Vote cold, I managed to get this deal, but they only had 137 per month and above, 2 weeks of application forms and being told the car is reserved for me from the start, them going through with a credit check and approving the finance to telling me that senior management decided to give the car to someone else and now can only get the deal at 160 per month (few options included), had to decline as the price kept creeping up and they just gave my car away to another customer. Be warned all..

Do you say the same thing to those that rent a house?

Regarding the scratches and returning it in top condition - this is not entirely true. All respectable lease companies will follow BVRLA (http://www.bvrla.co.uk/) guidelines which allow for a reasonable amount of scratches and bits of damage to the cars. I haven't gone through the rules myself but I am told they are pretty generous. If you are damaging alloys all the time, then maybe you shouldn't be driving. £1500 for bodywork repairs over 2 years is absolutely ridiculous. I think the same goes for servicing - as long as you fit parts that follow guidelines and standards - VW can't say no to warranty requests.
Anyone buying a sporty petrol wont necessarily be doing it for fuel economy. Fuel is fuel - every car needs it! Same for insurance. Road Tax is paid for with lease deals. Who says a youngster has to drive it?
Weak argument.

Perhaps I you should start going on all the other deal threads and do the same?
Mad Max on XBox One for £19.88? Not really £19.88...... as you need to buy the xbox, pay for the electricity to run it, home insurance in case it gets damaged..... :smirk:

Do you get the deposit back at the end of contract?

No. I've changed the post to say upfront as that is more accurate. The cost of £4365.06 is the total cost for 2 years.

Five grand to 'borrow' a car? More money than sense.

Buying a used car for five grand that is worth two grand in three years, breaks down and risks having a major electrical problem? its a calculated risk isn't it?
There are benefits and disadvantages to both approaches to running a car for a couple of years. People have their own preferences, and also very different needs.
I don't think there is really any need to attempt to insult anyone because they have a different opinion, is there?
