Not too bad really, and £400 p.m. (I presume) will hardly break the bank.

My seat was costing me over £250 a month taking into account tax and insurance etc. But it was falling appart and getting expensive to keep running.

An extra £150 a month for worry free motoring I'm happy with. We still have an 04 plate focus but it's only done 32k and doesn't cost much to maintain.

To go on a finance plan from vw on an identical spec car is £500 a month. I'd have to pay insurance tyres etc with that too so I think it's a good deal to be honest.

But you'd own a car at the end of the payment term - sounds like a good deal to me.

Which extras did you go for?

Considered te kuga. Sadly only fwd andore expensive on the lease?!?

No that was for 3 years then a one off final payment of 14k so I wkuld not own the car at the end. I did look at that.

what! what a weird scheme!

Why? You're mainly paying for the depreciation when you lease a car, I imagine the Kuga loses more value over the term than a Tiguan so it therefore costs more to lease.

I think vw give them a massive discount as all the vw models were good value.

Extras we had

metalic paint (blue)
auto wipers and lights
cruise control
iPod connection
parking sensors with the strange auto parrallel park function

I guess I'm comparing it to retail offers that's all.
