Audi A4 1.4TFSI Sport, 2 year lease deal, £118.91 per month, £1800 deposit, £239.99 Admin fee (Business users can take the VAT off that).
I know there are some lease haters and I know a new A4 is just around the corner, but this is an awful lot of car for the money. You can change the mileage if 5000 isn't enough or you can change the deposit to 6 months if you don't have £1800 in your back pocket.
Whatever way you work it out, this is a hot deal IMO.
This *IS* the new A4! It is not the old model - and thus it's a cracking deal!

If you're into driving 8 year old Mondeo's, that's perfectly acceptable.
Everyone has a certain amount of disposable income after their bills, savings and investments are taken care of. Some people like holidays, some like fine dining, some like new cars. Neither of these groupings are in the wrong.
Regarding the leasing v' buying argument, I personally drive 8,000 miles per year so this deal will cost me about £5,200 over the two years.
If I were to buy the car at £24,000 (£26,850 less some discount) and sell it again in two years, I'd probably suffer in excess of £7,000 depreciation.
A 2014 petrol can be had now for £17,000 whilst a low mileage 2012 can be had for £12,000 - so even buying 2 years old and selling after 2 years only represents a saving of £200.
The 2-year old car will have partially worn tyres, need a service sooner and be outside warranty during your final year of ownership.
Of course, you could buy the 4-year old car at £12,000 to start with - but then you're completely outside warranty and, if you still believe this is the way to go, you should start reading this post from the top again :smiley:

Kraken deal 4773 all in! HOAT!
Worth noting that excess mileage will be 7.2p per mile Inc VAT, will likely be cheaper to pay the excess than to take a higher mileage contract.

Yep, I have my Golf R through them. They're really good.
I would strongly recommend anyone looking to buy an Audi to see it in person first. Sounds obvious, but unless it's very cheap, you will be disappointed with the interior quality and interior space compared to BMW and Mercedes equivalents. For example the 3 series and C class are both larger inside than the A4. I went to the show rooms of all three a few weeks ago.

Or £245pm overall with 5,000 miles pa if you're wanting to compare it directly to this A4 deal.

Great deal for this size of car. If you are looking for a lease and this type of car, and are not fussy about the particular vehicle, then price wise I doubt there is better out there at the moment.

The problem is that majority of us are very very fussy whether we admit it or not... :wink:
