Wanna: Lease hire a car

AdrianHi

My Mum used to have an A3 5 door, nice car she liked. Then she wanted a convertible, test drove the convertible A3 and I talked her into trying a BMW 120i convertible. After that the A3 was dismissed as a dull car to drive, she has a 120i now and loves it.
I'm not trying to talk you into a 1 series (just gently hinting to try one:p;)) but it's worth remembering we only live once and all that, so if the Scirroco is affordable and you love it, do it!

I don't see the point in wasting money and a car I don't like when I can have one I do like for a little more, so long as I can afford it. Otherwise you might as well go really cheap with Vauxhall Corsa or somthing similar.

You need to test drive these cars if you haven't already.

Sorry to revive an old thread, but I totally disagree with AdrianHi. Case in point. I picked up a one year old BMW 530d with 6k on the clock. Dealer list price new for that model was £46k. I got it for £29k on a PCP plan. New, the car on PCP would have been over £900 a month. I pay £380 a month. How is buying new any better?

I'm back in this situation where I want a used car on PCP but can't seem to find the website I used before who would quote based on the reg of the vehicle.

I never said buying new was better and in fact what you did with that 530d is exactly in line with my philosophy and the point I was trying to make.

If you don't mind me asking, in order to pay £380/month, how much deposit did u have to place? Also did you finance the car directly through BMW? The reason I ask is because I am in a similar situation (want to purchase used BMW for £25k) but can't get such low monthly payments...

Thanks

Sure, I paid £7k deposit.

As BMW are their own bank (they supply their own finance) you can haggle the APR. Mine was 4% after some negotiating. The APR is often where the margins can make a bif difference.
