Leasing a new car for next October?
Daft as it sounds, I was wondering if I should sign up to lease a new car for next October - I hand my current car back on last day of September on its PCP.
Would they allow you to start your lease that far in future? Any benefits in doing so? Locking in todays prices? Thoughts please |

We buy our cars outright, but yes thinking of ordering one for August to be ready before MOT runs out. Will be wanting them to stick to a firm price and trade-in value. They have already said our car is desirable and in demand and offered increased trade-in, but they had no car to sell us. Its a 4 year old diesel saloon.

OP. I think it very much depends on how specific you are on your needs and also how impacted by the chip shortage the particular model you want is.
I ordered a new car in early September and doubt I will get it before Xmas and more like mid January. Even then certain things are not on it due to the chip issue albeit the price is reduced. The same car but with a smaller engine would be a March delivery at the earliest. However I have a fixed price for my car no matter what mileage I put on it plus my deposit has fixed the cost of the new car. If it was me I would be chatting to a Dealer now but probably Feb/March would be their answer.

Definitely worth asking. Was in a dealership on Saturday (BMW, was looking at X5). Estimated delivery is June/July but with plant shutdown starting around then, it could be October. Also, some options are now unavailable with no date as to when they’ll come back on line.
And if that seems bad… also looking to get myself a new road bike. If you’re lucky you can get a fixed spec bike by March, but none they had were right size/spec. If you want made-to-order (which is what most club cyclists would want) delivery is 2023! |

I ordered my new car back in June with an estimated delivery of October, that has since been moved to December due to the chip shortage. So they are taking a while.

We leased again this year. We started looking in April and got prices then but they wouldn't hold them and put and agreement in place until much closer to us getting the car. As it turned out the price went down a bit which was good but as much as you can put in an order you can't lock in the price. The good side of that was that we could back out if we changed our mind.
Lead times on new cars is a bit crazy at the moment. We were meant to get ours mid Aug and only got it three weeks ago so looking and ordering early is not a bad shout |

I ordered my car In july and delivery isn’t until the second week in November but the trade in on my current car stays the same as does the price of the new one. I guess it depends on what you want and the lead time, some are 9 months to order!

I hand my pcp back in September and was looking at getting a Macan they are currently taking orders for August. I finally ordered a Audi SQ5 coupe that I’ll pick up in December so dose depends on what you want. Good luck
