Scirocco Central

the new uk car tax laws only apply to cars valued over £40,000 right? i dont think the R hits that mark unless you add every optional extra maybe.

Also i dont think you pay for road tax if you are leasing as the car is owned by VW. at least i hope you dont

No they apply to all cars registered after 1/4/2017.

If the car is over £40K you pay a £310 premium on top of the £140 VED for the first 5 years.

Lease costs usually include tax though.

Whats the residuals like at the end of the 2 years?

There are no residuals with a lease (assuming you are referring to those on this thread). Just return the car.

Although there is no residuals on a lease contract, as you are paying for the depreciation the residual value does have a major impact on the lease cost. The better the residual value, the less the depreciation is hence a lower lease cost.

Ehhh. Yep. Still no need to be concerned about residuals. Don't care a jot what the car is worth after 2 years. Simples.

o0o0o0oo I bet those mirrors swung it for you

You can still have an option to buy at the end of the lease.

It seems VW is happy taking the Golf R route with these now, however it makes buisness sense as they are still selling units of an old car with no announced update as of yet.
