The upfront cost on these lease deals always kill it for me....if I had 2 1/2 grand to spare i probably wouldn't need to lease!

Good price for a nice VAG with the comfort of knowing you'll be the first inside it.

No more reliable than most cars - don't believe the myth and advertising

a few quid more now

Not leather as far as I can tell

is it heated leather seats?

Has anyone here have any experience buying the leased car at the end of the lease?

The total cost over 2 years is what I use to compare. For a "deal" comparison I took the % of the total cost vs RRP

​There are plenty of deals with zero deposit.

Usually there will be a limit for how much of it is "wear and tear" but if it has loads of scratches the garage will charge you to fix it but probably better to get it done before handing it back at a local paint shop.

No, it forms part of the total cost over 2 years (£4471)

like the look of this deal ... can some one just clarify (please) the initial deposit .. is this returnable?

I will admit that I am worried I will be bored sitting there having my bottom warmed by the heated seats, listening to bluetooth-streamed music on an 8 speaker system, not even having to think about which way I am going thanks to the sat nav, while the adaptive cruise control matches the speed of the car in front. The front and rear parking sensors will wake me up if I get too close to anything so no worries really.

Find a comparable car with the same features that cost less than 20% of the RRP for 2 year ownership, like this one, or vote hot.

Surely the total price over the term is more useful? That is quoted in this case too. Quoting the true net cost per month isn't as useful as that's not what you'll be paying each month! :wink:.

Could we develop a std for car lease deals whereby the total cost(deposit, fees, monthly costs etc)/no of months of lease is quoted in the title? ie true net cost per month

eg. in this case it's £186

Just makes it easier to make comparisons. Big difference between £186 and £79

End of my two penneth. Have a good weekend everyone!

Just my thoughts - golf's really are dull cars....my wife used to own one.

People really need to move away from Germanic blandness..

Audi s1 £256 plus £2300 deposit - over 3 years 5K miles a year - id rather do pcp though

Golf GTI 5 door dsg isnt too bad at £218/month, £1900 deposit on top

you cant buy a new car with £2500 and struggle even with the monthly payment on top

Cold, 5000 miles is of a oap going to the shop to collect the daily paper 5 days a week. God help them if they want a paper 7 days a week, with the excess milage hitting their pensions :sunglasses:

Nearly £200 a month for a £20k car does not appear like amazing value when you can spend 250-300 a month and get a £35k+ car. Depends what you are after I guess.

for an extra £4/month (or c£100 over the 2 years) they also have the 110 TDI in Match Edition.

Yes, but they don't have anything that I can see as good a car for the price.

Their 1L polo (no sat nav etc) is nearly a s much as this deal once you add arrangement fee.

Generally the cheapest out there - https://www.selectcarleasing.co.uk/special-offers.html

It's £0.072 per mile over.

5000 is ridiculous lol

Link for better car on similar deal pls

This is the standard price in the market today, there is nothing special here. For just about the same monthlies you can get a significantly better car.

In terms of mileage its configurable, different manufacturers charge different amounts.

Cold like the arctic.

Leasing company would worry proceeds of crime could get seized at any time by the authorities.

(that's a joke btw)

​you wouldn't say it didn't matter if you were sat on the hard shoulder.

lol

:wink::wink:

Don't drive personally but OH does 75 miles a day just to get to/from work, forgetting leisure travel, so 5k p/a is ridiculous. Possibly OK for someone that lives in a city.

Be careful as 5000 miles a year is not much. i do that in a little over 3 months just in commuting. If I was only doing 5k PA not sure I'd care about having a reasonable care either but that's just personal preference...

7.2ppm incl VAT

Good price for a nice VAG with the comfort of knowing you'll be the first inside it.

I drive this car on pcp - fantastic car. By means of a comparison, I get 8000 miles/year for £160/month and I put down a £2000 deposit. That's over 4 years.

No more reliable than most cars - don't believe the myth and advertising

Problem is its a VW. Reliable if you can afford to keep them so.

josa

what a boring car

Excess mileage charge will only be circa 6p a mile so doesn't matter if you go a few k over, it won't add much to the final bill at the end.

not even 100 miles a week.

Do you need to be employed to get a lease deal? Only ask as I have enough cash to cover the full cost a few times over but think I might get rejected if I don't have a job.

gap insurance is not mandatory.

Including extra fees this works out at about £200 per month. Don't forget to include gap insurance too. £4.5k to drive a golf for 2 years?

Freedom are members of the BVRLA and must subscribe to their guidelines as to "fair wear and tear" - bumper scrapes, small scratches etc are fine, windscreen chips that would fail an MOT and scratches more than 20mm (I think) are not

Looks good this. Although I'm always curious about lease deals what happens if your vehicle gets scratches and chips over the 2 year period when you hand it back?

The upfront cost on these lease deals always kill it for me....if I had 2 1/2 grand to spare i probably wouldn't need to lease!

Decent deal for a golf! I like the monthlies but not the initial sadly! Also 8k miles would be better than 5k. Nice find though. :wink:
