[@Dom-fk3te]

hahah im in my first car also a 1.2 06 Polo right now brother, looking for lease deals at the moment

[@mattdrives]

Use Lease Loco or Leasing.com - makes it way easier.

[@v8lifestyle409]

How many miles a year did you opt in fur with your deal ❓ sounds like a great deal and would love to see a video on that 👍🏾

[@mattdrives]

Was 10k p/a on a 1/23. Found it on leasing.com randomly. Will definitely make a video on that, great idea.

You don't have to put on exactly the same tyre, last I checked it said as long as it's a branded tyre or something like that. As for whether you want mismatching tyres of course is another thing entirely ...

[@mattdrives]

Good tips. It depends on the finance provider I suppose. It will, like you say, depend on what approach you’re happy with regarding mismatched tyres!

Great Vid! 👍🏽

Thanks mate, hope it helped!

Quick question, can u do anything to the car if u lease it, like a wrap or something like that?

[@mattdrives]

As long as the car goes back to the lease company at the end like standard (and no warranty voiding mods took place if applicable), you can do what you want. They won’t know. Of course, you can contact them and ask permission but they always say it’s easier to ask forgiveness than permission.

@@mattdrives Thanks dude ❤

[@Carlnewman68]

Can I ask what company your leading from ?

[@mattdrives]

Hereford Audi in England. Fantastic service

[@diluxe]

If for example you are required to make 9 months of initial payment do you then not start paying anything until the 10 month ?

[@mattdrives]

No, it’s 9 months up front then the rest of the payments the second month

[@diluxe]

@@mattdrives thanks so on a 24 month lease with 9 months initial , would be equivalent to paying 33 months of equal payments ?

[@mattdrives]

Yes, that’s correct. The ‘9 months rental’ should be seen as a deposit. A higher deposit ie initial rental, reduces the future monthly payments. Always calculate a lease off the total cost across the period, not on the monthly

[@EARART]

Bad credit accepted ?

[@mattdrives]

Depends on the lender

Hi Matt Any leasing companies in NI you would recommend? I’m hoping to get a new car and would prefer to lease but not sure where to start looking locally. Thanks Gary

[@mattdrives]

Thanks for the Q, Gary! Personally, I couldn’t find a single local lease site or company that could even come close to any deals I’ve seen. Same with local dealers in NI. Not saying it isn’t possible, just saying I’ve never seen it. I used leasing.com (no affiliation at all). Ordering a car from GB is really easy, just takes one Ferry journey and at the end of the term the car will be picked up at your house in NI and auctioned locally

[@wizkidgizmo]

What websites did you find your car deal on or recommendations for the best PCP sites

[@mattdrives]

Used Leasing.com - Found an Audi, called the dealer, they had one left in stock (super limited deal), they fired me a finance agreement, approved within an hour. Car was ordered the same day and ready for pickup from the dealer about 3 weeks later.

[@ajwest3081]

With all due respect, if you are leasing a £40k plus car, you should be in a position to buy a couple of branded tyres.

[@mattdrives]

A fair point in theory. But a lot of people do not go on the value of the car, because that isn’t what they pay, they go off the monthly. There are people who see £300 a month plus insurance and fuel as their only costs, when in fact, it’s actually more than that.
