    Also watch out for mileage, initial payment and over mileage on the contract. So if you are comparing a 9 + 45/8K miles a year ex VAT lease, to a 3 + 35/10K + VAT lease will look wildly overpriced.
    There is that trick with VW about getting the ppm from 7.2 -> 3 by calling VWFS a year into the lease too. I don't have VW only overheard.

      No you wouldn't. You would be better off doing a VT before the end of your contract.

I would say a cheap lease, followed by an indirect purchase has to be the very cheapest way to buy a new car. Bearing in mind that buying new isn't cheap.
          Look at main dealer leasing offers as I have found that these can often be cheaper than the leasing companies, if you shop around enough.

            This is our experience and have had a Toyota for over 6 years. There is the added bonus that they keep ringing with offers. Some are just a ploy to get you to move up cars but others have been good deals. We've not had a car over two years yet as they keep offering to take it back and waive the outstanding charge if we take another.

            Got a new one last month after only 18 months cause they had 0% offer and wanted to shift some ready built ones. Got a better spec new one for less money!

              Finance companies are entitled to leave a VT flag with the Credit Rating Agencies, and future finance companies are entitled to interpret that VT flag as they wish when determining whether to lend you money in future - some finance companies may have a lending criteria of not lending to people with a history of voluntary termination.
