Affordable Leasing - POLL

Ok people I going and run a poll here.

It is common knowledge that prices are inflated in Trinidad even considering the inclusion of MV tax and VAT etc. Currently leasing a car in Trinidad is as expensive as purchasing it because of the round-robin the dealership does through the banks.

If a company was to offer affordable leasing options what would you think will be the best option(s) -

1) One Year lease with option to purchase
2) Two Year lease with option to purchase
3) Three Year lease with option to purchase

Also, which auto makers do you prefer to lease -
1) VW
2) Audi
3) MB
4) BMW
5) Mazda
6) Infiniti

Thanks.

I'd say a two or three year lease with a purchase option. I assume that the leasing would include everything but gas. As for the maker, I'd go with Audi, BMW or Mercedez Benz.

Scriocco R for two - three year with option to purchase. As for the R32 its gonna be way to expensive when it comes to importing due to the size of the motor.

Great poll. Two - three year lease with option to purchase and 1)VW and 2)Audi. I would like to see the latest model MK6 Golf 1.4 TSI and MK6 GTI Golf/Rabbit. For fleet/company purchases mostly. It would even be more persuasive, if the local distributors and our government dept. were to give an incentive inside the deal - too many taxes have deterred such decision making when it comes to choosing your fav. preference.
Let's face it. Yes, companies have budgeted for new car purchases. However, one would be more humble in their choices and probably go with what's not on the list above. Even if they were TDI engines.

Creating options/policies of such would help keep the economy sustained rather than slowing it down. Scriocco R engine that ups power from 197bhp to 207bhp, R32, EOS, Audi range and Infinite G37 Coupe such cars was designed for safety, comfort, personality, oh yes and did I mentioned speed. But I'd way my options on other brands as well.

...there you go. Which makes the Scriocco R leaving the asphalt when turning corners at high speed. But great for straight road at quick transmission dsg progressions.

As I promised everything has been considered and the ball has been rolling. The will be a reality before the year is out and you will not be disappointed!

Keep leaving feedback with models that you may wants to see. Note that most of the models mentioned is this thread are on the shortlist!

Leasing of 3 years with the option of purchase would be most attractive for companies, I know of several companies doing this right now.

My views are VW and Benz
