Lease - To wait or take the plunge...

chris1012

So my current lease is coming to an end in June 2017.
In Jan 2017 we enquired about leasing a Skoda Kodiaq (we require a 7 seater SUV) and was hoping to pay a maximum of £350 a month for the top spec however at the time the best price they could offer was £375 (3+23, 10k PA).
The dealer advised us to wait until April 2017 where prices could drop - a risk we took.

Now in April for the same car/spec the prices have actually increased...Now it will cost us over £500 per month!!!
I know there has been changes recently with the VED increase, which hasn't helped our cause as well.

Would it be advisable to see if things settle over the next 2 months and possibly reduce or take the plunge on a lower spec while upping our budget to £400 a month?
