I wish I wasn't addicted to my cars but sadly I am and usually change every two years (never a new one due to depreciation). Leasing has been the best thing I've ever done. A brand new car with zero unexpected repairs for two years and in the case on the R a fantastic car as well.

Surely one of the best deals so far?

I know it's horses for courses and I do understand car leading and who it works for and who it doesn't, but £7k to borrow a Golf for two years...... I just couldn't do it.

Good deal if you would be looking to buy one new and chop it in in two years time though, but I suspect very few people do that anyway.

This is a cracking deal!

Why always estates??

I used to know a guy with a Stagea import which was amusing and this is nearly as fast. It just reminds of one of those because you can chuck it around too :stuck_out_tongue:

Having just leased a Qashqai through Gateway2Lease I can highly recommend them.

I know the previous deal for Gateway2Lease was pulled from the site before for the following reasons:
"This was removed as the thread breached our site rules and the actual seller of the item is suspended from our platform."

Not sure it will hang around on here long if that is still the case.

It's still cheaper with Horizon Vehicle leasing at £184.54 a month with the same deposit and fees

http://www.horizonvehicleleasing.co.uk/personal-lease-cars/volkswagen/golf-estate/golf-estate-20-tsi-r-5dr-dsg-nav-90175421

​The list price is not the same as the price you'd pay from the dealer. There was a 335d on here a few months ago for £30k, it retails at £40k+

http://matlockford.co.uk/used-cars/titanium-x-fiesta/fiesta-1-5-tdci-95ps-titanium-x-5dr-candy-red-2/

As I said, £15k is Fiesta money

Just have to go to the right dealer. Currently, you can get a Golf R Estate for £6440 all-in with 10k pa. Also these include nav and winter pack as standard. Majority didn't get that 3 months ago.

So imagine you buy that for £30k. Two years later it's worth £23k on private sale. It's cost you £7,000 in depreciation, plus whatever you've spent on maintenance (let's say two services at £300 each) and you have the hassle of selling it privately, or the indignity of being offered £20k on trade in for it (meaning it's actually cost you £10,000 in depreciation).

Owning only really makes sense once a car reaches 3 or 4 years old, in my opinion.

I wish this deal was about 3 months ago instead of the Audi A6 Avant I've got now, it's crap

:confused:

It was:

Do you have a link for that deal please?

True - Mine came to £6403.20 direct with Northampton VW - with Car net.

Heated seats isn't a major issue when they're cloth, if they were leather - then maybe it would be more worth it.

​Yeah it is a total mine field. I buy a car that's 5 years old for £6/7/8k but 100,000 miles on it in three years and sell it for peanuts. This is the cheapest way of owning a reasonable car for my circumstance. Or at least I think so. I'd love one of these, just prohibitively expensive for someone of my means and miles.

​I don't think you get cloth heated seats, I've never seen them.

You do with this car. :wink:

​it's not uncommon

Does this deal have nav and winter pack? Can't see it!

Are these Golf R estates 66 plate with sat nav and winter pack as standard?

Yes they are/yes they do (i think!!)

But isn't it just like an extended version of hiring a car for the weekend? You'll get charged silly money at the end of the lease for any damages, such as alloys scuffs/ scratches / parking dents etc.

It is certainly a good way of owning a new car, but alas there are pros and cons, just need to decide which one works for you :smiley:

Having had my golf r estate from the april deal just over a week, can't praise this car enough it really is superb and being an estate has the extra practicality... just dont expect 40mpg!

I'm pretty sure you do. Unless someone keeps swapping mine back to cloth from leather when I drive it...

No. I got the VW Tiguan deal over a year ago and when the car gets delivered you get a booklet of acceptable dinks and scuffs. I was actually surprised how much they let you get away with. It's through vw so don't try ripping you off.

There are a lot of cheap lease deals out there at the moment, for good reason. They are an effective way for the auto manufacturers to dump surplus cars without dropping the new list price or offering silly discounts.

The lease company is getting these cars for a massive discount off list and dumping them into the auction market afterwards. Say the list for this one is £33,385. Lease Company probably paying £25,000 and selling after two years for £22,000. Their depreciation is far less than the lease payments. It is good business for them. Sadly, Joe Public can't always get hold of them new for £25,000 (though there are often websites that can help).

