The 1.6 is Sunni presumably then?

Don't get why this continual argument breaks out over leasing. There's a simple rule:
1) IF you're the sort of person who wants to drive a new car every 2-3 years, then leasing (if the sums in the offer add up) offers an attractive alternative to owning a heavily depreciating asset whilst reducing the hassle of constantly changing cars.
2) IF you're the sort of person who thinks any new cars are a mugs' game due to depreciation, then a well-chosen used cars (e.g. 3yr old) which has undergone the bulk of it's depreciation offers a better alternative - and leasing is never likely to be appealing to you.
3) IF you want to get a new car but drive it for a number of years (e.g. 4 or more) then you're probably better of buying a car and running it for several years - if you look after it then you really start to enjoy savings in years 4-10 as depreciation is much less and you're assured in the knowledge you've a good car as you have looked after it through it's life.

You just gotta understand what type of person you are.

Why do people make such a big fuss and vote cold because you have to give the car back? The clue is in the title . If leasing does not suit you then why bother reading any further and then voting cold? Lets assume you love this car and are thinking purchasing it at around £20k, in 2 years time you decide you want to change it , you will probably find as already stated in previous posts that the vehicle will only be worth around £10k, so because you hate leasing you have lost £10k while the person who doesn't care about giving the car back spends £5k for the identical car for the same period. Its not rocket science.

£4K for a car you borrow and only allowed to drive for 2 years???

think you may have missed the joke m8...

Yawn.....£50pw is f**k all and 8K would nearly cover my annual mileage at 10k and easily cover the wife's at 5K. Just where do people drive these days, try walking to the shops and school, or end of the road to post a letter. Don't understand these mileage and lease rants people have.

12 seconds?

I didn't think they built Milk Floats anymore!?

You're still paying £50pw for f*ck all mileage. Fine if you have no savings and want an ornament on your drive to impress friends/the neighbours...but there's more intelligent ways of spending your money if you're after a nice car.

No it's 'Shiite' I believe.

haven't read many of the comments, but the company I work for had 30 or so delivered this week, I have one as a company car now, had it 3 days, I sell used cars for a living, not the fastest, definitely economical, still can't make up my mind the about outside look most of my colleagues love them, merc inside fully loaded, possibly to many gadgets. very comfy drive, and quiet, had a focus zetec S prior to this and this wins hands down

And even if you have the money to buy, the interest you can earn on keeping the money and paying something monthly like this makes leasing even more attractive

I didn't realise you could still buy cars that slow.

Nice

it was infinity stockport - his name is already aluding me.... tom maybe?
It was a stock deal so maybe they've ran out?

... That's why I voted cold you dweeb

Just google search the insurance group - or even better - do a quick quote on the website to see. It'll take you 10 minutes.

£1200 on a 13 year old Punto?!?!?!?

I've had an IN10 in the past. Didn't have that much effect on my insurance. I never topped £350 on a 2.0L VW! I was in my 30's (late 30's admittedly) at the time.

Your postcode must be pretty bad? In which case, I'd expect a HEFTY increase to insure this as it's worth a hell of a lot more than an ancient Punto!

(My dad just traded in his 2004 Punto and they gave him £100 for it. The computer was telling him it was only worth £60. lol. In fairness, that was probably about right as it had already failed the MOT which was expiring in a few days and needed a few hundred £'s worth of work to get it through.)

Just rechecked and they are right, the £22,550 is for the 6 speed manual.

Can I get the dealer and salesmans name please as I cant get near your price

6) If you have a company car allowance, you can spend it on something like this.

It's a manual - when I spoke to them the colour was obsidian black.

Also to add that this car is built in the UK for anyone considering that a plus.

It was direct from Infinity - I just went into the show room and had a chat with them.

Is it an auto (picture of the inside suggests so), and is it in that vile colour!

Interesting how they call it a 2015 model, I thought it was 2nd hand at first. It doesn't much matter that it's a 2015 model as its still new.

hahaha

That's because its a lease you blert

As I see it, if you normally buy your cars new, drive them less than 10,000 miles per year, and keep them for 3 years or less -- leasing is a bit of a no-brainer. It gets more difficult to assess if you have high mileage, normally buy nearly new or keep your cars longer. Everybody's circumstances will be different but I have warmed to leasing over the last 2/3 years.

