Another lease deal I'm afraid, but one I think is good for those looking for a large estate for those with families or just who like the space! Not going for it myself unfortunately as I've just ordered a VW Tiguan on similar terms, and it's a bit big for me.
It's the Business edition of the Skoda Superb Estate, that comes with front and rear parking sensors and sat nav.
Just over £5k for 2 years of motoring.
Skoda Superb New Model 2.0 TDI SE Business Edition 5Dr

£240 admin fee
23 x £116.72
8k miles pa
Total £5,331 for 2 years in a very large car.

Yawn... Its actually good news that some people still have the old Skoda prejudices, as that keeps the prices down for the rest of us. I changed my ageing '05 plate BMW 745Li for an '11 plate Superb Elegance estate in an almost cash-free deal, when the Superb was just a year old. The Superb in considerably better equipped than the 7-series was - 4 zone climate, heated leather, memory keys (the seats/radio/mirrors etc. reset depending on who's key unlocked the doors), swappable rhd/lhd headlights and cornering lights, etc etc. It's considerably more reliable (and anyway, it was under warranty) and more economical, and faster too despite having less than half the cc. The clincher for me was that even with a six footer driving, there was still more rear legroom than in the BMW, even though the Beemer was the long-wheelbase model. It's quiet, comfortable, refined, and everything I could want from it. So when I see people say "Skoda 'Superb' - lol', I'm quite happy to lol back :wink:

The best deals for more mileage are
10000 24 months £938.16 + 23 x £156.36 + £199 +VAT = £5,680.13
15000 24 months £1,059.78 + 23 x £176.63 + £199 +VAT = £6,385.52
Also if you want a lower deposit then the following spreads the extra out over 23 months and costs only £23 more.
8000 24 months £880.68 + 23 x £146.78 + £199 +VAT = £5,346.74

Eh? I have ran a Skoda through my business, if you're not in the business of trying to appeal flash to morons that fall for that sort of thing then they are ideal. I had more comments about my prices when running an X3 in 3 months than 3 years of using a Octavia 4x4 estate.

U still talking about car right ? Coz it doesnt sound like.
COOOOLD, you can just buy 4-5years old Superb estate for the same $ outright. and you get to keep it how long you want it for, and it wont really drop in value that much more so you can still get some money back if u decide to sell it.
+no worries that it gets scratched/dented & dont have to watch milage limits.

Its fair to say you don't get lease deals, and its just not for you. I lease currently, I needed a larger family car - so I started looking at 3 - 4 year old octavia's and a loan for that would cost me not much less than leasing a brand new car, in warranty tax included, problem free motoring. I actually like cars even if i had a £500 fiesta I would still worry about it being scratched and dented - that's just how I am, so a brand new car is probably not for you.
As for the mileage, mine is for 10k a year - so far i'm going ok, so no major worries - although it is a consideration.
Mada06 to 229mel
29 Jul 152#29
Incorrect. The cheapest 5 year old (you said 4 but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt) Skoda Superb on autotrader is £5299, is a poverty spec 1.6 and has 147k miles on the clock!
What happens when things start to go wrong? I guarantee you this lease would cost less over the 2 years to run than the example above.

A great deal ...BUT, who wants to Rent a car for 2 years ? For Joe Public out there you would be a complete idiot for renting a car when you could be investing in one you own for the same price. Great if you have a car allowance or are living here for 2 years but for 99% of the population rentals are pointless, ok they are new and shiny and the monthly payment is low but after 2 years you end up with NOTHING. Best to save up and buy one you'll own.

mail28 to TANDY
29 Jul 15#41
Most people do not have the money to buy a car. A lot will buy PCP deals which is just an expensive lease with an option to buy, or they will get a bank loan.
And by the time you get bored 3 years into your 5 year bank loan, you will sell it, settle your loan, get a new loan and get a new car... i.e. you have just rented it but you also have all the hassle of trying to sell a 3 year old car, having to stick new tyres on it, repair any problems it has, etc.
brookysm to TANDY
29 Jul 152#44
I have no problem renting a car for a couple of years if the price is right, just remember that the 5 year old car you 'invest' in is a potential ticking cash cow time bomb. Lease cars are new, they are covered under warranty so you know you aren't going to face any nasty surprises unless it is of your own doing, you don't know in your 5 year old car if the turbo is going to pack up or the timing belt is going to snap tomorrow - either way you could be left with the choice of paying a big bill or selling the car for peanuts!
You pays your money and you takes your choice....

Tandy I'd terms like 100% of your statistics are made up on the spot.

