New car time

[unemployed]

Not bad for a top of the range £35k car

you need to be smoking the funny stuff to be paying 35k for passat
what a boring motor

the list price is laughable 20k overpriced

How naive you are.
Auto Express will slag off a brand if they don't pay them enough on advertising.
Nissan spent a fortune on them and they made the really dull Qashqai car of the year.
The C-class engine is gruff on start up, true, but it's silent at speed.
Certainly not strained and droney. Plenty of oomph.

sas could you not afford a better mercedes only a base model

how sad

I thought everyone rented (leased) their cars these days like they rent their houses (from a landlord or bank).

Some of the deals look almost to good to be true. I've read elsewhere that loads of VW Golf R's have been shifted this way, when they did a deal for something like £200/month on a £30k car, that when depreciation is factored in it makes it look like VW are paying you to drive one.

Not looked into it close enough to know if the figures do stack up (especially when excess mileage rates are taken into account) but it seems a very popular way of getting into a new car.

pretty much anything other than a passat

True most of the "new" cars, about 80% I believe, you see on the road are on PLPs
Gives the impression that the UK is wealthy country, when in fact it's all on hock.

Problem is with renting is that you've never got an asset. You're paying the same each month (when you consider the deposit) and having a new car rather than buying a one-year-old car on HP and having a £10-15k asset four years down the line.
