Lease Mini One for only £200/month excl. VAT!

Friday, June 18th, 2010

Lease a Mini One – a small but funky car that needs a good home for only £200/month!

“You were only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!” yelled Michael Caine in “The Italian Job” in 1969 and made cinema history with one of the most-loved one-liners of all time. And, of course, if you’re British you know perfectly well why the Mini – that British icon – has been associated ever since with that film. The film encouraged the popular view of the Mini as slightly rebellious, very nippy and good in a tight spot. And no spot was ever tighter than that in which those British crooks in their three getaway Minis found themselves. Stuck in a city wide traffic jam created by the brains of the group, they took their Minis a near-impossible route out of the city and away. And if it all didn’t end happily every after, it wasn’t the fault of the three Minis.

So, long time after, there had to be a remake. The less said about the latest movie version of the Italian Job the better. But that’s not our interest here – because as we all know, the remake of the Mini range for the modern age was a stunning success. A perfect mix of the best of the old and what made the Mini the Mini, along with the undoubted advantages of modernity.

So, if you’re not looking to move 9 people off to a football match, but rather maybe 2.5 people with a certain amount of élan then you would certainly be looking at a Mini One. And perhaps considering car leasing now – if you haven’t already.

Which is why you’re probably be happily gobsmacked to realise that you could be driving off in one of these delightful brand-new cars for only 200 quid a month on contract hire. Let’s me repeat that : we have the Mini One 1.4 available for only £200/month excl. VAT. That’s a fantastic deal and it would cost a lot less per month to have that sitting outside your swanky apartment or business. Well, it may or not be a swanky apartment, but people are going to make certain assumptions when you have one of these gorgeous little (well, not so little anymore) cars outside.

Please note that this special is only for business users. Yes, I know – frustrating. It’s for super salesmen who need to be with their clients and need a nice car on contract hire so as not too lose credibility. But do give us a call anyway – who knows what might have changed since this blog went up and we may be able to do you a deal.

If you’re thinking of the Mini One, you would be the kind of person who cares about little details. This is a motor vehicle which needs the proper funky care taken with all the add-ons. Which is why we at FinanceACar have included the ‘Pepper Pack’ of combined accessories in this deal that this just makes it so much more irresistible as part of a car leasing deal. And just that much more adorable. The Pepper Pack is simply a great add-on option pack which we have decided to take on your behalf (since we know what kind of classy people for whom we tend to finance cars.) It includes a leather steering wheel, alloy wheels, bluetooth etc etc etc.

Autoexpress drove this car for a long period before telling us what a good time the reviewer had: “The One reminds me of an original Mini – I find myself leaving it in third gear because it sounds just right. Performance is relatively modest, but around town no supercar is faster. You don’t even miss the extra power of the Cooper or Cooper S. And people still turn and look – the MINI shows no sign of losing its street cred.”

So, if you’ve ever thought about it, think about it some more. At only £200 a month excl.VAT, that’s the kind of deal that will have you feeling like you’re driving a coach-load of stolen gold back through the Swiss Alps…

Lease Citroen C3 Hatchback – une voiture trés bon marché mais aussi sympa

Wednesday, June 9th, 2010

Well, for those of you who don’t speak French, this is just a really nice, really inexpensive car which will be friendly to your pocket and a good friend in general. And for those of you who do speak French, I did my best with Google Translator, what more can I do? I am not here to sing this car’s praises or write French literature, we only have a few available on special and we needed to get the word out – pronto.

We’ve got a great special car leasing offer on the Citroen C3 Hatchback 5 dr 1.1l where you can park this car outside your house for only £151 per month excl. VAT for 48 months on a personal contract hire. We estimate that’s about £110 a month less than you’d be paying on a car loan over that period and you don’t need to worry about the resale value at the end.

There’s near unamity on this car, with Top Gear (not sure if it was Jeremy Clarkson but I think not, perhaps they gave him the day off) saying: “A kind of French Ford Fiesta, but cheaper to buy, insure and run.” How simple is that? Not a lot to get your head around, except it may take some time to grasp just what a good deal it is when you could have this in your garage for only £151 per month excl. VAT. This is just such a good sense deal for those who don’t need to be hugging the curve in a low-slung convertible but would rather be able to “bask instead in the agoraphobia-inducing charms of that massive panoramic roof.” (Top Gear again…)

So, do consider this special car leasing offer from FinanceACar if you’ve decided that frugal, sensible and French may be the way to go.

Lease Kia Soul – with an option to buy on a contract purchase

Tuesday, June 8th, 2010

The Kia Soul is modern, fresh, perhaps even as funky as its name suggests. It’s larger than you might think when you look at the pictures and is what some of the world’s most advanced designers of family cars think you need to really appreciate the 21st Century good life. It’s lively, fun, immensely practical and a little bit different.

But perhaps too different? So after considering it, you relapse and buy something a little more mainstream and (dare we say it) old-fashioned? That’s exactly why we had to bring this latest contract purchase deal to your attention.

