They just put you into contact with a cheap main dealer, you deal with the dealer, pay the dealer, pick car up from dealer etc. Used similar firms before (carfile/drivethedeal), all very easy, and cheap!
Yep.
At those prices you quoted, I'd go for Goodyear F1, I've got those all round at the moment in 225/40/18. Nice tread pattern as well :blush:
Try www.tyretraders.com
I always go for Goodyear F1's, Michelin Pilot Sports, or Pirelli P-Zero's, and as long as you have the same tyre type / amount of tread on each axle, it doesn't matter if you still have the original Conti's on the back.
I'd aim to pay no more than £110 fitted for 225/40/18's.
oh dear, some too embarrassing, I can't name them all.... a number of 206 GTi's (company cars) :blush:, a 205 1.9 GTi, BMW M Coupe, Audi TT (mapped to 270 bhp).
Best car ever owned has to be the M Coupe, I still kick myself today as to why on earth I sold it :sob:
Jeez, what's wrong with me, I'm now looking at them on Autotrader, and I like this one... Black with red :wub:
Seems to suddenly be a lot on there, all around £29,995, guess they could all be ex-management cars that are now being released?
I would have thought it would be MY08, as I didn't think MY09 were available until Sept/Oct?
The quote that you refer to ("....09"), is that a quote from the leasing company, or from Audi? If from Audi, then it must mean it's an 09 spec I guess :shrug:
Surprised (pleasantly) that Audi...
I'm sure they'll do an M-Sport version, which will be much better (diff front bumper, better wheels etc). I don't like the look of the current 335i SE, but I do like the M-Sport version.
Thanks. So on a 3+23, you're really paying 26 months worth of payments for a 24 month lease then?
Yeah, I thought 20k / 2 yrs from my previous VAG experience, but the posts above seem to say differently.
err, muppet question (never contract-hired a car before :shrug:):
"3+23" = 3 months payment up-front, followed by 23 payments, OK fine. But does the "3" represent 1 months rental, and 2 months deposit, which you get back at the end (assuming you haven't trashed it etc). Sorry, stupid (obvious)...
The quote I got he charged the full value after discount over the 2yr term. So Sat Nav Plus worked out at £1480 in rentals, which is equivalent to the £1650 option price less 10% discount (which was applied to the list price, and to all of the options).
Oh my god, I thought you were taking the p1ss and it couldn't really have been that bad, but it was just that guy demonstrating the window buttons etc...did you know you can operate both the drivers AND the passengers windows from the drivers side...wow!!
What an absolute waste of time. Can't...
It's a good deal, agreed, but only for a standard car. If you add options, they assume nil residual value, so you end up paying the entire value of any options over the 2 year hire period. Great deal for a std car though, I looked into this a couple of weeks ago with them, and still tempted.
...and as it doesn't come as standard, the cost of the additional options doesn't get factored into residual prices generally, so you get stung for them come re-sale.