Flyingzard
29 Jul 15#37
marginally maybe but the DSG box in a Diesel is in my opinion is the better option as it awesome (own it in a VRS Octavia) and being a diesel you'll be changing gears more often than a petrol due to the obvious lower RPM.
Dedcon
29 Jul 15#40
I have owned cars and I've leased cars . None of the cars I have owned have been new and when I've sold them they've depreciated no end. With a lease car you get a brand new car, with a warranty, over a fixed term. I currently have a Golf over 3 years that ends in December when I hand it back and walk away empty handed. I then have to decide do I lease a new car again with a 3 year warranty or do I buy a car that is older and so probably has little warranty. I think it's a tough choice. The downside with leasing is once you're in the deal you can't get out and you need to find the money for it every month.

I own a (2011) Superb estate with the 1.8 petrol turbo, which I struggle *hard* to get more than 40mpg from no matter how careful I am. I have a pal with the 2.0td engine (albeit in the hatch version) from the same year, and when borrowing that I've achieved 60 without even trying too hard. Now that diesel has fallen to the same price as petrol (or petrol has risen to diesel, depending on who you believe :smiley: ) it's even harder to justify the better acceleration of the petrol car - when my Superb is retired, the oil-burner will have to replace it

Thanks for posting, OP.
It's an old post I know, but I found it on a search as I'm looking to take out a lease deal in a month or so after I've had this horrible frame removed from my broken leg which I've had to live with/cope with for the last 6 months.
To those who poo poo the idea of leasing and say 'invest' in a car by purchasing outright, I'm one of a myriad of examples of people to whom leasing is absolutely ideal. I resigned from a job of over 10 years with a company car to move into a different job and shortly after, broke my leg. So I now find myself with practically no cash and am looking for some wheels asap when I get this thing removed from my leg in about 4 weeks time. I've never leased before, and it's my circumstances that led me to consider it at all. But the more I think about it and read about it, the more I think to myself why I never thought about this before. I can't really think of any negatives!
Anyway, back to this deal and this car/the topic of cars. I've not test driven this car but not being a badge snob and having owned a Skoda Octavia VRS for 5 years a few years back before the company car policy came into play, I know how good Skoda's are. That car was the best car I ever owned. I did 130k miles in it and it still sounded like new. Amazing vehicle! And I had every single added extra that was available for it because I bought it from a dealership and it had been their demo vehicle, so I was very spoilt! I took out a 5 year loan to enable me to afford to buy it.
The next car I'm looking for is an estate, mainly as I've got kids and also because at 37yo I feel like I'm getting old so it feels like the right style of vehicle to go for :-)
So I've got a couple of questions for those who can help:
- When you take out a lease deal, can you specify add-ons? Or can you only apply and take out a lease deal exactly as it's advertised on the lease companies website?
- I've found a few lease company websites from searching on HUKD. But if anyone has any recommendations for good companies for me to talk to, please could you post their links?
- As mentioned, I'm pretty sure I'm going to go for an estate. I've so far considered and shortlisted the following;
- Skoda Superb Estate
- Skoda Octavia VRS Estate (I noticed today that the Octavia is, from memory, group 23 insurance compared to group 18 for the Superb. Both 2.0 diesels, but with a difference of about 0.5 seconds 0-62. But seems like quite a jump insurance-wise).
- Audi A4 Estate
- Seat Leon Estate (my mate's got a hatchback and it's a wicked car, and I only found out today that they do an estate, so I definitely want to test drive one of those).
Anything else I should be looking at?
draganov464 to Steve2377

1. can generally add options, the lease i took out was working out quite expensive at around £7-8 per 100 in cost the dealer reckoned. Still didn't stop me adding many options...
2. I have been using this company for my Octavia VRS: http://www.simpsonsskoda.co.uk/new-car-offers/pch-offers/ The base price was pretty good for me, but by time I added the DSG gearbox, heated seats, parking sensors, Tinted windows etc it started to add up: £270 per month. I was feeling indulgent though and didn't mind the extra costs for those things.
I've been very happy with the company and apart from build time of 12 weeks then no complaints at all. They even home delivered 200 miles for free for some reason should have been about £150-200 i think!
3. VRS estate diesel 184 is very nice to drive, great spacious cabin, boots great. There are some owner reviews complaining about road noise. I've not found it an issue at all. But the suspension is overly firm on roads which are not well surfaced (many in my neck of the woods). I would seriously recommend you test drive. I personally would consider the Skoda octavia scout: http://www.simpsonsskoda.co.uk/new-car-offers/scout-pch/
But don't get me wrong if a sporty estate is what you want then the VRS is a great car, was just unpleasant for the wife whilst pregnant over the bumps :smiley:
Steve2377
24 Jan 16#70
UPDATE!
I've completely changed my mind regarding the car. I've decided to ditch the idea of an estate, feel like I'm too young for an estate and decided I want an Audi A4 saloon, diesel. Undecided on which one atm.
If anyone can point me in the right direction for best places to lease, and offer any other helpful advice it would be appreciated.
Cheers!