Wait for it – a contract purchase deal on a Kia Soul Hatchback for only £207 a month excl. VAT over 48 months! And the exclamation mark is fully warranted, for it’s actually less per month that a contract hire deal over 36 months. Contract purchase means that after 48 months you can either return the car or purchase it for a single agreed final payment. So, you have the certainty of buying the car through hire purchase or a car loan. But if you find you want to move on from the Kia Soul Hatchback 5dr 1.6 after a few years, then you don’t have to worry about resale value. You simply hand the car back after 48 months and walk away.

And what does our old friend Jeremy Clarkson, lover of the ultimate sports cars and scourge of the not-so-great cars of the world, have to say about the Kia Soul in the Times? Simply that:

“It looks fantastic because it looks fresh and exciting and modern and nothing like anything that has gone before. And that means the nation’s dreary people will think: “Oooh no. I’d better not buy one of those because it’ll be hard to sell and may look dated in a couple of years’ time…[but it is] the first car from the Pacific rim that is more than 1.2 tons of metal, glass and plastic. The Soul is that as well but it has a personality. It wormed its way into my heart.”

So, why don’t you discover what made the hardest man in automotive criticism go all gooey on us? And then think about the car finance that could take all the risk out of one of the best car leasing deals we’ve seen in a long time. And did we mention the Kia 7 year manufacturer’s warranty?

Lease Volvo V70 Estate 2.0d SE – Swedish standards and roominess

Friday, June 4th, 2010

Volvo may now be owned by a Chinese company, but their cars will always be as Swedish as Ikea and Abba. Known originally for their practicality, safety and family-friendliness, Volvo has worked hard over recent years to build upon that solid reputation and have succeeded in making much-loved cars. Of course, their new cars are also available as part of our car leasing deals, if you’re thinking of getting this car for your family and then retaining the freedom to replace it in a few years.

Still today if it’s practicality you’re after, you can’t beat the sheer convenience and usefulness of an Estate, and the Volvo V70 is a particularly strong example of the breed. So we wanted to mention our new car leasing special offer on the Volvo V70 Estate as soon as we received it – the Volvo V70 Estate 5dr 2.0D SE for only £300 excl. VAT per month for a 36 month contract hire. This is an excellent car leasing deal, and there’s limited availability of vehicles available in stock at this price.

But that’s not all – these vehicles have leather upholstery, metallic paint (either silver or black) and are even Bluetooth enabled.

And we’re pleased to say that this diesel model is our favourite version of the V70, so we have no hesitation in recommending that you grab this special. But don’t take our word for it, that’s the same opinion of Whatcar in their latest review: “If style, space, cabin ambience and low running costs are your main priorities, look no further. You won’t feel like you’ve compromised with this model. It’s not quick, but it’s still our favourite V70.”

This is a chance to get a great family car, at an excellent price with some additional extras (metallic paint!) and no waiting for a factory order – so move fast and send us an email or make a call to us here at FinanceACar.co.uk.

Lease Vauxhall Zafira for £220 a month – practical pizzazz

Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010

There comes a time when the ‘tribe’ otherwise known as the family requires either a convoy or a switch to something a little more practical and roomy. At the same time, you may not want to abandon all hope of a comfortable ride, with a little oomph under the bonnet for when you need it. So, perhaps time to consider the Vauxhall Zafira? Fairly described as the queen of MPVs, the Zafira could be just what you need without yet realising it. And since it’s only a period of 3-4 years when the tribe of adolescents in the house is at its peak in numbers and so is the need for ‘mum’s taxi’, car leasing in place of buying could make good sense. Why buy if two or more adolescents will be off to college before too long? And car leasing provides that flexibility of not having to worry too much when your needs change.

But why consider the Zafira as your MPV? Don’t just listen to us, “the baby website” reviewer helped persuade us of its charms: “Overall, the Zafira has been a complete revelation. I never expected so much space, comfort, practicality, economy and performance to be available in one low-cost package. For those with seven family members to take from A to B, I wouldn’t recommend anything else!”

And if that doesn’t make you at least start considering it … wait until you read our special offer for contract hire here at FinanceACar, lease Vauxhall Zafira MPV 5dr Estate 1.8i Exclusiv at only £220 a month excl. VAT! You could be carrying your entire family to-and-fro for the cost of only £220 a month excl. VAT. This is an excellent deal which we just had to share with you and another example of how personal contract hire is something you should definitely explore as a car finance option.

So do check out the Vauxhall Zafira MPV 5dr Estate 1.8i Exclusiv. And yes, that last e in exclusive is intentionally missing – or maybe they just lost it somewhere in the sheer roominess of this fantastic people carrier?

Lease a Toyota IQ for only £161 per month – an intelligent choice

Tuesday, June 1st, 2010

This is a great time to consider a Toyota IQ if you are looking for a small hatchback, perhaps for running around town?

It’s worth looking at some more slightly unusual models (for the UK anyway!) when test driving those small cars and you may be find something a bit more like what you really need.

