I'm on vwroc as im always looking in their classified and yes ive noticed the "lease brigade" getting sh*tty with people on there. One chap leases his car and is further finacing his BT and has bought various parts from certain online stores that offer credit etc.......but ETTO.
Leasing/financing or getting a personal loan for a car is a great way to obtain a car that would be out of your reach normally, it's personal chioce and once again......ETTO.
I am fortunate (or lucky enough) to be able to save for a car as I usually keep each car between 5 or 6 years. I'd happily lease a Mk7 R400 or a new RS3 but I'd not feel comfortable modifying it as i feel it's not really mine, im borrowing it. I believe modifing a leased car is also not allowed but I could be wrong.
I'd rather buy a car, know it's mine 100% and do what I like to it, be that good or bad.

I'm with you on that. Just the way I was brought up.
It's nice knowing something is all yours. It's the reward for working hard for something.
I could be driving a mk7 R if I wanted. But I reckon I'd be uncomfortable trying to treat it as mine. Give me my old mk5 any day

Have you looked at Audi s4 b8 or b8.5 as an option for your next car? They can make 500bhp ish with stage 2+ :laugh:

I cannot (alas) get a B8 or B8.5 S4 as those are my brothers last car and current car. I will get a car for half that price and see if I can keep up although his current S4 Black Edition only mods are a Miltek TBE and stage 1 map and that's properly bonkers quick, not sure of bhp.

His 2 tonne Avant S4 is a lot quicker, we've only ever stretched our legs against each other on 1 occasion, flat out I was close but not THAT close. His car is so smooth, so planted and can carry a sofa, the dog and the kids!! It's a proper "grown ups" toy.
(I'll never tell him any of that :wink:)
