UK Car Leasing Hacks : Shop the DEAL not the CAR

I have mentioned this in so many viewer comments and in a few videos but the basic principal is this - shop for the car leasing deal, don't shop for the specific car.

By opening up your search you may find that your budget can get you a far better car than the one you ideally had in mind. In this video we look at some real-world examples of how having an open mind can get you into a much better value for money car with a similar budget.

I have "shopped the deal" for many years now and have had some brilliant cars by doing this that there's no way I could have otherwise afforded.

Car Leasing works really well when you put the work in, examine all the deals, and keep a nice open mind. You want an Audi A4 but did you realise that a much higher spec A6 is only a few pounds per month more? Can you really get a BMW 7 series for less than a 5 series with the same engine?? no way? yes way! Hopefully this video helps you to get car leasing explained, you get the best deals if you truly understand this simple way of looking for your next car - this is a car lease hack you should not ignore.

This simple car leasing hack may seem like common sense but it amazes me how many people overlook it as they have their mindset on a very specific car and specification which often costs them dearly. Do your research before you lease a car or enter into any car finance arrangement. Make leasing a car work for you.

You are very skilled at making a complicated subject, very easy to understand.

Got my current Hyundai Tucson through leasing this way and I have a Cupra Leon 300bhp by looking out for the best deal with no car in mind.

[edwardlloyd]

I did this. Couldn't afford a 4 year old car so casually looked at leasing deals and ended up with a Peugeot 408 GT for £320/month zero down for 3 years at 10K miles a year. It's literally just the interest payment on the list price. I never thought I could afford a brand new car especially such a high spec model.

Did the same with a Skoda Kodiaq 1.5 2wd with the options was coming in at £523 pm.
Specced out a top end Seat Tarracco 2.0 4wd with everything on it £100pm cheaper!!!

What’s the easiest way to search for lease deals? Is there a comparison website? What’s the top 3 leasing companies in the UK?

[zowahh]

Thinking to order cupra Leon 2.0 tsi VZ2 DSG deal I’ve found on leaseloco it’s 9 month down £2, 467 then £248 35 months decent deal I reckon. I can trade in the Leon 2018 1.8 I brought last year for 14k when I paid 12k. Invest the lump sum offsets the expense of the lease further seems to make sense to me when I’ve just done used cars previously outright.

Thanks, great info.
I paid cash for my eNiro and sold it 18 months later, cost me just over £225/ month.
Yes I know most people do not have the cash, and we are in unusual times, with all used cars going up and EVs in demand.
I may be old school, but the finance companies have to take a bite out of the cherry.
Thanks for the video, we have to take the best advantage we can, and your advice is excellent.

What scares me about lease deals is I use my car to go to the tip with all sorts, occasionally off to Europe, don't wash it until the number plate is unrecognisable; so end up with scratches and dents more than expected - this could cost me loads at the end? - luv the vids

[petenicholls]

Thanks Jim, for another great useful video. Having been in the car biz in the USA for 20+ years, I KNOW this to be true. I am now in the UK and will probably be looking at leasing a car myself.

[JWHarris........]

Very informative, thank you. Looking to hire a VW Caddy, I've never leased before. I'm gonna be flexible with engine's and colour, which might help me getting the best deal?
Any advice is welcome. ✌️

[rupdog]

whats the best website to find lease deals? Can i pay you to find a good deal?

[damiantrejo]

I'm still extremely thank full for your advice as I've got an amazing deal with a skoda scala highest spec (still waiting for the car since July!!! ) however I knew that is a 16 week waiting deal but due the chip shortage crisis in sure will be another 2-3 months waiting but still is a good deAl nevertheless, plus I really enjoy your down to earth videos.next door guy, I can't imagine why on earth people would make drop nasty comments. Kudos Jim

[davidlloyd]

Can you tell me if I need to get my 3 year old lease car, a MOT before it’s returned to the lease company, and does it have to be serviced. Thank you.

[zuowang]

What site do you use for lease pricing?

[liztaylor]

The Leaseloco you reccomend - I cannot find a phone number for, I am trying to order...

[RanjitSingh-jfkg]

with lease deals, why do you have to make an upfront payment ?

[rob]

Think I'd rather have had the focus! 😏

[rob]

Surely it's cheaper to get a loan with interest rates as they are???