Great deal get it ordered!

If it's any use, Fleet News predict a residual value after 2 years and 20,000 miles of £9,824 - list price of £21,445. Even allowing for the lower mileage, shows what a bargain this is.

Guess not lol. just need to cut down costs on my car, paying far too much for a car with too little value.

Can you also save the £1000 to pay for your next lease initial rental when you hand this one back?

Yes I do, have money ready. I'm gonna check insurance for this car now n I'll get back to you. Its insurance group 14, which ain't that bad.

The 1.6 is Sunni presumably then?

Not for insurance! **** hell I only pay £200 a year on a 2014 car I got on PCP back in March 2014 and I'm not even 30 yet.

It's easy to work out the costs by entering the details of the car into an insurance comparison site. Bare in mind this is classed a luxury car so will be more expensive than most to insure unless you're old and have a lot of no claims.

Another thing is credit rating, is yours good? Do you have the £935.93 ready for the initial rental? If not don't bother even looking.

It's a lease, of course you don't own it?

Please can I have details of who this is with?

If it depreciates more than it would cost to fund the purchase with loan or cash, lease it. If it doesn't assuming you can afford it and want the hassle of selling or part exchanging then buy it.

I'm just going into my second lease. Both Golf R's. Previous cars have depreciated around 3-4K per annum with maintenance costs on top. My leases have cost £3.7k per year maintained and £3.2k for the next two non-maintained. Easy motoring in a nice car in my eyes.

Is 30 young? Insurance is high due to postcode and IN10 ( 6 pts )
Just want to know if I'll b paying more..

The 1.5 engine is shiite, get the 1.6 engine which is from mercedes

...

I can't tell you that, it's personal preference and whether you can afford it or not. But since you're paying £1200 a year for insurance on an old Punto I imagine you're young (under 20). In which case I wouldn't lease a car.

If I tell you what I drive, how much I pay will you tell me if this is worth it please?
I drive 2003 fiat punto ( lol ) I pay £1200 annual insurance, £120 roadTax. Also have 6pts on license.

I hired a Juke in Italy with this engine and was VERY disappointed. It was really loud and rattly. Despite the car being brand new (only 1500 km on the clock).

Granted this car will probably have better sound deadening.

If anyone is interested I picked up the buisness executive version of this car (it's the 1.5 with a DCT auto transmission, all the extras like sat nav, seat heating, automatic lights, cruise control blah blah blah) direct from Infinity last week. Same milage with a total cost of about £1200 more then this deal.

Renault 1.5D engine is lovely, if you like economy. You'll get 62mpg on the motorway with this. In a combination of town and motorway I'm averaging 55mpg.

If you want thrills then it's not so good, but if you just want to go long distances comfortable and cheaply then it's ideal.

Can someone explain why this is worth looking at when you HAVE to return it withing few years? Don't get it. It's like hiring a car.

Cold, don't keep car at end of it :neutral_face:

Yes. Mercedes have a partnership with Renault, they share platforms now too. For example the new Smart is a Twingo. This car is the A-Class platform, same as the GLA. Engine code is K9K 846 I believe.

Also Infiniti is Nissan, which the controlling stake is owned by Renault.

I know that, just pointing out actual overall COST PER MONTH!

Is this the 1.5d Renault provided engine? I think alot of manufactures are using this engine including Mercedes in their a class

You're right, that is a lot of money to drive around in a car with a Renault engine.

0-60 in 12 seconds :disappointed: my soul just died. Sorry OP couldn't help myself

£195.99 a month for those who can't do the mathS.

Love the Nissan Infinity!! I drove one of these when I was working in the States 10 years back. They are very nice and smooth drive.

New to market so hard to judge the true residual value on this, but premium hatch on a sub 5k 2 year lease is always a winner in my book.

8k per annum is Ok but what is the ppm with these guy's?
