I wouldn't mind one of these, shame you can't fit aa tow bar. Or at least not from factory.
Didn't notice that. I changed the initial rental to 3 months and increased the miles to 10,000 it dropped to £180 with a monthly of about £377 (including VAT).

£11,062.58 over the two years, £460.95/month, or 35% MSRP. Not a great deal really, although the mileage is a big factor in that.
7 pence.
An alternate deal is a crimson red Passat GT 1.4 150 PS which is 6/23 20k £294.84 +vat. It's going to be over 20k anyway as commuting mileage will be around 19k. But I will have a second car so it isn't going to be a huge amount.
So £700, meaning if the same car on 10k lease is more than £29 cheaper per month overall, that would be a better way to do the deal.
Edit - a quick look around suggests you'd be looking at more like £260+vat for 10k, so that seems worth looking into.
On the GTD?
Yes, that was still referring back to the GTD.
Upping mileage on leases often seems to work out significantly more expensive than taking the low mileage option and paying the mileage charge at the end, as long as you can be disciplined enough to ensure you keep the extra money put aside each month (or otherwise ensure you have the lump at the end).
If you were really sad like me, it'd be worth making a spreadsheet that you can drop the numbers into that calculates total costs and average monthly costs for different lease structures
The sweet spot for you could lie at 8k, 10k, 15k...

Where do people look for lease deals? Just random googling?

There's a huge thread in the Car Buying forum on Piston Heads where people often post good deals. Also worth signing up to e-mail offers with a few brokers.
