Hi all, think its my first post in the second gen IS section. Anyway on with my point.....
I’m having muchos debate with myself as to what car to get next, if to leave Lexus or not?, im looking to change maybe end of October time or latest would be early in the new year.
Having had a snoop round my local dealer at the weekend, i was looking at the IS250 and IS200d and i do really like them, its the first time ive had a real close look at them, they had a nice red ISF in too....
If i decide to go the Lexus way again, my heart is saying IS250 and my head is saying the IS22d!, i would probabally be looking at the SE spec, or a standard with MM.
Ive been toying with the idea of getting a car on personal contract hire instead of buying the car like i did with my current IS. Im not really fussed either way about owning my car if you get me and like the idea that it would give me greater flexibility to change on a more regular basis, unlike if i was to buy one myself, in which case i would be looking at a second hand one and taking out a small finance package anyway. (im still not getting the point here! i will stop waffling)
So....(to the point) as i have no experience with personal contract hire, i was wondering is there any room for negotiations between myself and the dealer like there would be if i was buying the car, so that you can bring the monthly payments down? i'm not sure if there would be or not, with you only essentially hiring the car.
Im in the position to get a car now if i wanted, but being sensible i would rather get my summer vacations out of the way and bide my time rather than rush into anything and get something i really want and at the best deal possible, so any advice would be much appreciated.
