Dem,Are those unbelievable deals real? Every time i ask they tell me its expired or the last one was taken an hour ago.......
Local dealer said the same. As far as I can see it is the 180 hp engine though.They were there to be had. There is a deal on Scirocco R now.
Dem,
The Golf deal was real.
They started with white, black and metallic and the whites sold within hours. By this morning only metallic was left with 37 around mid morning.
I spoke to the contact Phil posted and also the local VW dealer who both gave the same story.
I was told they would be gone before 5pm and in the time it took to get paperwork approved they had all gone.
Local dealer says they used to just do entry level deals but the Golf R was the first high performance one she had seen but sure there will be more to follow.
That's insane!!hot uk deals list a few, or there's a long running thread on pistonheads
there have been some cracking deals on it recently including a skoda yeti monte carlo DSG for £750 down, £80 a month 9+ 23 8K PA
That's insane!!
Almost a free car.
Next time I am going
To lease a second car for sure
Golf R estate around £220 per month
https://www.whatcar.com/car-leasing...10-r-5dr-4motion-dsg/personal/1555598/#prices
£7129 over two years or £11491 over three years for a private punter at 10k miles pa with no options on the car, if you want them they will be written off entirely over the length of the lease so, say, a £1000 glass roof will cost you an extra £41 or £28 per month. Not cheap really.
Are my maths off bob?
750 + 80x24(1920) = 2670 over 2 years.
I probably spend more on energy drinks.

Sorry mate can't get the link to work anymore.
I agree that if you want to have a minimal option car for only 2 or 3 years then leasing makes sense. However these deals are only set up to feed the production line with short term ownership customers who keep coming back for more....it's too controlling for me and locks you into the shiny new car addiction. A 9+23 also looks cheaper than the traditional 3+35. It's cynical marketing and will probably be regulated more strongly in the future as it is mis-representation designed to make you only look at the monthly payment not the huge deposit.
I prefer to buy the spec I really want and keep the car twice the length as depreciation is much less that way. Cash or PCP works for this. PCP is good as you can give the car back after, say, three years if the world ends or you can pay off the balance with cash or
an unsecured car loan, draw down mortgage etc.
Some friends of ours run both their cars on lease, a BMW M4 convertible and a top spec Range Rover Sport.
I can't imagine what the lease payments must be but they change their cars every 2 years.
I don't understand this. It can't be that much cheaper than running a PCP with a balloon payment and there, at least, you have some equity in the car with the option to buy at the end of it. The only thing I can think is that its fixed costs but it seems like even more money down the drain than usual where new cars are involved.
