Up until last year I found personal leases on VW Golfs were always hard to find and quite expensive.

But nowadays they seem to be such good deals around I have switched to leasing and will continue to do so unless they get expensive again  :smiley:

Always buy outright, it's easier to sell when you get bored!!

Yea pretty much the main reason I went the direction I did tbh, I could never own a daily driver for 2 years lol

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.

Going to do exactly the same this weekend

Bought on vw finance to give me more options with the car later on. Buying worked out better than contract at the time, and glad I did as my mileage has doubled this year!

Own outright.

Dealers like to sell finance due to the extra profits per vehicle and their monthly financial sales targets. My friend work for VW finance and he's always said to me to buy with cash if you can.Plus its nice not to have the monthly outgoing on your credit file when looking at mortgages etc....
