All Things Mk7 R and GTI > Mk7 General Area
Are all the Mk7R lease deals done now?
s3dubbin:
But are you going to get hammered by pence per mile if you dont hand it back to the finance company?
If you take it back to VW for a mk8 surely they will be pricing the car as a 3yr old mk7 with 30k on the clock....even though you have only meant to cover say 18k miles in that period?

I'm not trying to say a PCP is the best way to buy a car, simply that whichever way you buy it, it's going to cost money.
There's nothing to stop you buying it or settling up and selling it on the private market for more money. You don't have to hand it back.

We have had this discussion before .... :innocent:
But generally speaking why do you have to have a NEW car ? Buy a MK5 GTI for £6576 and 2 years time i expect you will still have £4k if you sold it ? Thats my point really . You don't need to have new cars nowadays to have reliable transport .
But its a personal choice , one of which i wouldn't do myself . I understand some people get a monthly allowance in their jobs to get their company car and this way would be very suitable and one in which i would do too if it wasn't my money .... Which it has always been MY money that was buying MY cars :innocent:

Yes but if within that 2 year period you get a couple of nasty repair bills on the mk5 for example clutch replacement and say new turbo or similar you have just lost all that capital and you have also had to drive round in a 7-11 year old mk5 instead of a brand new car :laugh:
My missus currently has a 2007 mk5 Gt tdi but already decided when we change it for her at some point in next 12 months we be leasing her a brand new GTD or similar

Swings and roundabouts basically

Well i have had 39 cars in my 35 year driving life , never have i had to replace the clutch . All but two were manuals and the biggest bill i have ever had was a Fuel Pump on a TDI Golf which was £400 . Never had a car newer than 2 years old , most 5-7 years.
Matthewsimone:
Well you have had a very lucky driving career then my friend
Ive had over 40 cars in 13 years of driving and have had a few bills significantly bigger than that of £400 :laugh:
End of the day cars depreciate
If you lease a car these days all your payibg is the depreciation over that lease period which in turn makes it no different to purchasing a car brand new!
End of the day each to there own but if you can comfortably afford it and want it then why not, your only here once and could get wiped out tommmorrow :happy2:
