Latest Land Rover Car Leasing News & Blog

I hope this all makes sense?

Should I proceed in putting you in touch with our specialist department who will offer you some big engine vehicles that are available at really lower prices?

The intention would be to hand the car back at the end of 3 years and just start again. This is essentially my everyday work horse so its not really about ownership. Very happy to look at some big engine vehicles alternatives.

In that case, I will get you in touch with our prestige vehicle department that can help you with such vehicles. You will be contacted by one of the team members.

Hi, I work as an engineer in London but I don't have any credit history. Can you help me?

Are you on the Electoral (able to vote in the UK)? Have you lived and worked in the UK for at least 3 years or more? Are you a home owner or do you rent?

I'm from Mexico so I'm not on the Electoral. I have been in the UK since September 2009. First year as student. I got a job in February 2011 and I have been working for the same company since then. I have been banking with Lloyds since September 2009. Hope this enough but please let me know if you need more information.

Thanks for the info but you have to be registered on the Electoral as a minimum because the funders we use for finance will check your address against this.

If you are not a UK citizen then the next best is to be a EU citizen from one of European Union countries, like Germany, France, Spain, etc or a country from the British Common Wealth like Australia, South Africa, India and so on or from one of the British dependent territories like Malta, Gibraltar, Virgin Islands, etc.

I'm afraid Mexiko is not one of the countries that qualify for the Electoral. I believe if you have the right to stay in the UK and your Visa permits you to work then I believe you can register to vote (local council elections, vote for Mayor and Police and Crime Commissioner, but not Parliamentary elections as in to vote for a Prime Minister). Ask you local council if you can register?

You need to have a permanent address first of all, Visa and the right to work in the UK. Then when this has gone through, get yourself a UK credit card. I'm afraid you will have to wait a few months, use your card wisely and spend and pay back money. This creates credit history, but first you must get yourself a BT landline at the property you are living also get a utility bills in your name. Then a UK mobile phone contract. Once you have all this in place then you will get on the ladder for credit and a car lease.

Was this info helpful for you? Do you need anything else I can help you with?

Wow, that was very useful information. I will get right on it. thank you!!

I want to lease a Land Rover Evoque, 10-12k ideally 24 month lease on cheapest Evoque that you have - my budget is £250

There is no such thing as an Evoque for just £250 a month.

What is the best price you can do then?

The Evoque you picked is £284 + vat making it £341 per month or more depending on the type of lease. However, I'm afraid you need to have excellent credit history, lived and worked longer period at the same address, a higher income and a higher budget. Is this your only choice or do you have other vehicles in mind within your budget? or would you like me to quote you on something similar which you could have?

My company is also vat registered so I shouldn't have to pay vat is that correct? also I was thinking of forwarding my emails to your managing director and ask him to give me a call please and just in case you are doubting any of the content written in this message I am more than happy to provide him/her with a copy of the log books for all my vehicles.

That won't be necessary to show us your past cars that you have leased. It really is down to your credit history. Also, a business lease is when your company leases the car and is subject to the company's credit history. If you are paying for the vehicles out your own pocket then it is a personal lease. If the company is vat registered then of course you have to pay vat. All prices are plus vat where ever you go. The difference is if you lease the car in your business name then you get a portion of the vat back. If you lease it as personal hire then you charge your business the business miles and you get tax return. Maybe it is best to ask your accountant for some advise?

Firstly I would like to give you a little bit of background information on me; I am a European Operation Director of a corporate blue chip company. My European office is based in Berlin, Germany. Running alongside of that I opened a business almost a year ago and over the past 12 months out of my own pocket I have supplied that business with 15 cars that business now pays me a return of £1800 per week NOT per month.

You said your monthly income was £1200 so I went by with what you stated.

Then I guess it was my own fault that I felt the way I did. Sorry. We are now opening a second business and on my accountants advice she told me to sell the cars and use that cash to fund the second business rather than fund it out of my own pocket.

So is the Evoque for you or someone else?

The range rover Evoque was for my manager I have an Audi A8 sat on my drive which replaced my Range Rover Vogue last year. So how would this effect you well after the range rover for my manager, in April I will be looking to lease at least 15 (maybe 20 depending on how the new business grows) 3 series BMW s or Vauxhall insignias also I want to go back to a range rover Vogue leased this time not bought.

As I said your original email was very short and not much to go by.

True, the information I gave you was very rushed as I was trying to get back to the UK I am a very busy person with the corporate business let alone dealing with my own business and I didn’t need a lesson on vat of course I know you have to pay vat and reclaim it what do you think I have been doing for the last twelve months.

I will get an adviser from the prestige vehicle department to help you get a suitable car within your budget, but it will not be a brand new Evoque but a second hand one, as your budget is not enough. Maybe if you can increase it to £500 to £600 we can get you a brand new one.

HI can can you find me an Evoque offer for less than £400 a month, including the vat?

I want to lease the Evoque that I picked. The cheapest one possible.

I'm afraid the Evoque you picked although listed it is not available. Is this your only choice or have you other similar cars in mind that work out well on a car lease?

Yes it is. All I want is the Evoque. Will you be getting anymore?

We do have some in stock but not the cheapest one that you picked. There are a few with higher specs available and price a bit higher. Would you like me to track you for a quote?

Will you be getting the one in that I asked for a quote on? I wanted to pay £300 maximum.

Would that be with or without the VAT for £300 a month?

With the VAT

I'm afraid there is no such thing as an Evoque for just £300 a month.

Your website said £284 including VAT. You obviously do that to entice people to get a quote.

No, not really. That is £341.94 with the VAT? That is not £300.

