Been looking at 4 x 4's and seem to get masive difference in % on finance deals so wondering if its best just to lease ?

RR Sport
Volvo XC90 & 60
Audi Q7 & Q5
VW Tourag
BMW X5

any one any thoughts idea's or are we just better off buying small estate ?

Need it for new baby and dog and all usual crap that goes with both

If its only for a baby/dog combo then I'd advise a smaller estate unless you need to go off road or tow trailers?

tbh like most of the country i dont really need a 4 x 4 but just fancy the idea more than an estate car - ?????

Lease lease lease.

4x4 residuals are tumbling as they are- let someone else worry about it.

Some great deals around too- new Merc ML280 for £357PM?

JimmyRB5PRO

Lease lease lease then - who does best personal lease deals then -

seen RRS @ £460 p/m
ML 280 cdi but at £425 -where did you se 375 Olly ?
Grand Cherekee Jeep Ltd at £269 !!!!!


leasing looks a popular choice at mo !!

NO! NO!NO! buy! your contradicting yourself! with residuals falling like the top 100 at £375 pcm you could get a top of the range toyota land cruiser thats 2/3 years old with a bank loan and still have change to pay the service costs, and as its a toyota it wont go wrong and once they have taken the initial 40/50% depreciation they only lose about another 15% over the next 3years bargin! with interest rates low and dealers desperate to move cars there should be some great deals to be had
edit to say: 6p per mile after 10,000 with lease company is the norm

The Grand Cherokee isn't a half bad choice at that price. It uses the latest Merc V6 diesel and has a proper 4X4 system so you wont get stuck on a grass verge like you would in an X5 or ML.
On the right tyres they are a very capable off road tool and can tow up to 3.5Tonne if needed.

If you can put up with the American idea of what quality plastics are they are a good buy.

Are you putting a cash deposit down with these?

JimmyRB5PRO

Most leases require a deposit of 3 x monthly payments up fronty so anywhere between - £1K -£1.5K

ideally with a pcp about the same as you never seem to get them back ???????

Citroen C Crosser £229 and 7 seats

Nissan X Trail £159

Disco £359

But I think best deals are;

Honda Type R Gt £199
VW Golf r32 £259

Zeon

No I didn't mean the usual 3 months in advance but a bigger chunk.

Can people also post links to the prices they are getting because I am also interested.

Thanks very much.

Tempted myself. These have been cheap leasers for a while now: overshadowed by the GTi, which are cheaper to buy but more expensive to lease.

Seems like no-one wants thirsty motors at the mo.

get a touareg, i just did they are ace.

Matteeboy

Rob - which model?

Still can't believe that R32 deal!! I miss that V6 noise SO much. Shame they are mega band tax and low 20s mpg but they certainly make up for it once you give them stick.

Reckon our X Trail (£25k list) is probably worth about £5k now.Still looks great,all the bells and whistles and wipe clean boot (good for your dog!) so a pittance to buy a used one.You will just never be able to sell a 4x4 later though,or get a good used price (even X5's are worth nothing now)

Reality is with one baby and a dog an estate should be fine.Only reason we didn't get one was they were to posh for kids and dogs inside!

Out of your list(if you really want a big,big 4x4),RR's(sports) make me cringe just seeing them but Touraegs look smart.How about a used real Range Rover? Beautiful and dirt cheap
