Been seeing S4 deals everywhere. Seemed too good to be true in a lot of cases. If I wasn't stuck in a current agreement I'd have been all over it
Point them out then.
The one I was e-mailed from https://www.stablevehiclecontracts.co.uk/ was £325 per month, initial payment of £2k, 24 months, 5k miles paPoint them out then.

Is that something worth looking into? I know it's PCP and not a lease but it doesn't seem too bad, although the excess mileage charge is higher than VW's.

PCH = lease
Have I done my spreadsheet/figures/man maths right?
If so, it looks like going for the 20k per year option works out the cheapest.
I know it's silly to choose options and in an ideal world I wouln't, however the above spec is in Germany and can be with me within 5 weeks. I don't really want to wait for a factory order.
The vRS seems a solid car, sure I don't get the fancy active display or adaptive cruise, but then it's quite a bit cheaper compared to a GTD plus they're actually available.

You do if you wait for the model year update this summer.
Yeah their prices for higher mileage seem very reasonable so if you are definitely going to be doing that then it would make sense to go with the higher mileage deals.
If there's a chance it could all change round again in 12 months and you wouldn't have to do much driving then maybe go with a lower number and risk an overpayment?

Famous last words but I’ll be there for a number of years.

That's what I did, albeit after I had ordered.
That's what we did when considering a Tiguan. VW themselves offer pretty good leasing deals.
If VWFS are the funder, the business side of the dealership should be able to match it without any admin fees.
If it's funded by an external source (eg. Arval, Alphabet) then usually the dealer wouldn't have access to the deal.

I know you have opted for 20k miles but those numbers are a hefty price to pay compared to what was available 6 months ago.
By comparison, for the VRS 245 DSG with 10k miles per year I am paying £1807 initial and £190 per month with no fee.
I've seen Simpsons mentioned a lot and they were always considerably more than lease companies when I was looking. For that kind of price I'd be looking at a high spec superb if you want to stick with Skoda.
Not always the case, I rang around 15 different Skoda dealers and only 1 could match the dealer price and they had to charge me a fee too but I'd rather order direct from the dealer. Some of the quotes I were getting were ridiculous, twice the price on the monthly payments with the same initial payment and they just shrugged when I asked why it was so much more expensive.
