You'll get more for your money with the A3 although I think you have to pay extra for indicator bulbs in the Audi (and possibly the Merc too) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birch-chorley Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Contract hire new cars always And they're not 35k btw But contract hiring will save you the depreciation Grand deposit plus 250 per month max I thought with contract hire you are basically paying the depreciation plus the profit margin of the middle man? Granted its a good way to do it, especially if you have a business and can write off the VAT but I don't think you ever get away from paying the depreciation which ever way you get a new motor?

Site Supporter HomerJay Posted August 1, 2014 Site Supporter Share Posted August 1, 2014 Only 50% of the vat You can get 30k cars for 200 per month. Would cost 600 to finance The Depreciation would be more like 400 per month Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would cost 600 to finance The Depreciation would be more like 400 per month Who is paying the depreciation then? The 3rd party also need to make a profit so your paying 2 margins surely? Unless the manufacturer gives the leasing firms massive discounts due to there scale? Saying that though Audis / VW have stopped playing ball with many leasing companies and both makes disappeared off the car list at my last place because of it.

Moderators Carlos Posted August 2, 2014 Moderators Share Posted August 2, 2014 I don't understand it. Just as you get the train out of town to TM, there's a fucking massive yard full of Audis, I assume belonging to Bolton Audi. I reckon 200+ cars, plus their normal stock. £4 million worth, depreciating? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whites man Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Will be regional stock not just Bolton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jules_darby Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 (edited) Just got missus Jules a Nissan Quashqui on a lease deal direct from Nissan and it appears pretty reasonable to me. Her last/current motor was a Citroen DS4 on a lease and it's the 1st time we've paid for a car this way. I dare say it appears preferable to buying outright and having to deal with selling it etc when you want a new one. Considering the method for when I next change...
