Hi folks, I’m thinking of leasing a car but I’ve never done it before. Possibly a Peugeot e208 but have a few months to shortlist before the garages open.
I prefer to own a car but since I want an electric car and battery tech should be doing interesting things in the next few years a shortish lease is probably wiser than tying myself to what’s available now.
I have never leased before, partly because I always lived in busy areas with rubbish on street parking. I’ve never had a high value car because of the amount of damage that other people have done to my cars. Now I have a drive way it’s probably a safer bet. I am concerned about the horror stories I’ve heard about lease companies price gouging on return of the car, charging hugely inflated costs for tiny damage. Is this true? Are some companies better than others? Can anyone recommend good companies to lease from as I’m flying blind.
