garetheves Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 A few years ago, and they may still do it as its been a few years since ive bought a new car, Ford did the Options scheme where you bought a new car, paid a monthly "lease" type payment for 2 years and at the end of the 2 years had 3 options: 1. Carry on the lease payments but swap for a new car. 2. Give them the car back and walk away, nothing to pay. 3. Pay the final value for the car and keep it. Does anyone know of any other car companies that do a similar thing? Ive a feeling BMW do but not of anyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merckx Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Renault do, my sister has had a couple of cars. A lot of haggling reduced the advertised price significantly. I'm not sure if you'll fancy a Renault though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CardiffSupra Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Not sure but a mate of mine in work is leasing a Focus RS and gets a cracking deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Lex do the same for me.. I've got a VW touran.. Company pays a portion and if I wanted a better car I pay the difference each month. At the end of the 3 year period I can buy it for an agreed figure. Very attractive figure. So I could either keep the car for the missus, or flog it on and recover my cash.

Havard Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 You'll find that most manufacturers will have similar schemes with different rates etc.. You need someone who's hard faced and a bit arrogant in those places to get a good deal!!!. When are we going shopping then pal?? H. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob wild Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Please don’t say this is instead of the supra what other single could i potential whoop on the way back from mascrat in the summer Seriously thought when buying the wife the last car back in October nearly all of the dealerships had a finance scheme that was similar to what you describe, TBH i think most of them just outsource the finance to an external company i.e. like first national.

garetheves Posted January 10, 2007 Author Share Posted January 10, 2007 I am planning ahead to when/if i do sell the Supra. The thing that is really getting me is the thought that i would lose so much money in depreciation (sp?) on an "ordinary" car and for that reason i would prefer not to buy it outright. The orriginal Ford scheme where you could pay them monthly to have the car but after 2 years swap it or give it back with nothing to pay is quite appealing at the moment because i could keep the lump sum that i get from the Supra, pay a reasonably small payment every month for a car (with no insurance, MOT, servicing costs etc etc to worry about, plus it will be under guarantee) and the i wouldnt have to worry about depreciation costs at the end of it. I may even still have that money from the sale of mine set aside for a deposit on the new house, or for another Supra in the future. The cars i was thinking of would be the Focus RS/ST, maybe an Audi S4, although i dont know if Audi do the same scheme. Hoping to get over the dealership this weekend if i get chance. Paul, may well take you up on the offer of going shopping, im a softie when it comes to stuff like haggling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
