Nice, my mate paid £700, lasted him 6 years

Nice. One of my mates bought some Apples and another mate bought some Oranges.... :angry:

Life's too short too drive an old banger and you can't take your money with you so you might aswell spend it

Bought a car for £2k cash 5 years ago, still drives great. Laughing all the way to the bank and I own it outright!

Just received quotes for this and the DSG. £130.82pm and £151.95p respectively.

colour is corrida red.

tax is included

servicing and tyres are excluded

Anyone secured this deal yet? No one else seems to come close and are all quoting last quarter prices.

Servicing and tyres works out at about £400 over the 2yrs when i enquired.

Given it will prob need a set of fronts (depending how you drive) and a service - probably break even at least, but will help with budgetting.

Servicing also covers things like wiper blades, brakes etc.

Insurance is not included. Servicing and tyres will only be included if you take out a maintenance contract.

Breakdown cover and road tax (VED) are usually both included but you should always check.

Leasing is all new to me. Basically this costs about £50 a week. Does it include insurance, road tax, breakdown or any other running cost you have to pay if you own a car

Agreed.

I have someone who's absolutely obsessed with my situation for some reason that totally contaminated this thread. This is a great deal btw. If you're looking for a good lease thread elsewhere, pm me and I'll send you the link. Lease threads on here brings out the weirdos.

Nail on head mate :smile:

There's no arrogance on my part. I said it was a great deal but in my line of work, image is everything. It wins business. As much as that is not the real me in my personal life (Im a Star Wars and retro gaming geek) am afraid that's just how the corporate world works. Besides, I don't think my fellow directors would be delighted if I banked our sizable car allowances and spent it on a Skoda.

Like I said earlier, this was a personal view but for some reason that Henry guy really took offence and really wanted to discuss. A bit odd to be honest but I guess this site does throw up some oddballs from time to time.

This thread is just ridiculous, what a load of rubbish being posted which has nothing to do with the deal being posted...

Well, it's face and soft coercion, not strictly bribery and happens all over the world. HM government contracts are really a different kettle of fish, I'm talking real, unadulterated, human business. HM government contracts are probably, usually, relatively small compared to what goes on in the wider world -- and definitely have no capacity for commission (besides corruption).

I stick with the argument that badge and car can matter, in a lot of careers and roles.

A business may or may not supply the car. A business may or may not choose it for you. A business may or may not expense it for you. A business may be a sole proprietor.

That all depends who your clients are, HM Government for example all that type of bribery stuff is a strict no no, it would cost you the contract.

You are correct it was a dig at the way he dismissed a Skoda as it simply wasn't good enough for him, came across as really arrogant.

The type of industries you described supply the car and expense accounts for the purpose.

Looks like someone already covered a few.

To broaden the scope a little bit, which you seem to have trouble doing: a British business man or representative may exclusively deal with German imports. He may be required to go above and beyond his own culture and host business-men, their families, take them out.

Even more relevant would be doing business - or working in any integral part of it where picking up customers, meeting with them, or hosting them is a factor - with just about any Far-East Asian country [[China]] where "face" is an absolutely critical factor in doing business; car and badge will matter on nearly every deal where it's seen.

You seem to think it was initially to do with his ego/perception, that alone is a good enough base to understand the implications it can have in careers. Ego, perception and class stereotypes go a long way, with a lot money.

Dammit! I signed up for last month's deal about a week ago. Phoned up NVS and tried to get them to change my rate but they would only agree to let me cancel my current deal and sign up for the new one (thus costing me the £239.99 admin fee I have already paid). Have 3 more days on my cooling off period so may try a few main dealers to see if any will make me a better offer before I cancel.

No you can't usually buy at the end. Compared to buying a new car the cost is very comparable. Compared to buying a pre-owned car it will usually be considerably more expensive, unless you choose a stock special which can often be heavily discounted.

If a 3 year old car works for you, it will probably be a fair bit cheaper than leasing.

Lol OK I will do.

But like you said, you have no idea who I am or what I've achieved. Don't let the Nissan leaf fool you :smile:

Think i might have to go for this... such a good deal!

Was looking at the M240i, but that was £350 a month and £3k down..... yes its faster, but this is cheap as anything!

The only one I can think of is a hairdresser

You must have a really horrible life. I can tell just by your responses. Don't be jealous. Work hard and you'll get the fruits that other people get to enjoy or you'll die a "orrible" lonely and bitter death.

Over and out.

I'll have a fiver on a dreamer.

I can just see the conversation now "Sorry, but you have a Skoda so we cannot employ you" lol

Not real life.
Delusions of grandeur is probably a more fitting description.

A car does not maketh the man.

Sounds exhausting.

am new to leases, how does the maths work out compared to buying new, can you buy at the end, if so what sort of price, or is it best to walk away.

Am quite tight usually, should I just be looking at a 3 year old car to buy instead, for age/price/value trade off?

Welcome to real life mate.

