Golf GTI & R discounts

You can still get the R on lease for under £250 a month.

Depends on what you constitute a "monthly" cost. For me, having an R which costs you £250 a month after a whopping initial rental is a false figure. Total duration cost over number of months gives a fair comparison.

The R could've been had for as little as £268pm (manual, TR, no extras) all in once upon a time. A while back I saw a "£10pm" deal on a C1, but you had to put £1200 down for a 1 year term, making a mockery of the headlining monthly cost.

Right now with CVL, a 3 door manual R is £355 inc VAT per month over 24 months + £2315 down/fees.

Those were the days my friend and they did end and probably never to be repeated again.

When I leased, the basic lease cost of a 5 door Red R manual was £172+VAT pm, 6+23, 5k miles from the brokers. I went to a VW Dealer's Fleet Dept, got the same deal as a business, plus a dealer contribution of £699 inc VAT (odd figure) to reduce the deposit. I then added DSG which was £23+VAT pm plus a few extras, one of them (a biggish one) was free, and secured a 3 year deal, 5k miles, 6p+VAT excess mileage. Crazy or what?

I make the CVL 5 door R £244 a month inc Vat over 24 months with £2000 plus VAT deposit.

Not the cheap lease deals as before but the same car on the VW www on PCP is £533 a month over 24 months with £3147 deposit both at 5k a year.  I don't even have to work out what is the cheapest by far. I reckon less than half price.

Hadn't seen that one, it's a special offer on the 5 door, £89 a month cheaper than the other R options, ends up being a "true" £341 a month spreading the total cost, go DSG (as many do) and the cost shoots up. I don't see 5k miles as reasonable - not many doing that. Add £30 a month to pay for the excess mileage to get you to 10k miles PA, and it's a true £371pm.

True 5dr DSG price with CVL is £471 a month - bargain basement leases are long gone, although if you keep away from the options it can still be a little cheaper than PCP over 24months (PCP works better on 36 months than it does on 24 months).

I wasn't saying it was particularly cheap but £8,171 for a lease compared to VW's PCP £15,107 its a bargain.

I'd eat my own hat if you could get 15% of an R right now

matchboy - you don't need to eat your hat after all!

The actual figures quoted by the OP are correct but the percentages are wrong.... the R (5-door) DSG is actually 12.7% off. I suspect these figures came from the R forum where the OP's mathematics was revealed as being decidedly inaccurate!

Check for yourself - the list is GBP32,809 for that model.

I have just paid a deposit on my R order - high spec and received a 15.6% discount from the broker I chose, car delivered to my door and paid for after I inspect it.  DTD offer £150 less but delivery/collection not so convenient and only 6 months road tax so £150 less becomes £75 less.

That is a bit of a naf thing to say by unfairly accusing me of miscalculations. I posted the exact figures from DtD. Not my calculations. So look before you leap or eat your hat and tongue.

Go to the vwroc link below and click on the prices in my original post. It is what DtD have posted.

Have you now eaten your hat and tongue and digested them?

To be fair, those prices were also sent to me by a DTD email.

Exactly. I only quoted what I obtained in the email. Some of the posters on here are unnecessarily belligerent. Perhaps they have paid over the odds for their shopping trolleys! They need to swallow some chill pills after they have swallowed their hats and their tongues.
