Car Leasing

Hi Forumites,

I am looking at leasing my next car as I do around 25k-30k/year. I am thinking about a budget of around £500-550/month and plan on using it for business and leisure. I'll need a 7-seater for the family so just wondered what 7 seaters are recommended? Also does anyone have experiece of good leasing companies? My ideal car would be a Land Rover Discovery 4 or Volvo XC90 - extra points to any forum users who can find me one within budget! Thanks. Jon

    best bet is to speak to the leasing companies and see what deals are around..

    there do appear to be some deals on the xc90, but its around 524 quid including vat for 10,000k not sure what difference 25-30k would make

  • You won't get either of those vehicles for your budget I'm afraid - unless you want to go 6+35, and even then I still think you'll struggle.

    As a general guide you'll need to keep the tax list price under £30k to get within your budget (exc VAT) on 25k mpa, 3+35

    A Nissan Qashqai+2 sits in your budget and is 7 seater?

    Check out lings cars, usually some good deals on there and she's an honest car leaser, doesn't hide any costs etc like most do.

    http://www.lingscars.com/Volvo/XC90-leasing/cheap-contract-hire.html

    £466 on a 3 + 47 (inc VAT)

    or

    £504 on a 3 + 35

    Other cheaper options:

    - Chevy Captiva
    - Citroen C-Crosser...
    - Nissan Qashqai + 2
