Finance figures on Golf R?

[Jimmy Filth]

I'd be interested in the ins and outs of that deal, it's seems an amazing price.

Volkswagen have resolved the Adv Phone Kit and MDI issue, my BW46 car came with both Adv Phone Kit and MDI.
I also think they have changed the spec again with the Nav Pro coming with a USB port which is iPod compatible.

+ Discover Navigation PRO

To me this is a very expensive option for limited value... Do you really want to spend £1700 on satnav when a top spec Tom Tom is more functional and costs less than £300?

+ Advanced Telephone Connection

Remember this deletes the MDI port (I am not aware that this has been rectified) so I wouldn't bother - I does improve the phone signal a bit but on balance I wouldn't have spec'd it

Delete those two and that should reduce your monthly payments a bit and get them closer to your target... 

Losing those 2 will probably knock around £45 off your monthly figure assuming they retain 20% of their RRP.

I thought Nav Pro already had a USB port which is situated in the compartment in front of the gearstick?

The way I understand options on a lease is that you take what they cost and divide between rentals....could be wrong though

[scoobyc]

For some options, but some add value to the car at trade-in so this is taken into consideration and you don't have to pay the full option price then.

Makes sense....

Interestingly I have been advised by a friend that works within R&D for a vehicle manufacturer, sat nav does nothing for residual as it is outdated so quickly.  That was a big part in me not deciding to go for it.  Look how far it has come in just 5 years.

I only have his word for that, but it is an interesting point.

I've put the forms in to start the order on my R!

What you gone for in the end mate? And who with?

[Jimmy Filth]

I've gone for PCP through AFS.

Having looked leases, I just don't think it is for me. 

£5000 down and £290pcm for 5 door with metallic paint, keyless and winter pack. Then £30 PCM on top for maintenance. That covers all servicing, first MOT and includes tyres/brake pads.

I've been told April delivery, although haven't decided on the colour yet. The finance papers are getting sorted ATM, so the actual order will go in as soon as they go through.