Toyota have always had a great reputation for build quality, and with FinanceACar’s great new car leasing offer on a Toyota IQ Hatchback 3dr 1.0 VVT-i at only £161 (ex. VAT) per month over 36 months, you may need to look no further for your dream small car. To lease a Toyota IQ Hatchback through us is  also a very simple process indeed.

Now don’t just take our word for it, even Jeremy Clarkson was fairly impressed:

“It is 2½in shorter than the original Mini, but because the differential is mounted in front of the engine the cabin is big enough for four seats … it falls into the tax-free category… More important, it should do 70mpg if driven carefully.

In white, with the tinted windows, it’s like a Stormtrooper’s helmet. I liked that. And I loved the enormous array of equipment too. It’s hard to think of a single toy fitted to my Mercedes that isn’t in the little iQ.”

Of course, if car leasing isn’t what you’re looking for on a small car, then there are other competitive car finance options available on our industry-leading website. However  do consider car leasing as an option in these difficult economic times, even you haven’t before  - at only £161 per month over three years, this is one car leasing deal we didn’t want you to miss.

Contact us at FinanceACar today if you’d like to know more.

Car Leasing Deal – KIA SPORTAGE from £218/month!

Monday, May 17th, 2010

The downturn has helped lesser known Koreans car brands such as Hyundai and Kia take a bigger market share thanks to their very good value for money offering. Kia is now one of the fastest growing car manufacturers in the UK thanks to it’s range of good value hatchbacks, estates and 4x4s. FinanceAcar.co.uk has a very interesting Car Leasing Deal on the SPORTAGE DIESEL ESTATE 2.0 CRDi XE 5dr 2WD. Thanks to the attractiveness of contract hire in the UK as a financing method, you could drive this very attractive car for as little as £218 exc. VAT/month if you pay it over 48 months.

You can read Parker’s Good review that states: ” The Kia Sportage is a stylish small off-roader that majors on value for money. It comes extremely well equipped and there’s a lengthy warranty as standard on new cars – something which used buyers can also take advantage of. Although it’s unlikely the Sportage will often be taken off road, it’s actually quiet capable on tricky terrain. But it’s on road where it will spend most of its time and here the Kia is comfortable. … The Sportage was facelifted in late 2007 with retuned suspension and less bodyroll – and newer cars are a vast improvement.”

This is a highly popular car and there can be some order backlogs from the manufacturer so order this asap from FinanceAcar’s Car Leasing Specials in order not to miss out on this deal!

Business Car Leasing vs Hire Purchase – Tax and VAT Benefits

Thursday, May 6th, 2010

The general tax and VAT advantages for a business using car leasing (or contract hire) over hire purchase are:

  1. A vehicle on contract hire is an operating lease classified as “off balance sheet” which has accounting benefits as it improves the financial ratios (gearing) for a business. With hire purchase the vehicle is treated as an asset  as soon as you take possession (even though you won’t own it until the final payment);
  2. With car leasing/contract hire the monthly payment can be offset against taxable profits thereby reducing the tax a business pays;
  3. With car leasing/contract hire, if the business is VAT registered it can reclaim 100% of the VAT if it is used exclusively for business or 50% on the finance element of the rentals if the vehicle is used privately.

The general tax advantages for a business using hire purchase compared to car leasing are:

  1. If ownership is a priority (even though the business will not own the vehicle until the final payment after 3 or 4 years) hire purchase is an extremely cost effective method of borrowing;
  2. Businesses might be able to claim tax relief on the interest charged across the period of the hire purchase contract;
  3. With hire purchase, because the vehicle is classified as an asset, the depreciation of the car can be written off against taxable profits.

It should be noted that businesses cannot claim any VAT relief for the purchase of a car (or via hire purchase) unless the car is used exclusively (100%) for business purposes or if the car is used mainly as a taxi or a car for a driving school.

A helpful tool that gives instant price comparison between car leasing, hire purchase and other car finance for 6,500 cars is available on www.FinanceAcar.co.uk

Life after scrappage scheme – lots of choices, including leasing a car!

Friday, April 30th, 2010

FinanceAcar found this good article from Autoblog about where to go to buy a car post-scrappage scheme: http://uk.autoblog.com/2010/04/04/life-after-scrappage-what-are-the-choices/

The article gives you a good summary of the different incentives that manufacturers have created to make up for the end of the scrappage scheme that the government had put in place and which lopped £2,000 off the price of a new car. The popular scheme was responsible for finding homes for around 350,000 new cars and makers are therefore desperate to keep buyers walking into showrooms.

However, this article doesn’t give much information on the great car finance and car leasing deals that are also available to consumers and businesses. At the end of the day, what is important is really how much you will end up paying every month and this is what FinanceAcar tries to achieve by comparing all car finance options side by side.

Go check out the offers from the different manufacturers, but more importantly, spend a bit of time on FinanceAcar to compare the best car finance and car leasing deals!
