Not worth it !! Are you serious.

a) It won't break down
b) It will drive OK
c) It's VERY cheap
d) Fully warrantied
e) 10,000 miles per year is sufficient

I'd like to see you try and run a new car for less per month, even if it's not a class leader.

I hate the way you try to save people money and show them an offer and they vote it cold.

Keep trying, you'll hit the right keys some day! :stuck_out_tongue:

I'm what world is a Ford Fiesta better than a Seat Ibiza. You must be wearing a Burberry cap init.

£4k seems a lot to me when you can get a 2014 model for under £9k

I've called and it only comes in solid blue. They will also do 5 door for about the same price as this but with 6k miles. Has anyone seen the solid blue? Does it look crap?

The processing/admin fee is now £298 D:

If you think that leasing companies are making money just on customers... . I dare to say that more than 50% of their profits are based on preferential purchase price and the volume of sale.

And with regards to scratches and bumps, please read this :
BVRLA guidance
and
Which tips

No one would expect you to return 2yrs old car without any blemishes, this is normal wear and tear thing.

OK, I'll change the phrasing, "if it breaks down you'll have a warranty and probably? breakdown cover".

I just got the following offer on a Ford Fiesta Zetec S Red Edition

£477 deposit
£159.31
10k miles
£150 admin fee
2 year lease

Can anyone better that with another company?

Leon FR is also 184bhp in diesel and gets some rather glowing reviews. It's a very good all-round car.

Took the plunge on a different lease the other day and had an email about GAP insurance.

The do I, dont I, question is running around in me head lol, opinions from GAP users appreciated.
Any recommendations where to get solid GAP cover for a decent price feel free and, excuse my ignorance here, but is GAP insurance just for the first initial year of the lease or for the full duration, in this case three years?

Sod that, theres a Volvo hatch for £185... 100x better

just in case someone hasnt already mentioned...the colour of the car is mediterranean blue.

Sorry I missed the words 'to drive' at the end of my sentence. My wife's 1.2TSI DSG is a lease car & so is this deal so it makes no difference really.

If everything so simple and looks great like you saying, why these lease companies even exist?... They are not charietes !
Ps. Who's gonna pay for any bumps or scratches on bodywork or expensive alloy wheels which might happen ?!... I would like a good night sleep every day not worrying about final bill:)

good deal, but 10k miles p.a. not enough for me, unfortunately.

had a Seat Leon FS as a hire car a few months ago. great car and fast as fcuk.

I think my missus will be seriously interested in this nice sporty little motor and they have a decent reputation now SEAT!! Heat from me!!!!

I would be the first to admit that I am not a new car person to me they are to big an expense just to have it fresh from the factory. Having said that I can't understand all these muppets comparing leasing unfavourably with buying second hand. If I was to buy new this is the kind of deal that makes most sense for the modern driver or small family. Some jobs favour a new car (and so do some wives) and if that is the situation you are in then a fixed cost over two years for trouble free motoring can be a very attractive proposition.

Alternatively, visit somewhere like http://www.rogerhotchkisscarsales.co.uk buy their 2012 SEAT IBIZA 1.4 SE for £6795... probably don't loose anyway near as much over 2 years...

Great deal!... Vote on the deal, not whether you like the car (or the parent company).

Some really good deals around on the Hyundai i30 1.6 SE CRDi right now... very similar lease breakdown, in stock etc.... full warranty and 2 year service interval. Just helped a colleague secure one. At these prices you're outpacing the depreciation and you get a new car every 2 years and no road tax to pay, not mot, no hassle...

It's a no-brainer. If took a car loan @ £140/month you'd probably be able to borrow around £4500 max over 3 years (not 2 yrs)... so think what you'd be able to buy with that?... and you'd be left with an old banger at the end to get rid of, tyres, exhausts, brakes need doing,water-pumps going.

I love leasing! (btw)

Cold because it's a Seat Ibiza. Not worth it.

£3600? You can buy a nice car for this money these days which actually will be yours. Even after 2 years you can sell it for £3000. I can bet the insurance to srive a new sport car is expensive too.

Why is it called coupe? It should be hatch. Clearly doesnt look like a coupe

Cold,

Looks incredibly cheap and plastic inside. Would feel embarrassed taking my gran to Morrison's

Are you aware that a lot of leases come directly from main dealers, so have the main dealer number plates? No? Well, today you learned this :smiley: Sometimes you see Arval, Jardines etc, but quite a lot don't have these on them.

Shame it's not 5 door or I'd be in, heat for the deal.

Not really. Mine was a 2008 Feb registered Titanium X spec on a 2007 plate with only 23K miles on the clock and one owner. It had 7 Ford service stamps when it should have had only 4 given the mileage.
In early 2012 when I bought it the cheapest used Mk4 Titanium X Mondeo on Autotrader with anything under 50K mileage was £9K+ (keep in mind this spec brand new was £27K). At the time this model came with Satnav, heated full leather electric seats, keyless start, self-levelling light-activated headlamps, quickclear screens, 9 speaker stereo with a separate subwoofer under the driver's seat (this really kicks ass!!) etc. I haven't had any problems except for routine servicing and brakes through 40K miles of driving over the past 3 years, it is a fantastic car on the motorway and the 2.0 TDI engine regularly returns 60 mpg . I'm getting 40-45 mpg in town. Do not regret buying it one bit except for the depreciation as there are many used ex-fleet cars. I recently went in a Mk4 taxi which had 225K miles on the clock, the driver told me that all he had done was routine maintenance though the DMF was making some noises by that time.

