Spotted this deal last night and after looking at the higher prices quoted on other leasing sites rang up and ordered first thing this morning.
Ford Focus 1.0 Ecoboost 125 ST-Line Navigation 5 door for £167.46 + 23 payments of £167.46. There is an admin fee of £300 so the total over the two years is £4,319.04.
The deal can work out cheaper if you pay a larger upfront amount.
There are only 15 cars available and the colours available at this price are magnetic (dark grey), deep impact blue, black and white.
Update: Just had a call from Yes Lease, the price has gone down to £156.49 + 23 payments of £156.49. With the admin fee that is a total of £4,055.76.
They are sending me new forms to sign so I get the lower price.

Winter tyres in the UK!!!!
Been driving for over 20 years and never once have I had a need for winter tyres, that is on a variety of front and rear wheel drive cars (including an M135i), we just do not get the weather to require it.

Almost twenty comments and not a single utterance of "Do I get to keep it at the end?" or " I could buy a ten year old Golf for that much!" :sunglasses:
And then places you go to after you have been to them such as a court, your local jail....

Sounds good to me, a non-expert.

Seems to be a very good price.
While some of these deals are hugely tempting, two things bother me about lease cars:
1. Won't they just come with standard summer tyres? Can you specify all year round all-season tyres like Michelin Cross-Climate do you know? Buying your own winter tyres to fit to steel rims in winter isn't going to make financial sense on a 2 year lease. Having seen the benefit of winter tyres there's no way I'd go back to driving on summer tyres in winter.
2. At the end of the lease, won't they charge you for repair on every minor supermarket parking dent, chips and scratches? Seems to me a professional repair for every minor scratch and imperfection could come to hundreds.

1. It depends on the specific company / deal as to what you can specify, but yes changing the spec may make this deal less attractive.
1. They will come with whatever tyres the manufacturer thinks is most suited. So they will be decent. But nothing to stop you buying and fitting a winter set if you wish? You can sell these separately when the lease car goes back.
2. This is regulated and nationally defined what constitutes fair "wear and tear". But, at the end of the day, it isn't your car, if you don't look after it and it gets damaged then you are responsible for putting it right.

Depends where in the UK. You can probably 'manage' ok on summer tyres all year round, but I've run winter tyres for the last couple of winters and even though it's been comparatively mild, I found the winter tyres to be clearly better over the colder months. Not just in terms of traction and grip, but also stopping distances, especially on a wet road.

Thanks flipnfil and M_z for your helpful responses.
Pepp77 - Maybe if you live in London, otherwise I completely disagree.

I'd have to sadly agree with them. Never changed tyres on my Fiesta (1l EcoBoost/99bhp) and never needed them, always had regular tyres that came with the vehicle.

2. Most leasing companies seem very upfront about their charges and you can normally (and should) check this upfront. As a guideline https://www.whatcar.com/car-leasing/car-leasing-guide/wear-and-tear-guide.php
