Incredibly unlikely, this is likely to be achieved by stricter and stricter emissions standards applied to new cars. Given the government is entirely responsible for the size of the UK diesel fleet by pushing everyone towards them through basing all forms of vehicle taxation on CO2 emissions, it cannot suddenly turn around and ban them, just like it didn't ban existing cars without catalytic converters for example.

Around £200-250 , before the leasegate scandal broke and prices for the 7R shot-up, the early M135i's around £200 before word got around and prices went up... , Luckly i got in the R before the lease deal's dried up :)

Leasegate?
 
Just so you know I had a 125d and traded in at 2 years old and only got 16k for it so 24k trade in after 2 years is unrealistic as they're selling on at 20k at 2 year old.

This is a good deal.
 
Another bonus with leases I suppose is you know in advance exactly what you're paying each year. It's not left to chance how much your trade in will be at the end, so you can financially plan accordingly.
 
Has anyone used FleetPrices before? It seems they're a small company acting as a broker, no problem with that at all but I'm I just supposed to trust them with all the details you have to submit for a credit check?

Also their broker fee is not included in the OP or on their website (that I could see), although it's not large by any means.
 
I notice maintenance isn't included. What are the service intervals on a 125d? Presumably with a new car it needs a 1000 mile oil change too? Would the first service be FOC? Do you have to take it to BMW for the services?

Maintenance is never included on leases unless specifically requested and its rarely a good deal.

You can, however, request a custom quote with options added and a service pack is an option on the 1 Series.

But really you'd need just one service over the term of the lease so it's hardly going to break the bank.

It does not need a 1000 mile oil change. Probably just one at between 15k and 25k depending on how you drive it.

I was expecting it to be fake deals or something.

What a bunch of numpties. Did they really think it'd work :confused:

Nobody forces you to trade in your car after two years.If it is on any kind of purchase scheme the car can be sold privately. Retail value is not used to calculate the depreciated cost

These deals are worked out on the difference between what the lease co can purchase for vs trade price with their interest added, the exact same way a pcp is calculated - get a good enough discount from new and it will work out exactly the same unless it is on a horrendous rate.

Get a good enough discount privately and it will work out....exactly the same if not slightly better depending on finance rates using the same two year example.

I'd imagine most people that are buying brand new/nearly new cars and get rid of them after 2 years are not selling privately.

The market is thin for private sales at the predicted £24k value in 2 years time, because people spending that much don't buy their car of some randomer on autotrader.

However you want to work it out, its a excellent deal. For those that have £30k in the bank, this means they are free to utilise that in a better way for 2 years. For those that don't (the majority), you are paying way less than depreciation + interest on the loan.

Ownership is overrated..
 
It depends on what your idea of a 'mad deal' is.

This particular deal is almost certainly cheaper than purchasing a discounted 125d M Sport with absolutely zero spec and then trading it in 2 years later.

Does that automatically make it an amazing deal that everyone should rush out and sign up for? Well no, not really - it's still £5500 to borrow a 1 Series with nil specification and then hand it back again.

If you were next week planning to purchase this car then this deal is a no brainer. Sign up, do it, it'll cost you less.

For everyone else there are probably better ways to drive a half decent car for 2 years then a 2 litre diesel 1 Series with cloth seats.

He likes to exaggerate for effect, while not being technically incorrect (so he can then argue for hours when you call him on it).

But it's completely devoid of any options at all and if you want any you'll find the cost escalate from the tempting headline price very quickly. Thats my point.

You've missed my point. The deals are not calculated on purchas price vs retail or private price. It's current to trade with interest for the loan duration.

It therefore shouldn't matter whether you buy, lease or pcp - if you can get a good enough purchas price the only theoretical difference is interest .

Unless of course they've made a total meal of the predicted value, which doesn't happen very often anymore.

For what its worth and with regsrds the specific model I'd be interested in trying one, once they're facelifted at least, i couldn't stomach spending the money to drive around in something that looks like the 2014 car

Actually it was not all the individual's at fault. A few brokers out there were selling BCH's as PCH's unknown to the individual customer's who were not self employed and went along with the paperwork given it only got out as it was leaked on HotDeals site that brokers were submitting forms to VW as BCH, still those that got in early enough were luckly, prices started to steadily rise once the orders came in and VW wanted to know why 500+ orders of golf 7R just appeared :)
 
I thought the business lease deals where the same as the personal deals just quoted ex VAT. Meaning that if an person wasn't VAT registered it would effectively cost the same?

I can't see any reason why a lease company would rent you something at a cheaper rate just because they're renting to a business.

Or am I missing something?
