Just to let you know, the car doesn't stop working if you go over 5k pa.
7.2p per mile is a very reasonable excess mileage charge. So if you want an extra 10,000 miles over 2 years, then you pay an extra £720 over the term (equivalent to an extra £30 per month).
Also VWFS may lower the cost to 3.6p if you phone partly through your agreement (they have in the past and continue to do so).

I have no interest in actually taking up one of these car deals but i just come for the comments. Within minutes of this deal being posted, there's talk about reporting someone for defamation, HMRC, tax avoidance, personal attacks, accusations that another poster is Donald Trump....really, these lease deal comments are better than Eastenders for drama, entertainment and slap fighting.

I don't pay vat, or paye, or rent, or ni
Don't buy fuel either or my weekly shop
...... this is the same price I paid for my mates brand new 2018 p1 mclaren that he got off Alan Sugar who had a word with the Queen that granted me immunity from ever paying for anything I didn't want you pay for

So you're comparing your lease exc VAT vs. a personal lease inc VAT? Hardly comparable.

Not for me, can't see the point of having a great car you can't drive anywhere. 5K miles per annum is the deal breaker.

Agreed wholeheartedly. You want a car to drive, not to toodle to the supermarket every 2nd week. 2.4k downpayment too, and the car is never yours. Not for me.

I have to agree, 5k miles is a deal breaker....if this had been 10k miles then it would be scorching, but as is, luke warm at best!

The only "deal breaker" was that this is the same price that what I got my R for...

Wow really? That's very cheap

Inc VAT? If so, what was was the monthly rentals and inital rental?
Because the cheapest Golf R hatchback on a personal lease has been £6.5k over the term - and that was without nav, no winter pack and no DSG. The R estates have been around £6.3k. No where near £5k...

You didn't get an 7R at this price, best deals were still over 6k on term.

Absolute rubbish. I posted the cheapest deal at £180+Vat +deposit of £1800
Also if you get it via your company and don't pay VAT, that saving will be eaten up by BIK, personal Tax and NI, probably employers NI, company setup costs, an accountant. You may not have to pay all but if you aren't paying any, then I am sure the HMRC would like to know why.

Somewhat of a moot point given that the deal in this thread would be 20% less if your ltd company took this lease out for "business" use only

Remember it's not your 'R' it's their 'R' because you have to give it back...

I reckon the Skoda Fabia's are better value.

A Fabia is Polo sized though, I think, so not a direct alternative to a Golf.

Does Skoda still make a hot Fabia?

They don't do the VRS anymore, which is a Fab Fabia. Others are... meh...

I took this deal out and negotiated the terms. Didn't need sat nav or winter pack. Manual hatch.