OK So I was being stupid, for £340 then, can I have one?

Deals come and go, and when they go they go and some people think that its some sort of marketing gimmick. Well it isn't. There were Evoque at that price a few months ago and they have all got snapped up by some lucky customers. Also before you go back to the website and look for more offers you need to understand the logos. Like the Evoque that is out of stock.

You have just contradicted yourself. You just said there is no such thing as a Evoque for £300 a month then said some "lucky customers" snapped them up for that price months ago. If that's the case it should be advertised on the website anymore if it's not available lol absolute joke. So Steve thanks for your time but I can't be bothered to read your rubbish any longer.

What is it you don't understand? Did you read the note about the in stock and out of stock logos? I'm trying to be clear here and you are making fun of me? There was an Evoque for £341.94 which all got snapped up - so I am not sure where you are seeing the £300 price?

Hi, I'd like to lease an Evoque, 10000 miles per year my budget is £320 I want an Evoque only at that price and don't mind second hand as I do know a brand new one costs far more. I'm running a limited company and to be honest my credit history is shocking.

As you are a limited company the funders would require excellent credit history to be able to lease a brand new Evoque. The same will apply if you lease it as a personal lease. You mentioned your budget is £350 for the Evoque? Is that with or without the vat? if with the vat then I'm afraid your budget is not enough either. However, you could be able to lease one of these cars: Juke, Qashqai, Captiva, Kuga, BMW X1 and some other similar vehicles.

OK - I would be wiling to pay a large deposit would that make any difference? Are the prices on your website excluding VAT?

Sorry even a bigger deposit will not change the funders mind, it is down to the credit history that they look at. All business prices are plus vat and personal include the vat.

What would be the difference if I took it our as a personal hire then and not business hire?

Depends on how your personal credit history is like? good or poor?

My business credit file is poor my personal credit file is Fair.

Hi, I would like the Range Rover Sport 3.0 HSE, 4x4, Sat Nav, 20in Alloys, Heated Seats (Used Previous Model) for 2 or 3 years 2nd car choice any other 4x4 considered automatic.

Hi, sure will give it a try but as you have bad credit history this might not be an option.

Just a quick message to say that no one has contacted me yet, can you please advise

Although we help people with bad credit history, are you aware of any issues with your credit history file that is preventing you leasing a car?

I've never leased a car before so I don't know what you would be looking for. There are issues with my credit history, no ccj or bankrupts or anything like that just late payment histories due to the marriage split. although all is fine now they do prevent me from getting finance which is understandable. I did choose your company because you advertise you can help people with bad credit. But as I say I have never had finance for any car before or even leased a car. I hope you can help ? I can provide bank statements etc if that is any help to you?

Yes we do help people with bad credit history. I'm trying my best. : )) As I cannot look into your credit history file, have you seen it lately? If not, you need to see it and clean it up because something in there is the cause and the reason preventing you from leasing and or financing a car. Have a look and let me know what you think is causing the problem? I hope this info helps? I look forward to your findings and resolve.

Hi thanks for your reply , I'm taking from what you have said you cannot get me a leased car? I did say at the outset I have a bad credit history. I've not looked for a while but I know it will be during the time of my separation there was dispute with a lot of money matter and I have mortgage arrears. They have been resolved but it's still on my file. I was also not working due to illness and that had an effect in my personal finances as well.

I have been able to get 2 credit cards and maintained them well all with good payment history. I'm working towards cleaning my file up but certain things won't leave the file for a few years. It also does no help to have too many searches, that's why I've not applied for anything in a few years except my credit cards. I'm now moving forward with my businesses they are thriving and I have not borrowed a penny to finance anything, but there is still going to be a history.

I appreciate very much that your trying your best, but I'm guessing you cannot source anything for me? Would u be able to let me know one way or the other?

Thank you for your time

Maybe if we tried something not as expensive as a Land Rover? How about we pitched you for a Chevrolet Captiva 4x4 or a Qashqai or similar. Main thing is to get you approved for the finance side of the vehicle then once you get your foot through the door and onto a car lease then when a couple of years have gone by and you prove you can repay the car lease you can then exchange the car to something like a Land Rover or similar? Would you like me to give it a try? No credit search will be conduct at this point.

You can try but I'm really not interested in the cars you mentioned, so if it's really is going to be too difficult then maybe I will just have to wait. I'm obviously not in your industry so I do appreciate your expertise and your comments, but if u think you can't get a lease for that kind of car then I don't want you to waste you time. I didn't realise the type if car would be the difficulty I thought it would be the credit history but as I say I really don't no anything about leasing I just no that my budget now can afford between £600 - £800 p/m for a car. I had that kind of car before but that was paid cash and sold during the settlement of the finances in my marriage. I will leave it with u and if u can let me know.

With bad credit leasing the more likely finance agreement would be a Hire Purchase which means you pay to keep the vehicle. For a vehicle like the Land Rover Range Rover Sport an arrange price would be £95,000 to buy one of these and if you were to Hire Purchase this over 4 years that would make the payments £1,979 a month plus interest.

What about if I was to lease a used Land Rover?

Even for a decent used Range Rover Sport the average price is £55,000 and that will make the payments £1,145 a month plus interest. However, you said you want to lease this vehicle over 2 years. Then that will make the payments double, as in £2,290 a month plus interest. So, as you can see the prices are way over our monthly budget, the reason you were not approved and hence why I'm trying to steer you away.

Now I understand how it works.

As I said, if you want to try and go down the route of leasing another similar vehicle then I'm happy to try and help you further.

In that case, can you provide a quote for something like a Chevrolet Captiva, Kia Sportage, the Qashqai or anything in those lines?
