Vast majority of Golf R estate deals with near 1500 down, are 350-400 @ 10k miles.
I'd say you were more lucky at that pricing, I'd be surprised to hear it would be factory order. I'm yet to really see any substantial hangover from the VW emissions scandal.
Here's hoping the current R deals pricing get cheaper. If I can get a hatch or estate for 250 at 8k pa,with less than 2k put down, I'd be tempted.

My mother has recently been in the market for a new car. She decided on a Golf SV with a couple of options. List price was £24,800. Cost to lease one of these with specific options for 3 years was about £16k
Spent 2 minutes on carwow and 5 dealers came back with quotes, cheapest was a straight 20% off, bringing the cost to buy down to 19,800 or so, a saving of about £5k.
So, if we apply similar to a Golf R, the actual selling price is about £33,000, and a 20% discount brings that down to £26,400.
So the 2 year actual loss is about £6k, all in.
I contend, therefore, that new car list prices have been massively inflated which makes all the PCP and lease deals look rather better than they are. Happy to discuss as it's only a contention at this point.

I thought the exact same thing LG. Noone pays list on any non limited supply cars.
Regardless a good indication of costs (bar the unknown damage hit) gives you risk free motoring if you fancy a new car

They'll end up at 20k in 2 years and that's a 15 loss, which is double my cost. I can't quite work out how or why but it certainly looks like a deal to take advantage of.

You need to keep your eye open for these. They crop up and then jump on. Mine is ordered directly through vw, so avoided any brokerage fee as well. They are definitely out there.

Yes re over inflation. Its the only way they can be doing this. How else can you shove out a car for 2 years for half the price of depreciation. It makes no sense. Quite looking forward to a car I would never buy new.

We might be in for one of these. How does one go about leasing? Seems to be lots of companies offering them, and a bit of a maze for the uninitiated. Can you do it through VW direct? Advice appreciated!

This is a good place to start: http://www.parkers.co.uk/cars/leasing/
Find the deal you want and then get in touch with the company. If you want to lease from a dealer, find the best deal and see if they'll match it.
It's really very straightforward and all done on line, otherwise.
