Might be worth a read if any of you have struck a lease deal.

Some classic toys out of pram / dummy spitting happening on the r forum....

I can imagine. If it sounds to good to be true.......

Exactly... It's certainly a kick in the teeth for anyone that had one ordered on what they thought was a genuine 'personal' lease and the early adopters who's cars were financed via independent brokers still have cars delivered/being delivered, seems the latest round of insanely cheap deals are all financed via VWFS and they've pulled the plug on the personal leases...

Do you want a whack as well??

Leaseyoufnextcar.com have pulled personal lease already on the R and taken the mileage on the GTD down to 5k pa! Like you'd own a diesel to do 5k miles a year.

luckily all this isn't a spanner in the works for me, my golf R is still winging its way to me thank god, and hopefully sooner with all these cancelled orders!

When I saw the deals available on the new R my immediate thought was "they're going to sell loads of those and the residuals won't be as good as they hope they'll be" most of the deals were at 5k miles a year and if you upped it to 10k the price shot right up, there was a few people who saw a loophole where the excess mileage charges on a 5k deal were still so much cheaper than going for a higher mileage one.

[JPC]

Absolutely right on that mate, if you took a 5k mile deal and doubled the milage, it would only cost 300/year to pay excess milage charge. Whereas the 10k miles quotes were way way way more than that per year

[mortygttdi]

£270 a month with 10k on a personal contract for me,

well thats not too bad then! what spec? and will it be going through or be pulled?
