BIK is half. Big number on 8% BIK, per month

40k+ car is £40 a month

Are you even on a SS ? They are massively competitive especially 60-45% tax band

Yes and the the base price of the lease on the vast majority of cars I priced through the portal was considerably higher than what I could get by going private after factoring in the other relevant costs costs (insurance, servicing etc.) I’d need to pay on a private lease/PCP.

The difference in price between private and SS after the tax incentive isn’t anything like you’d expect given how much tax you are meant to be saving.

It was only competitive because of the tax incentive. When you reduce (and eventually remove) the tax incentive, you take away their pricing advantage. It will not take much to swing things back in favour of taking the cash and buying your own car as it was before. Yes it will take a lot more at if you are in the 60% marginal band due to the silly tax system but that not really impacting the vast majority of the salary sacrifice market.

I feel like I’m repeating myself.

Can you find me a born for £280 a month net please. Everything included ?

You are repeating yourself as you just say your opinion and don’t factor in others so obviously you just keep saying the same stuff.

Point is on a lease no one cares the price of the car. Just the monthly. On a SS retail matters as that’s the BIK So your comment ‘no one pays full price’ is a bit confusing.

You seem to think tax incentive is only BIK too ?

Anyway people have different needs. Tax bands and views on this and your assumptions seem to be your view which is fine. I give another view and you seem intent on telling me I’m wrong and making assumptions people will go away from SS

Can someone with a model y tell me how wide it is. Getting 3 different measurements lol. It may only be +3 inches on my pug which puts it back in as favourite....
 
Almost 4 months on from initial order it seems my q8 etron sportsback is about to be cancelled due to them winding down and closing the only factory that produces them in Belgium in feb. Back to square one. The salary sacrifice offer options are limited. Can get a competitive price on an IX MSport. Went to see one in the flesh as it doesn’t look great on videos but in person it didn’t seem so offensive and the inside styling seems nice. Coming from a 2017 sportage it’s going to be quite the jump.

Typically an old dear tried to navigate a busy roundabout locally (talke roundabout if you’re from Stoke) by going all the way around in the outside lane and collided with my wife on Friday so need to get that sorted before we get a new car on the drive. Might sit on it now until post Christmas. Meh

@Goodie - interim looks like it should be here within a week or so - Nissan Aryia

Then a kick in the proverbials that looks like Audi are going to **** their Belgian factory which makes the Etron Q8 and therefore me getting mine looks like a very slim chance indeed .....

Spoke to Octopus a short while ago and they're going to get back to me with the latest "nearly new" list - failing that I'm thinking Q6 Quattro Edition 1 with Sound and Vision Pack, Pano roof, towbar and carbon fibre mirrors

Works out almost the same price as the fully loaded Q8!

But

Anticipated delivery July to September next year

Will keep you updated

Long story short - "nearly new" Etron GT being delivered tomorrow!

I did see that when I read this morning, jealous! Annoyed with the situation as I think this was coming before they accepted both our orders. The letter stating issues that was only sent to me a few weeks back was posted on Reddit back in July, word for word. I’m a man that holds a grudge even to my own detriment so it’ll be a long time before I consider Audi again.

Hope you get sorted soon mate :)
