I'll be the first to admit I don't know much about these car leasing deals. I don't even drive (yet)
However, having a look around over the last couple of days comparing prices on insurance and leasing etc, I stumbled across this deal which seems ok for infrequent drivers or people just doing small commutes. (Less than 5000miles per year)
Total over the 18months £2112.22 or the equivalent of £117.35 monthly.
The car may not be to everyone's style but I don't think I've yet seen a cheaper way of getting a brand new car on the road for so little money.

Must be tired of hearing your wife say that to you.

With no warranty, pay tax, pay more on petrol, pay mots, risk spending £2000 and it being worth £500 in a month if something serious goes wrong. You completely miss the point of leasing. Fixed cost motoring for a brand new car.

Also, this deal isn't for me. I just stumbled on it while doing some research into costs etc and it seemed like a good deal in comparison with other offers out there. Just thought i'd share it with HUKD being the generous good-natured soul that I am... :smiley:

Always reminds me of the Griswold family truckster, but I must admit the cactus is growing on me. Looks better in some colour schemes than others

Why does someone post such comments in every. Single. Lease. Thread.
I have had my license now for 17 years and for most of that time owned old cars. I have spent a fortune on repairs over the years. About 14 months ago I decided to finance a year old car instead to get a break from the unpredictable nature of the expenditure.
It's been great. 100% reliable. Just get in it and drive it every day. I have really enjoyed it.
Look... A £2000 quid snotter is all well and good but it's a total gamble buying an old used car. If you depend on a car for your livelihood or you have a family who are dependent on transport, an old second hand car may not be an acceptable risk.
Great deal. Heat added.

I did in May, so far it has cost me £1800 in repairs and not a leg to stand on, I would much prefer the ease of a lease car and repairs being someone else's problem. Definitely a lease car for me when I've sold this one.

Plus I don't think you'd get Sat Nav, DAB, Cruise Control, Parking Camera etc etc on a 2nd hand £2k car.

It's a Citroen Cactus! £2,112 doesn't seem very much for Citroen to pay me for the embarrassment of being seen driving it :stuck_out_tongue:

Chatuk, you do realise in your comment "I don't think I've yet seen a cheaper way of getting a brand new car on the road for so little money" that lease deals DO NOT include insurance don't you?
And for a young driver you should budget at least another few thousand a year for fully comprehensive insurance.

Actually some do. Fiat very recently did a deal on the Fiat 500 that included insurance for young drivers that was cheaper than many youngsters would have had to pay just for insurance

Opening post
However, having a look around over the last couple of days comparing prices on insurance and leasing etc, I stumbled across this deal which seems ok for infrequent drivers or people just doing small commutes. (Less than 5000miles per year)
Price breaks down as follows
£999+vat Upfront Cost (£1198.00)
£150+vat Admin fee (£180)
£33.99+vat Monthly Lease (40.79)
Total over the 18months £2112.22 or the equivalent of £117.35 monthly.
The car may not be to everyone's style but I don't think I've yet seen a cheaper way of getting a brand new car on the road for so little money.
