Got an email from logistics supplier to funder arval called Engineius who offer a driver delivery. Has anyone got arval to offer a transport delivery at cost ?

You'd need to speak to the supplying dealer directly. Arval don't get involved in the delivery process in my experience

We discussed the Eletre deal to death but has anyone actually signed up and who is the funder ?

The deal is real, was at the lotus showroom today - limited stock now, all pre config with added options, which means the lease prices are higher than previously thought. The finance is through lotus finance I believe, offer with accepted finance until end of June.

Absolutely cracking deal IMO. Sod’s Law that I’ve extended my xc90 lease last month so took my eye off this thread.

Which showroom did you go to? I may make some calls tmrw on this one

Hatfield - spk to Guy, very helpful

I'm also dealing with Guy @ Hatfield. They are currently tyring to source 2 x R's , one Black, one Green for my Bus. Part & myself.
He did say they have been inundated with calls & walk-ins since this Lotus support went live and were struggling, so to bear with them.
He also mentioned that a pretty high %'age of the cars that are arriving are cancelled orders, but I suspect they would be Emira's due to the delayed lead times ( I myself cancelled an Emira 2.0DCT order/deposit beginning of this year).

Yes it's free as they don't make one.

[ACCYSTAN]

Surprised at the lack of outstanding deals, can only presume manufacturers are going to back end deals,

[JJMatrixx]

Eletre deal is nice but all cars have spec added and I can't get anywhere near the advertised prices unfortunately.

central in the link above are also suggesting factory orders too; so should be able to take it as basic spec. might be BS though

[Adam1980]

I’m testing driving an R and S tomorrow.

At no point has the dealer mentioned it can be a factory order- but clearly I’ll be sure to ask tomorrow

[Dazo1874]

Apologies if the wrong place for posting but does anyone know generally how long it takes from point of notification to car collection with VWFS ? Trying to tie up dates between new and old cars.

Work colleague is considering the Lotus and has chatted with Central a fair bit. Although they are a nudge more on the deal they have bought up the majority of the stock and they have factory order slots as well which is why its a bit more. Does mean you can spec as you would like it though for Nov/Dec delivery.

~4600 all in to do 30k miles over 18 months. Pretty good I'd say

Unfortunately, insurance on a commercial vehicle is a bd.

Afternoon all!

I'm fairly new to this game but maintaining sheds is getting tiresome. Is there generally a best time of the month, year, quarter to be looking and FTK on a deal?

I've been looking around at 2 year deals on something that'll fit me and the 3x kids who are 12+ under, Skoda Kamiq, Citroen C3, Seat Ibiza, etc. Plan being in 2 years time the wife will be the ex-wife and I'll have a chunk of equity to buy something non-shed like.

I don't think there's a best time of the month/year.
You just need to be ready to jump on the first good deal you see and don't regret it.
Good deals (like the E:ny1 or the Ariya) go very, very quick

I think you will have bigger problems in 2 years time , should go all out on the eletre deal posted here

If grounds were needed you may as well burn brightly on the way out ;-)

There was a deal that came through today from Applied Leasing for the Skoda Kamiq, storming headline figure of £68 per month inc. VAT. When I contacted them the upfront was £3600. Total for 2 years at 5000 miles was £5524 including their £360 charge so not as good as I'd hoped!

If you pop back 10-20 pages there was a link to a Kamiq for £80 a month, not sure if it's still live but a bit of a steal if that's all you need to tide you over!

[Coldplaya]

That’s £230 a month, not a bad deal really? Not as good as say the en:y1 but fairly decent for a small runaround suv.

I’m waiting for the next en:y1 type unmissable deal for ~£200pm. Will then sell my 2018 civic as at £2k per year it’ll make sense to.
Drove past lexus today, a hell of a lot of new Lexus LBX sat there… I could see that being a decent deal soon as per most EV’s.
