Best leasing company?

cw212010

Hi all,

I currently lease a 2011 BMW 5 series from a local lease-purchase company, this is my second vehicle with them.

I normally have the car paid off and owned within 2.5 years, however the one I have has a particularly high mileage and it's starting to be a little iffy.

Can anyone recommend a good leasing company? I don't want to go direct to manufacturer but I'd like to stay in the BMW/Audi/Mercedes or similar sort of area.

Unfortunately my credit isn't 100% as I'm currently in the process of suing a company who have given me a default, however this hasn't affected me of late and therefore don't want to go down the HP route.

I have looked online, but I'm not sure who to trust or how getting a lease deal online works.

Thanks

The bad website is by design, not used them myself but everyone I've heard about using them have nothing but good things to say

How do you propose to prove you are good credit risk when you have been made redundant?

I'm now back working in a 33k a year job. I was redundant for around a month so it's no major blip (hopefully).

Is there a method in that madness?

I'm currently going with Freedom, my boss suggested them as he has a few friends who have used them. I don't have my car yet but so far they've price matched for me, replies to questions are almost instant, they email asking for documents and I just email them back it's been so straightforward.

If you lease you don't normally own the vehicle.

So how can you usually "own" your vehicle after 2.5yrs?

There is long thread on Pistonheads about the best leases, well worth a look.

On my 4th lease with Ling. Never had any issues.

I found my lease car through this site. Ended up going with gateway2lease who seem efficient so far.

Lings prices for BMWs didn't look competitive to me when I was comparing deals.
