That might be because if he demonstrated the car to you, and carried out the test drive, he was just trying to earn a living.

But I had advised him from the outset that I was looking to lease a vehicle.

His fault then.
If it had been me, I would have advised you to go to the leasing company for a demo

Lived for 20 years in " company car " world. Had the option to lease, but stayed within the car scheme. Left that cosy world and had to find my own wheels. Leasing looked an option until I tallied up all the costs associated with a given make/model and the mileage I'd be doing. Small print is small for a reason Ended up buying as it did indeed work out slightly more cost effective.

Always been on a PCP, so never been a problem with them. Just seen another about Personal Contract Hire - anyone use this option. The difference between the PCP and the PCH is the low upfront and low monthly but no option for a balloon payment at the end to keep it.
I fancy at Volvo XC60.. the PCH option works out to about 2K deposit + 330 monthly!!!.. have not compared the PCP option yet. I am looking for a XC60, so if anyone knows a good deal going around, do shout

Honda CR-V leased through Honda. Marshalls Leicester was the dealership but all leased vehicles apparently supplied via their York branch.
I can understand the Leicester salesman and his manager being pee'd off but that's down to Marshalls to sort out.
Either way I still would not put a large chunk of my cash into an asset that will lose around £3000 the moment it leaves the forecourt.

So just taken the NX for a test drive. Lovely vehicle. I wouldn't be considering it if my Dad didn't work there but with the deal they can give it seems like a no brainier.
Can't comment on fuel economy really, but seems real world normal driving (cruising at 80 on the motorway and not driving like a total bell all the time) will give 42-45 mpg. Ride is slightly firm (we were in and F sport whic my has stiffened suspension but it was still much better than my Mk 4 Mondeo titanium).
It's definitely not a drivers car. Doesn't fling you about though and it's not like you think you're going to roll it, but it's not something you'd buy to drive for fun on the weekends. Does have enough poke to overtake which is fine for me. It's quiet, REALLY comfy and has everything you'd need.
Basically, if we can get a decent deal on servicing, all signs point to us buying one as the wife really likes it.

the NX is not on our list (yet).. does it take a big golf bag without dropping the back seats?
The other one on our list is the Kia Sportage.. but the 2016 design change is set to divide opninion ... anyone looking at the 2016 Kia Sportage?

Which model did you go for? The 300H or 200T? I'm looking at getting the 300H as the family car.

Couldn't say for sure, but I suspect it probably does. Not a huge boot, but big enough. We got our dog crate in there.
300H. Its absolutely fine for a family car.

After 30 years of having had a company car supplied I switched to leasing end of last month and love it. Just sorry I never did it 20 years ago.
Got a car that I speced up with everything that I wanted, no jobsworth fleet manager moaning about what wasn't in my allowance and I love it! What's more no need to worry about it having to be given back if job bellies up.
Happy days!:thup:

I know where I stand with my finances thanks buddy.
Cheers for your concern though! :thup:

Bah. Having second thoughts on the commitment of the NX (as much as both me and my wife want one!)...Such a good deal, but still money that we could use for her 30th/a holiday/overpaying the mortgage or whatever...
One way or another a decision will be made before the end of the week.

I'm with you dude, i used to spend a fortune a month on cars whether thats loan payments, lease, finance etc. Now i couldn't think of a worse thing to have a huge monthly bill for! I looked at some of the sites the guys have listed and looked a few cars i would 'like' then realise that they are all 4/500 a month +! I can do a lot with 4/500 quid a month!
I suppose its about priorities, wants, needs, desires, but for me now, a car is low on the list. Family holidays, renovating the house, new extension trump a car. Each to their own though! I have a mate who is doing OK, DINKI and spends about 1000 a month on his finance for his M3. He loves it and is happy! That just makes me shudder!
If you want it and can afford it, do it.
VW have just announce another big dip in profits due to the emmissions scandal. May be worth looking at a VW dealer as I suspect they will be offering some tasty offers at the moment to bring people back into the fold.

If my mates recent experience of trying to do a deal with them is anything to go by... Then, no chance of any 'deals'... Still adopting the high and mighty we've done nothing to be ashamed of approach... In the 'states, it would seem, they're bending over backwards to right their wrong but clearly don't feel disposed to do so in Europe...

Yea, we need a car (exhaust is just about done on the Mondeo!) and do quite a few long journeys a year so the peace of mind that we're unlikely to breakdown is good. But the deal we've been offered is very good (£380 a month for a car with spectacular standard equip) and we can afford it and still have money left over at the end of the month but any weekends/unexpected payments would significantly eat into the extra we're left with ad it isn't that much!
Trouble is, it's such a good deal that any other cars of similar size/spec that I've looked at come in at around the same amount due to the discount we're getting! And a smaller car isn't s realistic option.
Well they can't be too desperate. I spoke to them on Friday and requested so numbers on a new Tiguan and said I'm ready to buy. Not heard a peep since.

As against what?
Thus far my lad has had three letters advising/confirming his vehicle is amongst the 'problem' ones and that's it...
"A solution is being worked on"... Doesn't really cut it...
Not really great customer service... Last VAG product he buys...