Best deals tend to be available only on certain models.

So, bargains to be had if you are flexible on model and spec.

oooh pay loads of money for a car youll never own. cold

For anyone after a higher mileage deal, I'm in the process of putting an order in with these guys.. http://www.vehicles4work.com/personal-lease-cars/volkswagen/golf-estate

3+23 20k a year, £362.99 a month with £1088.96 initial payment.

Great deal considering we nearly went through with a C250D, same lease profile but higher initial payment and around £425 a month.

You'd save money taking this deal and just paying the excess mileage fine at the end of the lease.

ha ha fool

How much is the excess mileage fee? Can't see it on the webpage

7.2p per mile

Through VW Financial services as marmaluke said its 7.2p per mile (6p + VAT)

I'll leave you to crunch the numbers :smiley:

Effectively £286pm then. Decent deal.

I'm not convinced they are. If you view the vehicle standard specification on the website, after following the link. Sat nav is not mentioned. It's listed under the options however, for an extra £765.00. So it's unclear but I might call them to ask.

direct from vw i have this quoted which appears cheaper.

6432.46 @10k with metallic paint (black) , direct from vw

less for the white, bit more for lapiz, no other options allowed.

this includes a 600+vat dealer contribution.



personally, i have to add 512 onto that to cancel my current deal on order, still making vw offer 764.54 cheaper than current deal , but i cant have the colour i want , i better decide quick ha ha

That offer is from VW Listers right? If so, they've taken the 600+VAT dealer contribution into account already. So it's actually £7100ish. I phoned to enquire.

That's just it, you're not paying loads for a new car. You could, however buy and own the car from new and then watch how much more money you'll lose as it depreciates.

If you are going to take this at 10k per annum and do higher mileage (circa 20k) per year but pay the mileage cost, you would need to check the T&Cs as they might only allow you to do an extra 50% per year so across the 2 years the contract mileage would be 30k.
Be worth contacting them for a higher mileage quote.

You'd just need to do the maths on the extra mileage cost plus fuel costs, if 40mpg is going to be the best you get out of it and you're planning on 20k per annum with a heavy right foot it'll be thirsty!

I just applied for a quote and got told this will be the 2017 1st September model with sat nav.
However, all the standard paint has now run out and you can only get metallic for same deposit but minimum of 208.86 a month.

People that take lease cars DO know they will never own the car and they are fine with that because that is how they choose to own THEIR car. You can choose to do car ownership a different way.

​No sh*t, Sherlock :wink:

I have looked at taking the money and getting a deal like this, but as my company car is fully maintained I haven't yet been able to justify moving off the company car scheme, even if you get taxed to kingdom come..

So £293.80 all in per month

Does this include Android Auto as standard also?

I would love a lease deal but am in catch 22, I do 20k a year which means a stupidly high monthly payment, or buy a used car just out of 3 year warranty and paying a small fortune on maintenance, timing belts, parts, as things soon start to go wrong with the mileage I do.

Really? I'm doing 15k a year in a decade old top end Mondeo and having very few issues. It's possible I've been lucky on this and a similar previous one.

You are lucky nmy Vw golf mk6 TDI had to have new egr fitted at £1000 and blown turbo another £1000

Incredible deal but I really want the Golf R 5dr hatch!

Trouble is the lease car driver has been ragging that future bargain for 2/3 years as he knows he wont be keeping it!

Got mine delivered on Friday from the April deal posted on here. Mine was built with the upgrade MY2017 model so came with winter pack and discovery pro sat nav as standard. Also the on screen turbo boost gauge, G force gauge etc. Amazing car, would highly recommend. I prefer the estate than the hatch so it's a winner for me :smiley:

Anyone gone direct to dealer for this one and got a low deposit higher monthly?

Loads of us. £1500 down, £215 per month.

Me too! :laughing:

Any advice? I live in Essex, are people using local dealers to them or ringing around specific branches who'll do a deal even though they're not close. Thanks in advance.

