Who leases/who owns?
« on: 19 March 2015, 18:25 »
just wondered how many of you guys actually own your new MK7?
With all the good lease deals around ATM I wonder if buying was the sensible choice or not.

Paid for my GTD in full with my own money, even when I was doing the deal the salesman couldn't really believe I didn't want finance :undecided:

Sometimes I feel like I should of leased it and stick money in the bank, anyone else in similar position

I own mine, but with the lease deals available, unless I was really ticking lots of option boxes, i'd rather lease than PCP. If you can buy outright it can beat the lease deals (more so with more options), as interest is what kills the PCPs - around a third of your monthly payments is going on interest.
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

Took out finance for the cheap service deal and 750 contribution then cleared it a few days later. Exercising the right to terminate, no questions asked, costs £3.94 a day. 30 days to pay after the figure is agreed.

Or keep it for as long as you like if you don't.