Personally I wouldn't get Suberb anyway, but I'm just debunking nonsense posted by 229mel.
And by the time you get bored 3 years into your 5 year bank loan, you will sell it, settle your loan, get a new loan and get a new car... i.e. you have just rented it but you also have all the hassle of trying to sell a 3 year old car, having to stick new tyres on it, repair any problems it has, etc.
You pays your money and you takes your choice....
The general rule of thumb is if it appreciates, buy it. If it depreciates, rent it.
'Superb'...lol
Cars (true classics aside) are no more of an investment than toilet paper.
Myself, despite being more expensive I prefer Andrex because I'm worth it.
You better stick with the 1 ply Tesco blue and white stripe - better investment for sure.
The reviews for this car are very impressive.
96% ain't bad though, what car gives you the same or more than the manufacturers mpg in reality?
thank you ...
It's an old post I know, but I found it on a search as I'm looking to take out a lease deal in a month or so after I've had this horrible frame removed from my broken leg which I've had to live with/cope with for the last 6 months.
To those who poo poo the idea of leasing and say 'invest' in a car by purchasing outright, I'm one of a myriad of examples of people to whom leasing is absolutely ideal. I resigned from a job of over 10 years with a company car to move into a different job and shortly after, broke my leg. So I now find myself with practically no cash and am looking for some wheels asap when I get this thing removed from my leg in about 4 weeks time. I've never leased before, and it's my circumstances that led me to consider it at all. But the more I think about it and read about it, the more I think to myself why I never thought about this before. I can't really think of any negatives!
Anyway, back to this deal and this car/the topic of cars. I've not test driven this car but not being a badge snob and having owned a Skoda Octavia VRS for 5 years a few years back before the company car policy came into play, I know how good Skoda's are. That car was the best car I ever owned. I did 130k miles in it and it still sounded like new. Amazing vehicle! And I had every single added extra that was available for it because I bought it from a dealership and it had been their demo vehicle, so I was very spoilt! I took out a 5 year loan to enable me to afford to buy it.
The next car I'm looking for is an estate, mainly as I've got kids and also because at 37yo I feel like I'm getting old so it feels like the right style of vehicle to go for :-)
So I've got a couple of questions for those who can help:
- When you take out a lease deal, can you specify add-ons? Or can you only apply and take out a lease deal exactly as it's advertised on the lease companies website?
- I've found a few lease company websites from searching on HUKD. But if anyone has any recommendations for good companies for me to talk to, please could you post their links?
- As mentioned, I'm pretty sure I'm going to go for an estate. I've so far considered and shortlisted the following;
- Skoda Superb Estate
- Skoda Octavia VRS Estate (I noticed today that the Octavia is, from memory, group 23 insurance compared to group 18 for the Superb. Both 2.0 diesels, but with a difference of about 0.5 seconds 0-62. But seems like quite a jump insurance-wise).
- Audi A4 Estate
- Seat Leon Estate (my mate's got a hatchback and it's a wicked car, and I only found out today that they do an estate, so I definitely want to test drive one of those).
Anything else I should be looking at?
2. I have been using this company for my Octavia VRS: http://www.simpsonsskoda.co.uk/new-car-offers/pch-offers/ The base price was pretty good for me, but by time I added the DSG gearbox, heated seats, parking sensors, Tinted windows etc it started to add up: £270 per month. I was feeling indulgent though and didn't mind the extra costs for those things.
I've been very happy with the company and apart from build time of 12 weeks then no complaints at all. They even home delivered 200 miles for free for some reason should have been about £150-200 i think!
3. VRS estate diesel 184 is very nice to drive, great spacious cabin, boots great. There are some owner reviews complaining about road noise. I've not found it an issue at all. But the suspension is overly firm on roads which are not well surfaced (many in my neck of the woods). I would seriously recommend you test drive. I personally would consider the Skoda octavia scout: http://www.simpsonsskoda.co.uk/new-car-offers/scout-pch/
But don't get me wrong if a sporty estate is what you want then the VRS is a great car, was just unpleasant for the wife whilst pregnant over the bumps :smiley:
I've completely changed my mind regarding the car. I've decided to ditch the idea of an estate, feel like I'm too young for an estate and decided I want an Audi A4 saloon, diesel. Undecided on which one atm.
If anyone can point me in the right direction for best places to lease, and offer any other helpful advice it would be appreciated.
Cheers!
