What Deals Are We Getting On MK6 GTI ?

[R32UK]

Ok lets break it down. The deal I am getting is a lease deal (or contract hire as its known). Very similar to hiring a vehicle over a set period of time. In my case its 2yrs, 3yr deals seem to be the most common at the moment.

So my deal breaks down like this. Its 29 payments in total (6 + 23)

£1434 + vat - which is the deposit.

Followed by 23 monthly payments of £239 + vat.



So including the VAT the total cost of the car over 2 yrs is = £7970.65

Without the VAT which i get back = £6931


So all in all I am paying £288.79 pm (worked out over 24 months) for a brand new GTi, 5dr Manual. Now the car I believe lists at £23k.

There are no fees to pay at the end of the lease. Only cost would be excess milage if you go over 20k over the 2yrs. This would be changed at 0.06p per mile. So £60 for every 1000miles. Not bad I would say.

 is this including servicing and road tax or do you have to pay that yourself ?

Road tax is free over the 2yr period. Servicing has to be paid for. Its a good way of working if you want to know exactly what your car is going to cost you over 2yrs.

Got a revised quote from dealdrivers, after adding xenons, ACC and removing the dynaudio and telephone prep.

Total otr is about 24,500 some 9% off list

On finance I upped the deposit to 3500 and mthly payment are 395. Not far off leasing (higher initial of course) but the balloon is 11.5k. Now if you tell me that you can buy a 3yr old decent spec gti for 11.5k I'll bite your arm off!! Ie there should be equity left in the pcp, I reckon the gti will be worth about 15k at the end, so recovering the deposit.

Anyway, awaiting the dealer's call to confirm!

That really does sound like a good deal.  Are you having to travel far to get it?

I'm getting an OTR price of £22,500, with DSG, ACC, sunroof, metallic paint and a few more trimmings (winter pack, luxury pack and flat tyre indicator), but without leather, 18" wheels or xenons, and just the basic entertainment package.

Comes to £3,950 off list, but of course I've got the scrappage money in there as well.  Your deal sounds as if it's in the same general ball park.

Thats a great deal

Thats a great deal

I thought so too!  I grabbed it quick before they changed their minds!  It's from a local dealer to - well, about 25 miles away, so that's not too bad.

It's hard to calculate percentages though, when £2,000 of that reduction on list price is scrappage money.  (Oops, I wasn't quite right, it's a £3,945 reduction in total.)  If you ignore the scrappage entirely, it's still a £1,945 reduction, that is 7.4%.  With the £1,000 part of the scrappage deal that is the dealer's contribution it's 11.1%, and overall the discount is 14.9%.

I'm not sure which figure I should be boasting about!

nice one jam - which broker you use?

my spec is:

Metallic Paint ( Deep Black Pearl )
18" Monzas
Xenons
ACC
RCD510
Lux pack
Park Assist with Rear View Camera
3 yr service pack
12 months road tax

£25k OTR, £1.9k off list (7% off) - but I can live with that

mini update - the broker forgot metallic paint on the finance quote, so its 412 pm not 395

[keelaw]

p.s. i understand a bit better how brokers like dealdrivers are able to get such good prices from dealers... the dealer i spoke to (after having done a quote with deal drivers) was based in the fleet dept. i.e. not the usual guys at the front of the showroom.  i have been reassured tho that everything will be just as if i were a private individual buying from a dealer.

i will report news of my progress as i hear/ experience more.

Has anyone any experience of cost2costcars? My ideal spec is listed at £27,700 which is the cheapest I can see at the moment. I think i will delete the leather option as I have heard that the cloth looks good in the flesh.

Hi Keelaw

Nice spec.... what is the 3 yr Service Pack, I haven't seen that listed anywhere on the GTI material I've got?

Cheers
