Amazing spec - satnav, heated leather seats, panoramic roof, bluetooth+USB, parking sensors, dual zone climate control, cruise and speed limit control, 7" touch screen & more.
Choose the "custom" option on the nationalvehiclesolutions website to get the 1+17 deal - this means you pay 1 month up front as the deposit and 17 monthly payments - £166.52 deposit & £166.52 PM and only £199 admin fee, plus free delivery.
It should be noted that this deal is identical to the Vehicle savers one but with a lower admin fee - £199 compared to £360 at Vehicle savers.
Credit checks usually take them a few hours, standard colour is solid white and the estimate delivery will be July.
Credit is due to Karlie88 who found the original deal on vehicle savers and EvilGazebo who spotted this on national vehicle solutions, I'm posting the deal on their behalf for HUKD users who haven't read the comments in the original deal.
Peugeot are advertising this as having 208hp for the 2015 model compared with 200hp for the older versions.

I'm gonna have a look now for the idiots who can't handle it. See what I can buy for £3,200 that does 0-60mph in under 7 seconds, does 47mpg or more, costs £130 or less a year to tax, and has a 5 Star NCAP rating.
Oh wait, it's done 160,000 miles. Oh wait it costs £225 to tax a year. Oh wait it only does 42mpg. Oh wait it's only got 4 NCAP stars instead of 5. Oh wait it costs a million pounds to service and will need an MOT doing. Hmm, it's also a 12 year old BMW, people will probably think you're a drug dealer and probably not even a very good one.
Oh wait, it only does 0-60 in 7.5 seconds. Oh wait it only does 33mpg. Oh wait it costs £290 a year to tax. Oh wait it'll need MOT every year. Oh wait this model is so old it doesn't even have an NCAP rating.
0-60 in 6.4 seconds? Check! Oh wait, it only does 31mpg. Oh wait it costs £290 a year to tax. Oh wait it'll need MOT every year. Oh wait this model is so old it doesn't even have an NCAP rating. And it needs a load of work doing. We nailed the speed though!
0-60 in 6.9? Check! Oh wait it only does 34mpg. Oh wait it costs £265 a year to tax. Oh wait it'll need MOT every year. Oh wait it only has 4 NCAP stars.
****! Sorry, I give up.

This sort of thread really gets me moist :smile:
For those who understand lease deals: Great deal, right? Might not be a suitable car for you personally, but no denying the financials! Good work, have a gold star. Feel content that you aren't being completely backward in refusing to understand differing points of view.
For those who DON'T understand leasing (and that appears to be a LOT of you):
* This is a NEW car, not used
* Depreciation on a new car bought outright will be MORE than what the lease cost is over 18 months on this car.
* No registration fee to pay on the car's first year of tax
* No VED to pay on new leased car
* Used cars a bit older will need MOT
* Both old and new will need a service!
* Old cars ... ALSO DEPRECIATE! Good god -no surprise there, so don't ignore it
* Buying a used car for £3-£4k requires £3-£4k of cash up-front (i.e. NOW!). That is money you need to either save, or tie up in your vehicle. A risk - especially if your valuation of your car is not what someone else is prepared to pay. It works both ways, however!
* Leased cars (new, I might add!) spread costs out over the term of the lease. This is called cash-flow. This is fundamental to business and life in general. Smooth cash flow, means a smooth life. No bottle-necks.
* Both new/old need insurance
* Old car bought outright means as much mileage as you like, but increased likelihood of repairs required for incremental mileage
* You can sell your used/owned outright car at any time. A lease is a contract. A contract is legally binding. They're not easy to get out of. Buyer beware.
* Both cars can make use of GAP insurance.
* Used cars are not the most recent model in many cases. Some people don't care and view cars as a simple tool. Others may require to be in a newer vehicle for work purposes. People have different wants and needs.
Golden rules for everyone:
If you can't afford the payments, don't do it!
If you don't want a NEW car, don't do it!
If you want to take the risks on buying a used car and the associated benefits of it being reliable and costing next to nil to maintain, before selling onwards, don't do it!
If you don't understand, don't do it!
Platinum rules for everyone:
If it appreciates, BUY IT.
If it depreciates, RENT IT.
n.b. there are occasional exceptions to the rule. Cars are not really one of those exceptions.
If you're still unsure:
Think of a holiday. You spend £2000+. At the end of it, you don't get to keep the hotel to sell on. Nor the swimming pool, aircraft or airport. You have nothing to show for it except a tan if you're lucky. You have had the benefit of enjoyment.
A car is not dissimilar. Lease deals are great for people who want new cars and don't want to tie up vast sums of cold, hard cash up-front. Plain and simple facts. Easy.
If you STILL don't get it:
Log out, and don't try and reply. Ever. On a lease deal. There is no hope for you.
tldr; these deals get hot for a reason. If you don't understand, put some time aside and try to, before spouting utter nonsense and garbage.

Life lesson:
2nd hand cars are cheaper to buy than new ones.
Sure glad I browsed on here tonight, that gem might have passed me by.

£3 for a sandwich?! And what do you have to show for it at the end? Trapped wind...
Go and buy a decent used sandwich from a colleague at work for a fraction of the price. Granary bread tends to be the most reliable and filling...
Good deal if you can get it for under £3k, the deposit seams lot larger though which may not suit everyone.

Can only see the 5k option and cost is similar to most other brokers...unless I'm missing something?

^^ Your right, you need to get a personal quote, got mine a couple of weeks back now for £145 a month. fee's took it just over 3K mark actually, just double checked. I think its a slightly lower spec than OP's though.? The low deposit on these deals appeals more to me as well.

Would you mind posting in more detail please? What payment profile etc.
Spec should be standard as per Peugeot website for the GTi Prestige 3dr.

Sure, Haven't really got any other details than a quote for 6 x 142 and 17 x 142.73 + £150 admin = 3428.24 Gateway couldn't confirm if Pan sunroof came as standard, and I'm still waiting to pull the trigger on one of these deals.

The pan roof and satnav comes as standard on the Prestige version, but not the on the standard Peugeot 208GTI.

BTW: Somehow, I worked it out at under 3K for the rental?? Duhh!! I must have been confusing it with another of the many deals I'm looking at. I'm also looking at / considering the LEON FR deal on Gateway. although this deal may be the one! :smile:

Thought so which is why I asked for more detail. Thank you for the clarification.
