Scottish Elises

my brother and I are looking to go half's and get my mother a new car for her 70th next month as her old Honda is getting on.

I found this car, its got hi miles but as my mum only does 4k miles a year, I thought it would do the job.

We started looking at leasing her a car instead. looking at a 4 year deal. nothing to big Fiesta, Audi A1 etc

Anyone got any good contacts?

cheers

I've recently leased a new car from Target http://www.targetcarleasing.co.uk/

They were very easy to deal with, good communication and prices as good as I could find. No hidden charges either.

I thought this was quite a good deal http://www.targetcarleasing.co.uk/#/cit ... 4574813019

Have a look at Lings Cars. The website is awesome/awful, but the deals are good. They have a good rep aswell

You could try Graeme at Caledonian Independent Leasing. He's very helpful and been doing car leasing for years. http://www.caleleasing.com/

Scotty - if you know what you want (or which brand) worth going to see the dealer in some instances. I was on the mailing list for BMW and they came out with an insane deal for the 640d which is far far better than I've seen anywhere else. They still send me details of their deals, so if you are in no rush maybe worth a punt?

my brother went to the local dealer who matched any online price for his wives Nismo juke.

its only 6 weeks til her birthday and I would like to have something for then.

Decided to lease a cheap runaround last year.
Picked a 107/C1/Aygo - ended up going with the Aygo as Toyota finance was cheapest.
Wasn't going anywhere near Arnold Clark so went to Alexander Wallace Toyota in Elgin.
Nice bunch of people to deal with (still locally owned AFAIK),car took about 5-6 weeks to arrive.
Dirt cheap insurance,zero road tax and about 50 mpg in town.

Could have tried game theory

Tambo on here owns Capital Vehicle Managment he often has very good deals on Audi's

How did you get on? You've sparked the idea for my mum too.

There are a few dealers doing 0% finance just now so were thinking about buying, going to look at cars tomorrow.

Toyota yaris is looking good just need to see what the Auto's like.

So to pseudo thread hijack my target is £~100 inc pcm lease (personal although could potentially do a biz lease) for my Mum. Currently in an Ibiza so something similar. 4 doors would be advantageous for baby seats etc. She does <5k pa.

The C1 deal does look attractive.

Lings not appear to do sub 5k miles pa.

As per bigD's post, Caledonian leasing worth a shout. They have looked after a few of my clients.

went round a few dealers on Saturday.

liked the yaris 1.3 Auto but they cant give a delivery date as they are about to do a facelift model. Sales guy was gutted

Then went to Vauxhall and liked the Corsa, they were doing a deal for Saturday only £1250 off the £18k list price plus 0%.

Found the same car at the Vauxhall dealer in Morpeth ex mobility car 4 months old with 181 miles on the clock. £11K and a good 3 year finance deal to go with it.

off to find a big bow
