New car time *excited much*

Hey, yeah so it is a personal lease deal that works out cheaper per month than a PCP. With the PCP you get the option of paying a load of cash at the end of the deal to own it which I can't see myself doing. With the Lease deal you pay an agreed amount up front and then a fixed rate per month for the term. At the end of the term you simply hand the car back so never own it, I'm fine with that tbh as all the cars I've owned have just been money pits and worth a lot less than I spend maintaining them lol.

XC40 towing what?

I am sure you will enjoy your new car. At least you have a few years to consider what you do next. I did, many years ago, enter into such a deal on one of my cars but at the end of the term I found myself in the position where I had to decide to keep the car and re-mortgage it so the speak at the end of the agreement which I decided to do as I was very happy with the car and financially it was the easiest thing to do but probably not the best value wise? The new cars I had previously and since have all been purchased. I am fortunate that I no longer need a tow car and our everyday model does very little mileage so it would be a bit of an indulgence to change it after three years with only about 8000 miles on the clock!

I would not go for petrol when towing. Deep pockets required.

Indeed. I can't remember now which motorways services but we stopped briefly on our way home the other week. Fuel was £1.50 something a litre

My lease is due to finish on my Mondeo soon so I'm in the process of shopping for a new one.  For me personal leasing is much better value than PCP.  I don't have to put up a massive deposit and I get a new car every 3 years.

More than likely the car would be a factory order as a tow bar is an optional extra.  If you get a car without one fitted you will need the lease companies permission to get one fitted and they might insist that is removed before returning and the car made good afterwards.  Plus they cost about the same anyway for factory or aftermarket.

But shop around.  My local Volkswagon dealer has told me they will try match any price I find through a broker

I should look at terms and conditions . small print . Son in law looked at one ,we had a look at it ,oops , changed his mind .
