Can get a 3 door, 7R, 10k miles per year, tax paid for term, 24 months, £148+VAT a month... no reason to spend six grand up front, tax, service, tyres, problems.
Surely, that's a better sell to the Mrs. 
Dead money tho and never your car unless you front up the £20,000+ outstanding amount after the 2 years!
It is a great deal these lease firms are doing but it does have its negatives aswell as positives!
£1495 deposit is lost straight away before you even drive the thing 
Been considering this deal myself but struggling to stomach the losses over 2 years!
You'd never own a new car like that though mate... it's a £30k car, if you bought that outright, you'd lose the same if not more money in depreciation over the term and you've exposed your £30k to sit on the driveway, never knowing what you'll get for it come exchange time.
We cannot directly compare a lease on a brand new car against anything but a brand new car purchase, as they simply aren't the same thing.
Then there's things like free tax, doubtful you'd need tyres or brakes over the term either...
I'd also worry about buying one, with all these cheap leases, it's going to really affect the resale value, once all those 2/3 year old lease cars hit the market.