Badge Matters hahaha

It looks like the cupra deal includes tires and servicing.

Great deal.

I did my first ever lease last april when the Vauxhall astra deal was on here £119 a month for a 1.4 turbo elite with nav

I know a lot of people cant get their heads around leasing regarding having nothing to show for it at the end of the 2 or 3 years but when my lease comes to an end next year it will have cost me about £4k inc a service and gap insurance,
But I look at it another way if I had walked into my main dealer last year and purchased a brand new astra which had a list price of £20k only to see the same main dealer selling pre reg elite's for just over £14k a few months later I would of been gutted to say the least.

The astra wasn't my first choice of car but its been excellent,good on fuel and comfortable on long trips I don't think I will bother buying secondhand cars again .

As for this deal I'm tempted but my lease still has over 6 months to go so could I delay delivery till end of april or should I wait till the new year ?
By the way the estate is available for £142 a month based on 8k a year which is plenty for me

​warrington seat last week was still at 249 deposit and 249 a month x23

Do you do one the these professions?

To be honest, my experience between Seat and Skoda is that between equivalent models that the Skoda will tend to just be a little better put together. Plastics being a slightly higher quality, stitching slightly nicer looking. Lots of the insides will be pretty much the same, a few key features will differ but overall there's not a lot to argue between the two brands. Seat is considered the bottom of the VAG range of brands, Skoda occupying the spot above that (in theory according to the motoring press).

For me the Cupra looks amazing, sounds nice and it's a decent price, but frankly it's not the most practical car in the world. It works for most things, but the Skoda offers a little more niceness, a good deal more room and pretty much the same basic experience inside the car. Plus when it comes to deals you seem to consistently get better deals on the Skoda range so £4£ if buying at a dealer the equivalently specified Skoda tends to be more expensive, but when you look at where you find the real deals with leasing, then we see a big difference that Seat just seem to always be more expensive comparing like for like pricing on cars equipped the same.

My guesses would be: -

Basically all lines of work where you need the bling to look successful. Wrong that there is that perception but that’s life.
I’ll stick with my Ford Focus Estate amongst the local Jags, Range Rovers and German Saloons.

My Alltrack goes back at the end of May, even at 20 weeks I think it would be too soon to order one of these.
I like the look f the DSG though.

I was also looking at the cupra but it's certainly not this cheap!

Lol hilarious.

Let's here this list, I'll get the popcorn.

You are really dense. His perception of his own line of work is clearly more valuable than yours (whom has no idea who he is, or what he does).

I can think of many jobs where badge matters. You have a chronic case of career myopia, mate.

I'm looking at this and the Cupra 300 for not much more.

Apart from a £500 saving what does this offer over the cupra? mpg about the same, equip about the same, lead in time about the same.

not sure which to go for.

People will be falling over each other to get this,especially on a Friday night at the Taxi rank :wink:

This is an absolutely fantastic price. Voted hot.

Personally, a Skoda ain't for me as I like a bit of luxury and badge matters in my line of work but you'd be silly if you don't see this as a great deal.

Doesn't this car have a fake exhaust?

Is deposit refundable ?

Is this through VWFS?

If so may be cheaper to take the lowest mileage on offer and pay excess at the end as its 6.2p+vat per mile.

Haven't done the figures on this deal but worth checking if you're interested in it.

Estate is better but prices still high. Dsg box isn't the greatest in these and a lot better in manual transmission.

Does anyone know if any lease companies allow you to use/trade in your old car as part of the deposit?

Thx

Awesome deal. Would have to pay the extra and have the DSG as Im too lazy to change gear.. :thumbsup:

The website is shocking for mobiles

20 week delivery....jeeezzzz

This will kill you on petrol :neutral_face:

I understand that the leasing is very popular within hukd-ers even though, I never understood why. So, how much this car cost to buy?

£20 a month more for the DSG box... this is tempting...

Simpsons in Preston are doing this for £999 Deposit and £220 pm x 23 with zero admin fee. I was going to jump at it last week but its a minimum 12 week pre-order. 10K Miles.

Here is a link to the deal. Just ask them to tailor the deposit down to £999 and increase the mileage in the monthly payments. It works out to roughly £220pm.

In my personal opinion the Simpson offer is way better because it reduces the initial outlay, thus reduces the price of GAP cover / deposit insurance required.

Oh. and its cheaper. :smile:

Although - I think the one I was going for was the Diesel.? Maybe your deal is for the Petrol thus, a bit more?

Great deal but the picture shows the older pre-facelift Octavia. The new shape that this lease will be looks a bit awkward at the front with the split headlights :astonished:

The Q4 2017 deals have come out and this looks like a particular steal.

It has the same deposit/admin fee as the deal posted below - but monthlies are now £24.53 cheaper (or £564.19 cheaper over the term).

If you do lower mileage, monthlies are cheaper again for the 8,000 miles p/a option (£124.32 instead of £130.82pm)
