Car leasing for £375 /month?

Hagar_uk

Anyone know what kinds of car you get for this amount of money? none of the sites I have found (like Ling) seem to have lists based on my current needs: That being
3 year lease 35k miles a year, fully maintaned.
Currently driving a VW Passat Essate TDI 130, but guessing unlike to get anything close to that on £375

See if you can get anything from here. I preconfigured the search option to search for VW Passat Estate up to £375/month. Alot of the prices will be 10k/pa w/out maint, but you can call and see how much extra your requirements would cost.

Maintanace is normally about £20- £25 a moth extra and probley looking at about £30 extra to change it from 10,000 to 35,000 mpa, just guessing from previous leasing contracts I have had, but just ask them for a quote on a few different models your intrested in with the exact details you want and they will sort you out.

Other options for you to maybe think about.
Audi A4 Avant
Jaguar X-Type Estate
Mazda 6 Estate Probley my fav for the money.

If you leave your options open a little on just what you want then you stand a better chance at finding a good special offer somewhere. Think about a few different cars you would quite like to get and see what specials are around to ensure you get the best deal you can.

Try www.approvedcarleasing.co.uk the chap i spoke to was really helpful

i think the mileage at 35k is going to be the killer.

We have just signed contracts on our new cars, but had a budget of 450 this year. I got a Volvo C70, on 25k for 430. Plus was Leaseline, who seem way cheaper than anyone else, upgraded it to an SE model, and then the dealer called, and told me i was getting free sat nav, and keyless drive thrown in !

What i would say is prior to upping our budget we all had the same car, which was a Skoda Superb. We went for these because they are big and roomy, pretty much a Passat anyway, cheap to run, and we got all 3 for under 950 per month. These were mid range Superbs (comfort 130bhp), but pretty pretty high spec, air con, 6 cd, etc. Certainly worth looking at if you like the Passat.

Also my colleague has chosen a Passat, and hes paying alittlemore than my Volvo , so i wouldnt expect you to get one of those.

We got our secretary to try a dozen or so different companies, and Leaseline.co.uk came out cheapest on all 4 motors, thats a Seat, a BMW, a VW, and a Volvo.

On a 4 year 25k a year fully maintained basis a PASSAT DIESEL ESTATE 2.0 SE TDI 5dr is £350

A C5 DIESEL ESTATE 2.2 HDi 16V VTX+ 5dr [173] is £315 so may come out around your budget if the passat doesnt. New C5 looks nice and is german tech I believe.

Skoda will be worth looking at although a new Superb is out soon so would be better to wait for that.

ING seem to be most competitive for us.

Slightly off-topic but would you still be able to claim (mileage) tax relief on leased cars since it's not one that your company provides, although it's not really yours either?

Try here:

you can search by price and adjust for mileage and the term required.

TIP: sometimes its also cheaper to take it over 2 rather than 3 years!

out of curiosity i just tried that link, and they came out £5 per month more expensive than leaseline, on 15k per year less mileage !!

One thing i would suggest, as we did, play all the leasing companies off against each other. Once they all start coming in within a few pence of each other you know thats as good as its going to get.

When i orignally started looking at my Volov C70, it was around £50.00 over my £450 budget, but by playing suppliers against each other, got it down to £430.00, and got a higher spec model into the bargain !

As with anything shop around !

One more thing, speak to VW direct about their leasing plans. We did orginally when it looked like other cars were going to be too pricey, and they did do some really good deals on the Passats ! Not so good on the Golfs, Eos, etc, though.
