    This is something I have covered numerous times on here and you get the feeling nobody ever uses the search function to explore previous posts.
    Did you mean to be so rude? I am a long time user of the site, have used the search function before for leasing cars but wanted to discuss it seeing as this thread was posted while I was scanning the new posts.

    I found a deal which costs me £253 per month. 10k mileage.
    24 Months contract
    Qashqai+2
    Does this seem like a good deal?

    Have you done the sums versus pcp, hp etc.

    Have you compared that car against other cars?

    How many months up front (if 6 it is probably expensive)?

    If only 3 it would be within the ball park but I haven't run the numbers.

    Why not look for a similar car (ie less than £20k to buy) that you can lease for around the £200/month that would be a good deal.

    I have compared and found the leasing the chePEST here.

    Initial payment is £1259.94
    £209.99 x 23 months.

    Works to £253 approx per month.

    This car is under 20k no?
    Need a 7 seater which isnt huge in driving.

    £6000 to rent a car for 2 years :eek::eek::eek:


    £6000 would do at least 6 years worth of motoring for me.

    It depends on your mpg, our old Saab is currently doing 22mpg, one of the cars we are thinking of leasing does 70mpg, so what we are paying out in petrol at the moment is something like £240 a month. If we lease a car for £142 a month plus petrol will probably be less than what we are paying out now just on petrol.