I made the mistake of buying a used MB 2007 E220 CDi with only 55K on the clock just before the Mondeo. It had full MBSH. The engine light came on within 2 weeks of buying it, booked a visit to the dealer immediately and the car went into limp mode on the way and after a few miles broke down. Had to be towed to the dealer. He kept it for a week but couldn't diagnose the problem .Thankfully I was able to get a full refund for the car after I explained to him I was on the verge of losing my job without a car (was commuting to Horsham from London) - one of those rare decent dealers.
A friend of mine who also had a MK4 Mondeo suggested I go for one as it had been utterly reliable for him. It is a really nice car, in fact felt better to drive on the motorway than the E220d. Shame about the depreciation.

It's not easy to get a decent used car for £3600 - by that I mean low mileage and in good mechanical condition. Unless you're in the car business / close with someone in the car business / know someone selling their own car.

Over £3600 pounds + £140 a month for RENTING a buttom of the barrel Seat Ibiza..no thanks.ice cold.you can actually BUY and OWN a decent used car with just £3600.and sell it for £2500 after 2 years..not to mention the stigma of a rented cheapo car.

True that, Seat are awful, just a poor man's VW

​Exactly!! Some people just simply don't get it.

I'm torn between a lease or buying an old mk2 mr2 and saving the money from leasing on repairs, tax, MOT etc

of course you did

excellent deal, i'd need more miles but that is unbeatable

Let's be honest this is basically a be polo engine
They have come so far in the last 10 years. Nippy little car. Looks fab inside.
I have one of these for work and it's great!
This is a great deal for a new car.
If u want to go and spend 2k on a 07 reg. They spend £2k fixing it every month. Go ahead. Or lease a fab little bit of sporty fun
HOT

Hot from me, seriously hot.

Cash waiting.. :wink:

Cash.. :wink:

Give u £60 for it..

Well there is always someone. When I bought it it had only 23K verified miles with 7 Ford service stamps (not sure what the previous owner was on!), and it was a top of the line Titanium X spec 2.0 TDI registered Feb 2008. Couln't find any car private or dealer-wise with this spec and as low a mileage going for around that price at the time. (the car was actually £7.5K and I added a rather unnecessary extended warranty for £1K, as luck would have it I had no major issues except tyres, brakes etc over the 3 year warranty period).

HOT

Considering this, hot!

I need at least 15K
Why are all these deals 10K :disappointed:

Damn my commute..

I had one of these, great car but fuel economy on long runs was awful at around 34mpg... Voted hot though

I agree too but I don't get the comment about the Zetec S being more usable? My ST is a perfect daily driver and the difference in fuel economy is negligible. The only downsides would be the harsh ride and a lack of DSG option.

No.... Your first comment didn't bother me. Just sayin' if you add some justification you might get on better and avoid people thinking you're a troll.

So is it £3869.59 total?
Do you pay the admin fee upfront? £658.79 (418.79 + 240) upfront seems a bit steep

That's a bit more insightful. At least based on your previous under the bridge comment.

I got it from Leasing Options. They don't have a comparable deal on their web site at the moment though.

Where did u get your fiesta from?

I own an Ibiza FR SC 2.0 albeit diesel, excellent car with the only downsides for me are the ride is quite harsh in FR spec and the boot on the SportsCoupe leaks when you open it - not an issue with the regular 3/5dr.

Think of it as an A1/Mk5 Polo mashup with some Spanish design thrown in.. great car.

Very hot deal

It's gone hot anyway so I don't see the problem.

I hate the way you try to save people money and show them an offer and they vote it cold.

What an arsey comment to make. Moron

I'm what world is a Ford Fiesta better than a Seat Ibiza. You must be wearing a Burberry cap init.

hot deal
thanks

1.8k a year?

My pinto 6 year old cost 1k, been going fine for 4 years just MKT, service and new breakpads. 400 a year and can sell for scrap when it dies.

Nearly £4k to drive a seat ibiza for 20000 miles over 2 years and you have to give it back? Lol

Ok, I recently drove a Seat Ibiza and it was crap. It was a 1.4 sport model and it was totally lacking performance and made a lot of noise in the process. I looked up online reviews and they all confirmed it is indeed a noisy engine. It also did not feel anywhere near as good to drive as my Fiesta, I'm talking about handling.

Does that satisfy you?

Agreed.

Paying 37% of the price of a car over 2 years is a reasonable enough deal - but not red hot.

I'm awaiting delivery of an Audi A4 1.4 TFSI thats costing £4,775 over 2 years for 5,000 miles. If I do 10,000 miles instead, excess mileage charges bring it to £5,495.

