Volkswagen Arteon

[ozz]

saw one on the road for the first time yesterday and liked the look of them- thought they would cost a fortune- looked at a personal lease for 10,000 miles for 2 years and only around £300 a month with 6 months up front. Anyone got one or know why they are so cheap for such a high spec car?

Suspect VW will be discounting them pretty heavily as the market for saloons that aren’t Mercedes, BMW etc is shrinking.

Car sourcing sites like Carwow are offering almost £4,000 off without even breaking sweat.

and i would think the depreciation will be catastrophic- don't care on a lease though.

They do a hybrid version so will probably be a popular junior manager/salesman company car for tax benefits

Still £9,000 over those 2 years though. Not that cheap!

if you were buying new, the VAT alone would be £7000 so it is fairly cheap.

i fancy it in yellow or gold.

Just think they must have set up numerous focus groups and paid millions to branding consultants to come up with a name like f***ing Arteon.

Mind its probably swahili for 'emissions cheating bastards'.

Great looking car , will be a bargain at 3 or 4 year old , being that its not a “look at me” badge (BMW Merc or Audi) , the current Skoda Superb is nice as well , as is the KIA Stinger - now that IS a shit name! Good car though!

I’d argue that’s 9 grand for 2 years, 6 years of those payments gets you a brand new that you own outright. I’d hoy 2k cash down and get a 25k bank loan personally. Will still be worth a big chunk when it’s paid off.

Edit: I don’t think that servicing and maintenance at 10k a year would exceed the equity you have at the end, nowhere near.

But the depreciation on this could be massive. I pay about £250 for the wife’s Kia shortage and although I love that this looks a different league.

I saw one at the Durham Lookers the other week. I was actually shocked how reasonable the price was.

Do you realise that the lease for 2 years costs you 9 grand? A 6 year old Passat CC is worth 7 grand. At the end of the day it comes down to is the benefit of changing at years 2 and 4 worth more to you than 7k. Horses for courses in fairness.

Greet point. I suppose I like the novelty of a new car without the initial out lay and worry of a break down.
