where to lease used cars?

pensivegerbil

Hi folks

Have googled a fair bit but have found very little....I was hoping to be able to lease a ''prestige'' nearly new/slightly used car....rather than go the lease a 0km route to save a few bucks. Maybe this market really is that tiny?

e.g brand new Audi TT 6+35 = 275 quid/month (i.e 1650 deposit) 8k miles p.a

versus (from the only website I've found, time4leasing):

nearly new same model 1+23 = 260 quid/month (i.e 260 deposit), 10k miles p.a

Part of the thrill is in the chase, so I was hoping others might be aware of other websites/companies offering used car leasing?

There's only a small market for it because it's easier for the lease company to buy 1000 brand new golf's from VW uk at a massive discount than try to round up 1000 used ones of various specs from auction houses around the country.

Price differentail will be minimal.

If I was leasing I'd go new.

Makes sense, thanks.

I make it about a 22% saving over the term of a 2yr lease for the car I'm looking at with under 10k miles on it versus same model new. (6250 v 8K gbp)

That's assuming you've found the cheapest of the cheapestate deals avail on an audi tt.

Also - and I'm sure you won't -I wouldn't assume that there is that level of saving achievable for every car every time

Appreciate your time and input motorguy...

You're quite right, mostly savings aren't quite this big. I've searched long and hard for the best leasing price on a TT though (not my first choice originally tbh).

I'm surprised none of the car supermarkets offer leasing on their low mileage stock. Low demand and they make more on PCPs etc I guess.

No probs.

THeres a long running thread on pistonheads you might find interesting - its all the latest (and hopefully best) leasing deals that are around. Also people will give you feedback on whether a particular deal is a good one or not and often point you to other deals.
