Just laughing at the advert. Heard of her before - that woman is barking! (and probably very rich!)Eg:
Hyundai i10 1.0 Advance (67bhp) Hatchback 5dr Petrol Automatic (3+35) | CAR LEASING Personal lease deals | LINGsCARS
Get a Hyundai i10 1.0 Advance (67bhp) Hatchback 5dr Petrol Automatic on a cheap personal lease (3+35) at LINGsCARS as seen on Dragons' Den
(and it’s an automatic!)
To be fair we’ve looked into leasing and were more than happy to contribute to it. But daughter said she didn’t want her first car to be brand new. Great that she’s got her mothers brains and common sense.
Never understood the ‘you’ve got nothing at the end of it’ sort of view with leasing. You’re basically paying the depreciation and finance cost for the term. You’ve had your money’s worth.
Absolutely. We’ve leased 3 cars over the years and didn’t regret any of them. Get the right deal and it’s great value.Never understood the ‘you’ve got nothing at the end of it’ sort of view with leasing. You’re basically paying the depreciation and finance cost for the term.

Buy a new car for £15k and drive it for three years. Add the cost of interest on a loan (or lack of interest on your capital if you’re bought it yourself) and then sell the car for cash at the end of the term. Not likely to be much difference and sometimes lease deals work out cheaper.
Generally speaking, if you own or drive a new or newish car expect it to cost a fair chunk.
If you buy an older car, you either get lucky or sometimes unlucky. You could easily spend more than the cost of a year’s leasing on a few larger repairs and maintenance items.
No right or wrong choice, it’s what you’re comfortable with at the end of the day and suits your needs/budget
Yeah I’ve only leased one car (an Audi A4 cabriolet about twenty years ago) but it was a decent enough car on a 2-year deal and similarly to your E-class cost me next to nothing as it was all brand new and included road tax.Absolutely.

The best was a brand new 2016 E220d Auto saloon. Metallic paint, premium plus pack and £250pm over 2 years. No service required as I simply sent it back a week before its 1st one was due. No new tyres needed either. Road tax was included in the deal. Basically fuel and insurance.
At the time a friend was paying the same per month for 2 iPhones and 2 Apple Watches for him and his misses. We had an E Class Merc.
Around £8k including the deposit but still cheaper than buying new and selling 2 years later.
£3,750
At least it’ll hold its price.£3,750
I’m not so sure Darrell.
The day trip sounds even better than the car Ant. Well done to you both, enjoyAfter extensive (obsessive?) research we collected a car from Edinburgh today.
2007 1.6 Mini Cooper with 34,606 miles. FSH. new MOT with zero advisories. 2 keys. Needs some TLC and a good clean. A fair few war wound’s but it’s mechanically sound and safe for our daughters first car.
Bus to Carlisle. Train to Edinburgh. Uber from station to the private sale. Took car for an MOT (last one was done in November with zero advisories) at D&G Autocare in Edinburgh. Passed again but well worth the money for peace of mind.
I’m buzzing about today. Love being with her. Chatted away all day long. Laughing and giggling like kids. Stopped off at a nice pub on the way home for a bite to eat. She’s a pleasure to be with. A day I’ll cherish forever.
I drove home. Quite a fun little car compared to our C Estate. Nice and smooth over the bumps. No rattles or worrying noises.
Wheels need refurbished but daughter isn’t bothered (for now). I need to chill out and let her enjoy.
Insurance was a mighty £1,411.00 on her own policy with a black box app. View attachment 141844

Not anytime soon Ant with the EV shemozzle slowing new ICE sales, and as Darrell said Mini’s are known to hold their money.I’m not so sure Darrell.
Who knows when the used car market will plummet? But at the mileage it’ll hopefully do her for a fair stint.
