Audi A3 sport back if that's the type of car your after

 

The A class looks good but isn't all that underneath

This. 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)

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?

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

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.

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?

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...
