Cheaper PCP on cars..

I am looking to get a new car, I have already got a Peugeot 107 and am looking to upgrade to a Peugeot 208 or similar, and am struggling to get something affordable for myself, is there any way I can get the prices down?

    If you want a cheaper deal then look specifically for deals rather than restrict yourself to a specific car. See if there are any 0% deals anywhere, I know Volvo ae currently doing one.

    You need to find something thats not popular.

    A basic model or a horrible colour etc. Then it maybe a bit cheaper.

    Wait for an old stock model. But you have decided on a 208 so rather limited.

    Unlikely but worth asking them if they will put it on the new deal you've found

    0% finance and zero discount.

    Or 7% finance and £2000 off?

    Remember with Leasing and Contract Hire it isn't the cost of the car that matters as much as how much it depreciates over the time you own it. This is what you need to pay for.

    So, the deals that are cheap are where either the lease company has secured a good deal from the manufacturer, so the drop in price over time is lessened, or the car is one that holds it's value well.

    Sometimes a more expensive car can be cheaper to lease.
