I've been looking around for a while for a lease deal and over the weekend noticed the Skoda Scala SE was the cheapest to lease on a number of websites.

I contacted my local dealer on Monday morning and they were able to match the deal.

I went for the SE L model so it was slightly more expensive.

These are my figures:

Cost breakdown for the deal I've gone for:
£148.06 per month
£444.17 initial payment
£300 broker fee

8000 miles is cheaper than 5000 for some strange reason.

I got this via my local dealer. My local dealer is www.dmkeith.com . If anyone is interested in this or a similar deal you can use the contact from on their website here: Contact Us | Yorkshire & Grimsby | D. M. Keith ŠKODA (dmkeith.com) and they will get back to you.

I appreciate leasing is not for everyone, but it suits us and this I think is a really good deal on a decent family car.

    Any association with the company?  This post smells lightly of luncheon meat.

    None at all just sharing a good deal. I've been on here a long time. Saw the deal via a broker on car wow and asked my local dealer if they could match it which they did. Finalised my order this morning and asked them if others could get the same deal, was told yes and to pass on the details above. Certainly not spam.

    That meets my criteria of a great deal, all in monthly payments aggregated across the term less than 100th of the cost to buy.

    I agree hence sharing it. The SE model is even cheaper at £134.78 a month + 3 months down payment of £404.85 + broker fee of £300. This is £3804.38 over the term.

    Looks like a cracking deal.  Good to see there are still some decent lease deals out there.  I had heard they were thin on the ground recently

    So this car is a slightly sportier version of the Fabia Estate and list price starts at £20k for that trim option.

    A two-year deal costing only £4k is quite amazing.

    Leasing is not for everyone, but when set out like this, it's hard to argue against.

    It's the Skoda version of the VW Golf and Seat Leon. 14 week lead times on this deal as they are factory orders. 

    As you say, most new cars have lost 4k just as you drive them away, I'd rather take a deal like this any day of the week.

    That price you quoted is keener than even Ling.

    The CarWow website now has a different configuration, lower monthlies but much larger first payment.  The absolute entry level works out £3.7k over two years, or £154 monthly equivalent if the total cost is spread.

    You can change the upfront payment and duration at the top of the carwow webpage. As I've said local dealer are able to match the prices, just as mine has. I'd rather give the local dealer business when they can do the same deal.

    How does the lease compare to purchase after any discount or incentives?