I've emailed listers but may try a local too

I think the thing with these lease deals is that for people who want new... they're very good and make sense!

However people that prefer second hand find it much harder to justify. I personally wouldn't do it not just for the costs involved, but because I prefer modifying my car quite extensively... so having something I can't touch wouldn't work for me!

It's funny though when I see all these brand new Fiesta ST's driving around (they were about £135 p/m at their cheapest iirc) I think they look nice etc. but to me it's just so bland driving around in the exact same thing as everyone else... I'd rather be in my 10 year customised car :smiley: but each to their own; I can definitely see the appeal of brand new and have certainly considered it in the past.

To the people on here - enjoy!

Can someone who's gone direct PM me where you used and the contact if possible

They've all gone. 100 were released, 37 left as of this morning and VW Robinsons Norwich have just told me they've all been allocated.

I've been told that 150 slots were release and all now gone.

Did they tell you what the lead time will be? The broker I've gone with reckons about 8 weeks

​How much do you get out of it on a motorway run at 70ish mph? I've ordered one and I'm going to doing a bit of motorway mileage until later in the year so hopefully it'll see late 30's? Save the thrashings for the twisty stuff.

My 3 dr hatch manages about 36mpg at 70, I really struggle to get it over 40 tho

I secured a white one for my dad but didn't move fast enough myself and narrowly missed out today.

Any ideas on when we will see something similar crop up again?

From speaking to dealers today, I believe a deal for existing golf r customers due to hand their cars back is imminent.

I was told 6-8 weeks. This is the start of the silly season for manufacturers (July-Sept) expect to see more amazing deals, especially from the German marques.

These deals have been appearing on and off over the last couple of years. I took delivery of my 5 door hatch back in Jan 2014 and paid £1700 + 23 x £219 (that includes £16pm for Lapiz Blue) with 10K miles. I did enquired about the estate and thought about delaying delivery until the end of the year but I think the deal will be back on at some point and I'm also hearing rumours of the loyalty deal for existing golf r 'owners.'

Re MPG on motorway I've had 40mph on a motorway run sticking at 70. But I rarely stay at 70...!

I've had 'mine' for 28 days now and have done just under 800 miles.
I feel the fuel economy is getting better as the car opens up a bit, which is good, as I've been averaging approx. 26mpg from the start. I managed 40.4mpg on a trip to heathrow (non-motorway) about 35 miles, and then 36.9 on a journey of about 4 miles. I get between 19 and 23 on my 4 mile commute. I drive mostly in eco-mode, unless Race mode permits - which most of the time it doesn't. The oil needs to at least get to temperature - between 95 and 110 degrees. I haven't tried Launch Control yet, as I've not reached the end of the running in period.

Thanks guys good to see 40mpg is achievable, I didn't order the car for economy but I don't mind sitting at 70ish on a boring motorway run. It'll get the engine bed in quickly too so I can try out the launch control :confused:

3 months ago was when I took delivery of my A6 not ordered it ;-)

That's reassuring as I'm getting around 26-30 in Eco. With 100 miles on the clock now. Guessed it would improve slightly. I will be happy with mid 30's on a run

What are the rumours about the loyalty deal for existing Golf R owners? :confused:

Managed to order a Lapiz Blue one yesterday, got a order number from the leasing company and according to the track my order page on VW's website its due for build w/c 15th August. Estimate from leasing company was September delivery. This is being supplied through Sinclair VW Cardiff.

I have no idea - I've only had it a month!

I was hoping for 30 at least. I'm not disappointed, it just would have been nice...
It's definitely better than my previous vehicle. I was getting at most 20mpg from that.
Averaging approx 30% better :smiley:

Signed the order form and bottled out. Has to be a hatchback!

I can understand why, there are much nicer looking estates on the market. The hatchback looks 10x better too IMO, but I still can't wait to take delivery of my R estate :smiley:

What selections are people putting in there to get it to show the price the OP quoted?

Can anyone recommend direct deals in Manchester. Should I start with Inchcape?

All build slots are now gone at these prices so not available anymore.

I think you'll regret that decision... :smiley: I should really update my profile picture.
