That's crap, look on leasing.com for motoplan, 1+35 deal on a black pack, 8,000 miles, £263. Might be a touch more for the estate but I didn't notice that first time and closed the tab
That looks to be for a manual
Good lease deals on less than great cars

True, there are other deals on there though, still cheaper total cost than the £11k+ you're looking at.
Have you looked at pcp through carwow or a broker? There's been a good few year end sale deals cropping up.
Wasn't really looking for my self. Looking for the wife a cx5 and saw it. Im not looking to actually do anything for a few months but am checking prices out for an idea of a good deal when the time comes.
Good/great leases have died a dead in the last 12 months or so. It's a real struggle to find anything decent at all. The days of deals around/under 20% of list price have long since gone.
Nothing amazing around these days - I keep an eye out weekly for great lease deals but nothing comes close to the last 2 leases i've had.
Current - Golf Gti - 3 + 23 @ £230 a month on 10k (then extended for another 12 months at £191 a month!!!)
previous - vRS estate DSG - 1 + 35 - £240 a month on 10k

I thought our 530e deal 6 months ago was good worked out at less than 20%.

I always compared it against the broadspeed and car wow prices to see the comparison of lease vs buy. As you say though booyaka 5eres nothing really any good out there at present.

I agree with Fox about the list price that should be £50000 and you could get one for £40000, even so I am paying less than the depreciation over that time so still a happy bunny. It works out at 22% of the lower figure.
Anyone know if a new octavia is due out?
I have been looking at deals and the price has dropped slowly
I've seen a petrol auto VRS for £302 deposit £302 per month, no admin fees. There are a couple just under £300 per month but have admin fees and cost more overall
1+35 months
8k miles per year
total cost £10892 so £3630 per year
Thats the cheapest i have seen for around 6 months.

sorry to keep bumping this thread
i don't know why but I've got it in my head that you should lease for 3 years max.
What are down sides to leasing for 4 years?
You are responsible for the repair bills on someone else's car.

Whilst a different kettle of fish, at work we lease vans and switched to 4 years from 3 years just before I joined the company. I can say that we have noticed considerably more issues with the vans which are in their last year / 6 months compared with the earlier vans. Potentially more trouble than they're worth at that point but it does push back another initial payment another year. They do 20k or so a year and aren't exactly treated well though.sorry to keep bumping this thread

2 - 3 years is the optimal lease time - servicing, warranty etc.
Don't know if i mentioned here, but we recently took delivery of the new Seat Tarracco 2l - £268 per month + £19 maintanance pack (includes service and tyres etc) 8k miles and was £500 deposit with £199 fee.

If you can extend the warranty for a reasonable price. None I think.
Obviously adding that extra year can mean you stop spending so much on depreciation.
4 cars x 3 years over 12 years or
3 cars x 4 years over 12 years?

A 4 year lease can work out more expensive once you factor in repairs and servicing
- Many cars are 2yr / 18k service interval. A 4 year lease potentially means a second service (£200-£300)
- You'll have to MOT it (£50)
- It will likely be outside the manufacturers warranty for the last year so you'll be liable for the repairs (£?)
- Depending on your mileage you might not need any new tyres on a 2 year lease. On a 4 year you will (£400?)
Caporegime
With only doing 8k a year how much maintenance does it need?
Permabanned
Probably at least 1 service and 1 set of tyres in that time. Not sure maintenance is worthwhile on such low mileage though.
Not to mention that the monthlies are often not that different to a 2/3 year lease term, so you end up covering depreciation cost and more for the last year or two of the lease.
Well if you could, do a 3+35.
You can get the following
10k per annum
£276.22 monthly payment
£828.66 initial
£300 admin
works out to £10,796.36 or just under £3600 a year and and could get it cheaper depending on the mileage but from personal experience 8/10k doesn't make a massive difference (unless you go over).
