent an hour or so messaging every broker I could see with a copy'n'paste message.

A Fiat 500 iirc?

 

That's pretty fucking good. I've got a list of cars nae handy that I'd take so I might give scatter tactics a go.

Yeah.

 

Wanted the Abarth, but settled with the sport.

I was close to leasing through nationwidevehiclecontracts. But instead got a £10k loan from the bank with a decent interest rate and bought a 2 year old 2.0 Astra with nice big 19" alloys. Think in a few years I'll be happier with something to show for my cash instead of having to hand it back.

 

That being said, leasing is certainly a road I'd go down for a second car, good to know you can play dealerships off against each other.

Any magic words in your message for future reference?

[dave_min]

It said something like:

 

"2 years, 10k pa, best price. Will accept similar model"

I ken you're shagging the receptionist and I've got proof. Give's a good deal or I'll tell the wife.

[Pudgie]

Oh @@dave_min min. Was it a 9 month up front? Looking for as little initial outlay as possible but nae sure if pushing up the deposit helps massively.

[dave_min]

I got 3 months, the less deposit you pay the higher your monthly is gonna be.

 

Your overall cost will be roughly the same though.

Cracking cheers! I've got plenty time to play with, nae looking for anything desperately so hopefully get a good deal.

 

 

Cheers again!

Would recommend https://www.gateway2lease.com/as well as Dave_min's link to compare.

The missus just got an SUV from there a couple of weeks ago. Unlike most, they allow a rolling lease after the initial period, so once the 2 years or whatever is up, you can just pay monthly and return it once you've saved a deposit for the next car. Adding full maintenance is only around £10 per month more.

They also seem to have your preferred cars on offer or in stock for quick delivery.

Great deal on the Audi A4!

Does it have a heated rear window?

It's a must for me as you can warm your hands when you push it in the winter.
