I can ... and do ... always recommend the Citroën E-C4 as a great little family car. It has sufficient power and range and cheap insurance, together with really good leasing deals. I certainly would never consider and ID3 as its smaller and more expensive.
Hi. I’ve used the loco site to search for a VW Touareg leasing deal, which comes out at circa £560 pcm at Swansway, with 12 months up front payment. It says “in stock” cars. Q: are these brand new cars and 2024 model? Thanks in anticipation.
So I get lease deals are 'contracts' but what happens if you lose your job in Month 4? Do you still owe the whole year but lose the car? These lease deals appear to be a minimum of 1 year. Answer and I will sub 😁
You still owe the remainder of your lease, if you want to give it back early most agreements will let you do so if you agree to pay 50% of the remaining balance. This may vary so always check your agreement.
I predict that anything could happen, it seems like a great price right now so it’s difficult to imagine it coming down significantly but I am frequently wrong.
@@DefinitelyNotAGuru Thanks! I play the tuba and have shortlisted a few cars that the instrument will fit in the boot, often think it would make a great (funny) review video. Citroen E-C4X yes, but EC4 no, Cupra Born yes but Mokka E no. It's so difficult to tell if boot spce is big enough without actually physically trying it out. I've had some funny looks from sales guys recently!! Loving your channel by the way.
I've recently got one. Prices seem stable-ish. Initially wasn't as 'wow' as I was expecting. However each day it grew on me and now I'm super happy with it. Think the firm ride was the main thing I had to persevere with. Now (also sussing out e-pedal) not an issue.
@@paulwoods-smith7474 we're used to the firm ride and epedal with our leaf (bigger battery version, stiffer chassis). The new Ariya caught my eye, we looked at an Evolve with nappa leather, very nice car for the money.
it's just the amount the upfront payment is based on (3 months means the upfront payment is essential 3 times the monthly payment plus any admin fee) - a year year deal would be the upfront payment (whatever it is) followed by 35 monthly payments.
3 years deal upfront is added on your cost 1st month they take your 3 Months upfront as your first payment than u pay 35 months and end of 36th Month give the car. Or pay no upfront but monthly payments will be a bit more
My mistake! I was thinking if for example you leased the Suzuki swift on a two year deal you made 24 payments of £189.82, but if you paid 3 months up front £569.46 followed by 21 payments of £189.82. And then nothing to pay on the last 3 months. I get it now 🤔 i think! the repayment is 3 months plus 24 payments and in a roundabout way is equivalent to 27 payments. Sorry it's been a long day.
@@DefinitelyNotAGuruIs the three months basically a one off payment. It’s slightly misleading the industry calls this charge 3 months up front on the face of it would appear to mean you pay 3 months of a 36 month contract followed by 33 payments.
Yes, if the lease agreement allows it, I’d be pretty pee’d off if so though as the new tax has been known about for a long time so really should already be factored in.
Thanks Jim. There is a clause in my agreement which covers passing on increased costs so guess will wait and see. If they do absorb the cost, we'd probably get a pre Apr 25 boom followed by a relative past Apr 25 lull. Bit like when the stamp duty thing was big in 2021 with houses. Great channel, your advice has been my goto these last few months. Bit like a Martin Lewis but with cars! Take care.
There’s not really a best time, just when the price is right. December was amazing for EV deals last year but I think the deals are being spread more this year.
If they can’t work out 35 times monthly payment plus the upfront amount they probably shouldn’t be leasing a car. I cover enough in these videos already, I don’t need to insult anyone’s intelligence.
