<div class="bbWrapper">Sign up to a few leasing sites. You generally find if one is doing them on offer they all are. Once you know they are on offer shop around and play one off the other. Did this with my Golf R and the Mrs’s current A35.<br /> <br /> We ended up with an A35 premium with metallic paint and some sort of phone pack. Our deal was £2k down and £330 am month (knocked them down from £350) but only 6k miles as the mrs doesn’t do many. That’s a 4 year deal in a stock car. The company we used was Balgores leasing, but used central UK vehicle leasing a few times as well as direct through manufacturers so avoid admin fee. <br /> <br /> In comparison i hammered a few local dealers for a pcp. The same Car was costing £406 a month with £3k down. Leasing was a no brainer.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">leasing might work...until your circumstances change...such as change of job/annual mileage, new family member, loss of job...<br /> <br /> <br /> It is madness to tie debt to the &quot;asset&quot;, and I use that term lightly - finance it separately, then you own it, you an modify it, you can sell it, <br /> <br /> <br /> If you can't afford it, don't buy it.

My GTD lease cost me less to own than a purchase. I will explain. <br /> <br /> When I got the GTD the amount I paid per month over the 3 years plus the final payment to buy it was in total less than I would have cost me to buy the car myself and finance it (or if bought cash the lost interest on the savings). <br /> <br /> How? The lease company buys in bulk so higher discount than the lay man could achieve and the same goes for the finance. Then the final payment reflected the market price which was probably depressed with loads of them coming off lease.<br /> <br /> It wasnt a massive saving but circa £2-3k. Which was 10%.<br /> <br /> Im hoping the same goes for the A35. I will probably buy it at the end. My nephew will be driving by then and he fancies it. Will make a great 2nd car for him (once he has a years no claims). <br /> <br /> Sent from my SM-N9600 using Tapatalk</div>

What's the point in owning something that is worth less than the monetary value you have laid out for it? Why would it give you a poor credit rating, provided you keep to your end of the agreement?<br /> <br /> Leasing has no GFV, and it is leasing that the recent posts have been discussing. PCP terms are always worse than leasing because you're paying upfront for the option to keep the car at the end.</div>
