New Cupra 300 Ordered

[Proby]

Well, finally sorted it. Ordered a new Cupra 300 for my works car. I've had it on a personal lease, although I'm restricted to 1 lease company as a 'Employee Ownership Scheme', but its well subsidised.

I have gone for a 5-door Hatch DSG in Nevada White, adding just:

Winter pack (Heated Seats, Heated Washers & Headlamp washers)
Seat Sound Upgrade
KESSEY Pack (Wireless entry & Start)

Now to wait for a delivery/build date.

Joking aside hope you get it as quickly as possible

I did have a fr 184 fully loaded up manual on order since april this year but got very disappointed with the very long wait so this opportunity came along for the cupra and I did not esitate have to have it
good quote on insurance 265 for the year but I am an old git if you call 47
cheers GHB

I know its cheeky, but my personal lease through work is up in April and they are badgering me to order a replacement. Their prices seem high, £520pcm for a 2.0TDi Excellence, so was wondering how much your Cupra is costing you? PM if you don't want to go public?

That does seem pricey given you can get a cupra for half the price. What mileage / terms is that cost for? Not surprised they're badgering you for an order at those prices unless you're doing 50k a year. Are you forced to order through the company quoting that price ?

I got my Cupra for 1x23 at £250. No admin fee. 8k miles PA. 2 years. 5dr Manual Midnight Black

No issues posting figures.........

It is priced at £410/month with no upfront payment on 36 month term, 12000 miles p/a. That is with the options listed above.

This is fully maintained and also includes full European breakdown cover for the 3 years.

I know this is a bit steep compared to what I could get elsewhere, but I can't go elsewhere, I'm tied in.

The company pay me the majority towards this, so I'm ok with it.

The actual lease terms are 1x35 payments, 17k miles p.a. (effectively unlimited as the company has a mileage pooling arrangement), full maintenance, insurance, breakdown yada yada. I get taxed on the full amount of the lease, due to latest BIK rules - so £520 out of my pocket! Changes in our company's lease supplier and BIK rules make it very expensive as the examples above show.

Thanks all for sharing sample lease costs, I'll be looking to change to a personal lease and take my allowance as cash to pay for it. I'll have about £450 after tax to spend, so there should be a saving in it for me. Trouble is, if I want another Leon, I best pull my finger out for an order to arrive by April.
