Can't believe how cheap A4s can be had on a lease, £200 a month for a 1.4 T FSI Sport with a decent spec. Probably as much car as most people would ever need for day to day stuff. No wonder the roads are flooded with them.
 
For £200 a month what kind of down payment is that and mileage? Lease prices are hugely dependant on those factors.

Good choice, the A5 would have been total garbage, as a car it predates the previous model A4 let alone the current one. They've been flogging that now thoroughly dead horse since 2007!

The new A4 will be a far better car than the A5.

New A5 is coming 2017 I believe.

Crazy good deal. I am guessing that is a brand new variation of the 2.0 TFSI if its making 250+ ps?
 
Yes 252ps. It will the 2016 model on a 66 plate.

Pick up the Golf on Monday. Just need to endure it for 6 months.

For the deal it's really impossible not to say that that's a cracking deal, and a great car for the price.

It depends on the next and the next car.. I assume as the scheme goes on depreciation and OP still has the say to which car they get each time.

Only issue I can see is that it's a company car and mr tax man would see that as such. Even if you paid towards it.

It's not a company car. It's a scheme that VAG employees get access to, for them and up to 2 additional family members. It's used to generate used car stock, so the monthly cost is nominal.

I didn't say it would be.

It's a VAG scheme with a 30% chance he works for VAG, which could (not would) mean it's a taxable benefit and why I asked?
 
The tax side is complex (I look after the scheme at another OEM), but yes there is no taxable benefit.
 
I bet.

I assume there must be a point that a staff discount scheme steps over a threshold and becomes a BIK, but that has to be assessed against predefined rules. How those rules could be written to be fair and consistent across types and values must be very complex if they are to be fair and relevant for all.
 
Same as JLR. The employees buy the car with a credit deal that means xyz a month, then handed back at end of term with the car value covering the remaining credit - unless they opt to buy it outright. Its never a company car, hence no tax.

Very much like a PCP then? Assume the rates are quite favourable?

The fact they buy the car, isn't why there is no tax liable. Otherwise motor corps would be selling cars at 50% off in their packages to attract/keep talent.