This is a car that'd cost £22,371 through Broker4Cars - giving a total cost of under 25% of the price of the car over 2 years. Bearing in mind, this was an honored misprice - but similar deals pop up every now and again if you're patient.

I have this exact car on lease. Paid similar price to this 6 months ago.
The engine is great but it's a tiny car inside so make sure you test drive first. Probably OK if you're under 6 foot.
I've done 5k miles in 6 months and it's not broken down yet but I'm glad I leased it. It's starting to make some odd noises from the rear brakes and front suspension. Engine is also struggling to start up from cold.
I'd be really unimpressed if I'd bought it.
Not a great car if you want something that handles well through the bends. If you're small enough and just using it as a runaround though it's a good deal.

If you want to post an honest opinion, that's fine. But without any evidence, I.e from your own experience or a review your comment seems flippant and not one which contributes.

Put it this way: I didn't look at your comment and think 'my gosh that man knows his cars, I'm glad he posted his honest review, it opened my eyes'.

Doesn't seem too bad .
could anyone recommend a company that do the full package ie car,road tax,insurance etc etc
My wife has been told about the car leasing scheme the NHS provide but were not keen as it reduces her pension and tax contributions.
she is a district nurse so would need a generous mileage allowance i have looked at the peugeot just add fuel but its quite dear.
Thanks for any info (if any :smiley: )

What's trolling about giving my honest opinion?

Careful what you wish for. He is clearly flat out contributing to the community. Oh no wait. Just trolling.

You certainly paid too much for the Mondeo. Always do from places like that. They probably bought if off someone for 5k then sold it you for 8.5k lol.

Another way of looking at it over the full term is £34.80/week or £4.97/day.
Where could you hire this car for that?

I'm glad at least one person knows the facts!

It's almost a year since I made the deal, I was also told it was the last one which was backed up by it being taken off their web site and re-listed at a higher price. For anybody that cares, I got it from Leasing Options, £135pm fully maintained. Who knows if they will make a similar offer this year...

Im fed up with the same old lease verses buying comments ....its simply horses for courses and not what hukd is about. Can anyone find a product cheaper it doesnt matter if its a car or a cake tin.. if not its a hot deal.... I love hukd but this constant repeating of the same old comments is wearing a bit thin....

​Hey, hcc27 was just trying to make a serious point. There's no need for moronic comments.

Have the 1.2 105 tsi in my skoda fabia. Great engine and paired with the dsg it's very smooth and quick when you need it

But a new 1.0 basic version for only £7300

The 1.2 TSI is a great little engine.

Are there any good lease deals which will take p/x?

Do some research about problems with 1.2 or 1.4 turbocharged petrol engines from VW... never ending pages with results on google - you will know what I mean !

HaHa 8.5k on a Mondeo from Car Giant. That's your problem.

Great deal. No idea why people are so negative.. Makes you think twice before posting a deal which is a shame. Heat added for a good deal.

I have the 1.2TSI model and I love it. Lots of punch for a 1.2, fun to drive and cheap to run. Using it whilst I save for something better (and a deposit for a house!). Some reviews suggest that the 1.4 isn't worth paying extra for, I test drove it (didn't really get chance to properly open it up on a road), but I couldn't tell much difference between the 2.

If you are after an Ibiza FR in the near future, the new face-lifted model is coming out soon (I think..), and pretty much bridges the gap between this and the Leon in terms of Technology.

Happy to answer and questions on the car, but great car for the money!

​I'm afraid autotrader is awash with '07 Mondeos with sub-90,000 miles on clock from dealers for well under £2000. Even more reason to lease...

The best thing about all these lease deals is they are helping to flood the second hand market with better value second hand cars when the leases are up and of course its good for the the government because it gives an artificial boost to the economic figures too.

Lease will be a good option if anybody considering this car, as 1.2 engine will not last very long...low emisions and fuel consumption stated by manufacturer quaranteed - yes, we can trust VW :smiley:

Comment....links??

Okay. Except you're not voting on if you like the car or not. You're voting on if this is a deal or not, can you find one cheaper? If not **** off.

A. TSI engines are rated highly
B. 10000 miles is reasonable
C. It's VW underneath
D. Upfront cost and monthly payments are reasonable

This is at the very least s warm deal

It's an Audi

Through brokers4cars you can save £4,012.55 off buying one.

Why didn't you post the deal then......oh negative one?

Seems no bad, there's a £280.80 processing fee to add.

I fancied the estate version but way too expensive. Best engine in this deal.

Looks hot to me though I'm not a car nut.

In*

I meant to saw for only slightly more but can't find how to edit on the app. Ibiza is overpriced.

Seems to get a good review from Auto Express..

http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/seat/ibiza/59474/seat-ibiza-fr-12-tsi

There's not many deals around for 10k miles with such low deposit and low monthly payment.

What an absolutely brilliant find! Very reasonable deposit and 10k miles a year. If I was in the market for a good looking sporty hatch with loads of tech, a good amount of poke AND very decent economy, I'd be snapping this up!
