Skoda Octavia - Lease or Buy ?

[SteCenturion]

Have her V40 on lease. Paid £1k deposit and pay out £240 a month for 3 yrs then have guaranteed future value of £10 k so we use that as deposit for next one .

No MOT , no worries for bills as warranty covers , includes servicing and tyres . Had we gone no servicing or tyres would have been £235 so doing the sums it works out .

We had a skoda octavia brand new , brill car , we chopped it in for the V40 at 13 . Based on what we spent in servicing tyres and post warranty work not forgetting the finance cost over 5 years it was about the same as the £240 a month.

Plus we get a new car every years

This is what entices me subaqua, just not yet 100% convinced so I will have to talk it through with the dealer.

As it is the deal expired 30th April, but I am sure there will be other deals.

I have done the whole , 4 yr old car, 10 yr old car thing & bought new in 2012.
The car doesn't suit my needs any more & thought this might just be the better way for me.

Big mileages worry me too.

Petrol and buy through DtD or get a price match. Lease can be worth while if on special offer so do check lings cars, she does get some stonking no brainer deals every now and then, there was a corsa Vxr for less than a 1.2 a while back.

only problem with drive the deal is that dealers are less than helpful when you go to collect, or if there is a problem. Based on recent canteen conversations.
