Dat Lease Life - 2017 Golf GTI.

[davo172]

Just thought I'd update with the whole lease life.

Just over a year into having it, and I cant see me letting go easy come handback time. I'll either see if they want to cut a good deal on this (in very rare occasions they let you extend a lease or just buy it off them rather than go to BCA) or I'll be finding which auction it went to lol! I really do love it that much. Hopefully by September 2019 we have a worthy MK8 GTI replacement I can plump for?

Couple of pics from a recent trip to Wales. The journey there was super comfortable, the driving while I was there super entertaining. What more do you need?

My wife’s GTi is due to go back at the start of January, spoke to VW financial services earlier this week and they are sorting us a quote to keep it for a further 12mths (fingers crossed it’s similar to what we currently pay)

Looks great. Such a good all-rounder.

Which lease company are you with?

To give you an idea, my old Golf R was £202.80 per month for 2 years. Gateway2Lease offered an extra year at £240ish per month (can't remember the exact figure) - had to go via VWFS to get the figure.

I decided to go any buy one anyway, as I'd used and abused the rental a little too much to buy. They did also offer a buy it now price, but I didn't bother asking for that.

A decent colour

Nice looking cars and as said a great all rounder.

Exactly. I prefer the styling on the GTI as well, so many little bits that point back to my MK2. Fantastic looking thing. That, and a FWD chassis is always more fun than a 4WD one! 230bhp is more than enough day to day, the trade off being much better economy too.

Thats good to know its still an option then! Cheers

Not bad! I've been mildly abusive on this, but not too raggedy. A buy it now price is equally tempting tbh! As said if we have a MK8 option floating about by then I may just upgrade. I'm with Central and the lease isn't up until next September anyway.

This colour is pure marmite but I love it. Purple in some lights, poo brown in others. Whats not to love? #MakeBrownGreatAgain

So we’ve had quite a good result with our lease GTi today. We are coming to the end (start of January) of a 24 mth 20k deal and currently pay £141 per month (we’re on just under 19k at the minute). We asked VW if it was possible to keep it for another 12 mths and another 10k and today they came back with a new monthly price of £115!!

Really nice car that! Even love the colour [emoji23]
I’m in a similar position with our VRS245. Such a great all rounder like the golf but has a massive boot which is a bonus.

Really not sure what to do when it goes back.
