Has anyone tried Frontier Vehicle Leasing, or had any experience of them?
I hadn't considered leasing until I saw this thread, but now I'm tempted. As I see it
The advantages:
1. If I don't like the M3 I'll only have it for a couple of years
2. In a couple of years there might be a facelifted M3 with new features - e.g. 5G is supposed to be coming to cars in a big way, if you believe the hype. That's a huge plus.
3. If Tesla goes bust it won't be my problem, and let's face it no one can be certain if they will or won't.
The disadvantages:
1. I don't like the thought of not owning my own car
2. I hate being tied into long contracts
3. I'm afraid of being hit by unexpected costs, such as what they see as "fair wear and tear" at the end of the contract.
4. Ultimately I'll end up paying more than if I bought the car outright.
Still, I'm interested enough to get a few quotes and then I'll make a decision.

I definitely cannot afford to buy the car out right. If the car was £30 000 or less I'd have gone for a hire purchase, but £40 000 is way out of my price range, so leasing is the way to go.
Over the 24 months I will be paying £13 245, well actually £13 350 if you include the document fee charged by Drive Electric. That's a lot less than £40 000!
I'll have it for 2 years and it works out that I'm only paying a fraction over those two years of what I would have paid to buy the car out right. In 2 years time there will probably be a cheaper Model 3 with better range so I'll take out a new lease on that. Or if my circumstances change maybe I'll even go up to a performance model!
Leasing over two years makes the most sense really. I don't have to care about battery degradation or the hardware becoming obsolete. I'm essentially renting something for that period.
If you look at my previous posts you can still get a performance model from OctopusEV or Pink for around £13,378 over 2 years, they don't charge any admin fees.
Thanks Matt, I'm just waiting to hear from Jack about the RN number, hopefully he can get it for me today and I can get my account linked.
Whats your delivery location? Heathrow?
Not with 12k miles - and with my claims history the insurance for a performance will be horrific!
I did quote in my post, excess mileage at 5k pa over 10k is 4.44 for the next 10k miles , so it actually cheaper to take a 5k pa initial and pay the extra !
Try octopusev I had a really good deal that I signed and sorted the same day. They beat all others by £20/m and 6m deposit instead of all others wanting 9 and only 4.44p per mile excessWell I had pretty much decided to go for the leasing option and had explored some costs, but a lot of the deals seem to have disappeared over the last couple of days. Pink Car Leasing seemed to have the best deal, and were quoting initial rental of £4909.05 and monthly rental of £545.45 over 24 months and 15000 miles a year for an M3 Performance-. Then the monthly rental went to over £800, and now the M3 isn't listed on their website at all. Just have to hope there are still some good leasing deals out there.

Thanks, DaveW, I'd really appreciate it if you could ping me Cyril's details. I did ask for a quote from Pink and Octopus on Monday, but both replied that they have a huge amount of interest and will get back to me "shortly". Maybe I can bump the response!
