Your local dealer will not match that but 18% discount is doable from dealers with the right motivation. GO test drive one anyway, there's no obligation to buy. I've test drove loads of cars i'd never buy It's a bit of a hobby.

If your local dealer can't help then I can put you in touch with a man that can.

No way you local BMW will get anywhere near that. But get a test drive anyway, as said, no obligation to buy


Be careful to watch the lease firm "admin" fees and "arrangement" charges, some firms add these on and they can mount up...

HOWEVER - When I was pricing up an M5 lease, the very best price (with no extra charges) came from a BMW fleet dealer chain in Scotland.

This guy quoted me and beat ALL the other quotes I had got previously.

How about an M5 for £469 on a 6 + 35 deal

That M5 quote if from the people I quoted in post 46 above, at 6+35 it's a very good price.

They came down to 455 for me on 6+24 and beat other quotes, but the M5 just needed to many options IMO, and that killed the deal for me.

I might try them for an M6 grande coupe with competition pack in 18 months time

Are they business only? Their website isn't very clear but I suspect it will be.

[davyk31]

The M5 above is 569 is it not and add VAT for private.

[doughboy]

Yes that price is not inc VAT.

Even if they say "business lease only" they will always (in my experience) offer it to you on a personal lease if you ask, they want the orders!

Even if you are a business and have a business lease you still have to pay the VAT on the payments, but of course you offset it on your VAT return every quarter.

Latest Golf R

Personal 6+23 deal - £293.99 fully maintained

http://www.gateway2lease.com/z_volks...p#.Uu0sgoOnwup

[phil200tdi]

That gt86 for £150+vat is mental..

Just looked again and it's £266+vat now...

[davyk31]

Even a VAT registered business can only claim back half the VAT unless the car is used totally for business purposes with no private use at all.

[davyk31]

That Golf R is a pretty tasty deal. £1800 deposit and £300 per month for full maintenance.

Im going to lease my next car (e250 cdi coupe amg sport)

Annoying thing is just before Christmas the prices where amazing £315 for 9+23
But now have shot up to well over £400!! But speaking to a few leasing company's Mercedes will slash them again. So when looking at the prices they can be very volatile so dont just buy first one you see at the time.

Im playing the waiting game for the e250 coupe amg prices to drop again then ill buy

How much maintenance would you expect on a 2 year 20k lease?

I think many people driving it normally would see 20k out a set of tyres and surely you'd only face one minor service?

If you can squeeze into the e350 then I would, the 250 engine is a little rough but the 350 is amazing, it even sounds good!!!

Last time I checked there was not much in it.

Two services and a set of tyres I imagine would be about it, just nice to have it all included in a decent monthly. Would be wise for someone going for that deal to check how much it is without maintenance to see if its worth it or not to include maintenance.

Looking into getting an M 135i on a 2year lease but can't seem to find any decent deals now.

If anyone knows of any decent deal or any contact then please let me know.

Thanks

I think they are all done and dusted. I know some companies have a waiting list, for cancelled orders.
Gateway2Lease do, and there were a couple of cars available that had been ordered and then leaser pulled out. Give them a ring.

As said, too late bud.

Most lease deals are short lived and are set by manufacturers pushing out cars to reach targets, when they're gone they're gone.

Why not go for whatever is cheap at the time, rather than pick a model and see what you can get it for if you get my drift?

Keep looking every week with deposit ready and be open minded about other models.

I didn't want an E63, but had one because they were cheap, glad I moved away from BMW for the time being, life's too short to stick with one brand.

I'd love to come back, but only if there's a deal on something in 18 months time.

Then I can say I've ticked that AMG box and move on to something else.

For £293/month on a Golf R, I'm interested, have asked for a quote

[rogerxp]

£239 for a Golf R today. 6+23, 10k, manual (DSG £10 more). I'm getting a quote too

[mowflow]

Golf r is deal of the moment. It's also faster round the ring than the M lite ;P
