Has COVID-19 made Car leasing cheaper?

by

“Surely cars are cheaper than ever with every dealership/manufacturer struggling ..” A common statement (or query) which the CarLease team have received during these interesting times, and, has COVID-19 made car leasing cheaper? Since the UK went into lockdown in March, the automotive industry soon followed, with most companies and organisations either shutting completely or, […]

In Review; Audi Q7 DIESEL ESTATE 45 TDI Quattro Sport 5dr Tiptronic [Auto]

by

Our Essex-based leasing customer kindly sent some pictures of their brand-new luxury SUV – the Audi Q7.

by

Thank you to our existing personal leasing customer, from Haydock (St Helens), for collecting their brand-new vehicle from the CarLease team.

In Review; VW Polo 2.0 TSI GTI+ 5dr DSG (Petrol & Automatic)

by

Thank you to our young-driver and new leasing customer from Reading for sending through photographs of their brand-new hot hatch – the VW Polo GTi.

In Review; Mercedes E220d Estate AMG Line 9G-Tronic (Auto/ Diesel)

by

Another luxury, but cheap (do they really go hand in hand?), vehicle delivered to our local business leasing customer from Astley (Greater Manchester). A manageable, but sizeable fleet, they have been an incredibly loyal customer of ours over the last 3 years. Running a fleet can cause some issues for smaller and medium businesses – […]

In Review; Volvo XC60 Estate 2.0 T5 [250] Momentum Geartronic (Petrol/ Auto)

by

It was a pleasure for the CarLease team to personally deliver our new personal leasing customer’s new car, the Volvo XC60 SUV. So would the Volvo be your select leasing option? Or would the Merc GLC, BMW X3 or Audi Q5 be your preference? A first-time customer to contract hire, our local customer from Leigh […]

In Review; BMW 218i M Sport 2dr Cabriolet [Nav] (Petrol/ Manual)

by

Our personal leasing customer from Barnsley (South Yorkshire) kindly sent our CarLease team pictures of their brand-new lease vehicle (the BMW 2 series cabrio) being delivered earlier this week.

by

Thank you to our existing personal leasing customer from St Helens (Merseyside) for sending a picture of their replacement car – the VW Tiguan.

In Review; Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross 1.5 3 5dr (Petrol/ Manual)

by

Thank you to our car rental partners, Enterprise at Leigh, Greater Manchester for allowing us to photograph and review one of the newest fleet additions – the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross SUV.

In Review; Jaguar iPace 294kW EV400 HSE 90kWh (Auto/ Electric)

by

All electric cars are ugly and unusable? Surely electric cars are just short-term phase and won’t really catch on? When electric cars first started to gain popularity the manufacturers went down the room of creating something unique, different and “futuristic”. In particular, some of the vehicles were very cube-like and looked more likely to appear […]

In Review; Tesla Model 3 Long Range AWD 4dr (Auto/ Electric)

by

What is the best electric car to lease in 2019? When is that new Model 3 Tesla ready to price and order? Looking back over the recent 5 years’ and you would find it very strange to think that electric automotive solutions are becoming so popular and topical. We have been repeatedly saying that 2019 […]
