Bye bye GTI

...... If this credit crunch hadn't hit us you would have paid what £24k?? I don't think the case for or against leasing has been made yet... I have seen new r32 2 year leases with www.myfleet.co.uk for circa £270 pm, 2 years + 3 months up front.

Only real downside to leasing is the potential costs to repair any damage at the end of the term, when audi took back their A6 I got shafted for scuffed alloys and a scratch on the underside of the front splitter (you would never have noticed it unless the car was on a ramp)... The cost to me £1000. They didn't even repair it, they punted it straight to an auction house!!! I contested it stating they were committing fraud as they cannot charge vat on work they didn't do. On the end I gave them £300 to make the credit collection Nazis go away.

Offer of the month ! - Golf R32 -£286pm over 24 months. Thats a pretty good deal to me.I over looked leasing when purchasing my MK5. Only thing is the limited miles thing would have been an issue to me, but could have extended. Does really matter anymore as Iv got the MK5 now.

Anyone fancy an R8 for £1296pm ? Would still need to find £7776 from somewhere for the initial payment.

^^^^ yes thats a good price but 6 payments up front + 24 payments means you are no better off than buying if you want to. There aint no such thing as a free meal

Your total  £20800, mine 19k for my brand new r32 decent spec r32 to do what i want with it,sell when i want,mod it, give it my sister, cash is always king in my eyes 

The difference is... and a big one at that. That I have never had to pay out a lump sum of 25k or even 19k for that matter. Nor have I payed any interest, or road tax.

Dont disagree about cash being king..


Although mine has all the spec I could possibly want except mfsw and highline. dont want the leather and cant think of anything else I could need.

Thats not a bad price but I have just spotted one for £237pm (+vat) Which all in all comes in at £100pm cheaper than what I am currently paying. Think I might just be getting a new for old R32 Might go for the blue this time tho

If I had a buyer for my gti I would go for it. I thought it was a 3+23 deal though not 6+23, will have another look later.   Just did it's 6 however they also do a 3 deal too, have asked for a quote I will report back 

Trouble for me is that I may get say £10.5 or £11k privately I owe more on the personal loan, so would have to pay some of that ok top of the £273 per month. Ps that is inclusive of vat.  It is confusing there are 2 figures ok 2 different pages, check out all volkswagen offers there it shows £273 however it is also quoted on another page as offer of the month £286.

I do like the simplicity of the personal lease product pay small sum up front say 3 payments £1k, then stump up your set monthlies and walk away at the end or get another new shiney chick magnet

r32uk what type and where did you get your lease?, ill be interested in that deal where you dont leave any lump sum/deposit just straight 24 months payments and walk away. The other half wants a car and i never really looked at leasing before, all i remember in 2005 leasing gti was around £440 plus vat  and a deposit and didn't come no where near buying outright pricewise (i know they can charge more on brand new model)
