It's a case of keep looking and waiting for a silly cheap deal to pop up. A mate has just done a deal on an Jag XF through Vanarama for very little money. I can't remember the figures, but it worked out at just over £7000 on a two year deal for a £40k car.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

What dubber36 says is true.  Whenever I look there's never great deals but I do know sometimes people get bargains as and when they appear.

Is there a best leasing website to go to to price up a car for personal lease? My wife priced up an R last night with Nationwide and is was something £370p/m over 24 months plus 3 months up front. Doesn't seem that cheap.

Try these;-

https://www.whatcar.com/car-leasing/

https://www.contracthireandleasing.com

Then there's the usual brokers, NVS, Central, Select etc. The good deals tend to be manufacturer backed and tend to be limited in numbers so can be gone in the blink of an eye.

Yes you have to keep an eye out for cheap deals and they get snapped up quick! We have two cheap lease deal cars at the min... £2400 down on each... £140 a month for gtd and I pay £107 for our GTI.

Gtd goes back soon so Golf r estate on order on lease £3k down £220 a month.

Back on topic as others have said that finance deal is terrible!

When I had my old mk7 GTI on a pcp I put £3k down and paid £280 on a brand new car. Have you price up a new one just to satisfy your curiosity?!

Cheers for that.

That R and GTi looks really good value.

Yes really lucky to get the GTI deal, the manual price was only £96 a month which I wish I had gone with with. Only 5k miles but to be honest only gone over by 1k. The R price is for 8k a year as it will become the main car. Again could have got that cheaper but couldn’t live with two white cars so metallic paint added £20 a month.

Off topic but you can avoid any admin fees that the lease company charges by going direct with a dealer.... you just need to find the dealers that are doing the offers.

For hot lease deals keep an eye on the Pistonheads lease deals thread. Google Pistonheads lease deals Vol 5

Currently hot deals on A5 cabriolets, some Jags and Volvos. Nothing too hot on VW except perhaps Tiguan.

On a PCP, is the VW contribution only available on a VW Finance agreement or do you get it from any PCP in the open market?

You're not going to get a finance contribution from VW if you take out 3rd party finance. VWFS give you a contribution as they make money on the interest.
