Alfa Romeo Contract Hire and Alfa Romeo Lease Car Offers

Car Leasing as an Alternative to Buying a New Alfa Romeo Outright

You’re looking to get a brand new Alfa Romeo - either as a private buyer or for a business.  What are your alternatives?  The two most popular and sensible options financially are OUTRIGHT PURCHASE and LEASING.

Buying your New Alfa Romeo - Outright Purchase

It's yours.  That's the main benefit from outright purchase.  The Alfa Romeo belongs to you (assuming all the finance is paid up), and as the owner you can sell it, part-exchange it, modify it, or simply run it until it stops working!  Alfa Romeo dealers will offer enticing deals and discounts on new Alfa Romeos to make outright purchase even more appealing.  There are definitely bargains to be had, but you must be willing to shop around and not just accept the price being offered by your local Alfa Romeo Dealer.  You'll have to haggle and be willing to walk away. CarSite.co.uk does offer a service where you can get deals on a brand new Alfa Romeo - so if you're wanting to buy your new Alfa Romeo outright that's worth looking at.

The downside to outright purchase is the obvious one - the cost.  You buy a brand new Alfa Romeo and as soon as you drive it off the forecourt, it's already lost some of its value.  Depreciation is a major consideration when buying a new Alfa Romeo.  Other costs include maintenance and servicing costs (a good warranty can be essential) and road tax.

Contract Hire & Leasing Your New Alfa Romeo

The alernative is contract hire or leasing.  You don't actually take ownership of the car, and instead pay a fixed monthly rate for the Alfa Romeo (that will include road tax costs and can include maintenance and servicing).  There are a number of benefits from this approach.  You get a brand new Alfa Romeo for starters, without having to pay the full new car price.  After the period of the lease (usually 3 years), you simply hand the car back, and then you can look at getting another new Alfa Romeo on lease.

The downside is that although you avoid paying depreciation on the full price of the car, you need to make sure you look at the cost over the full period and ensure that it makes good sense to your situation.  Use the form above to find the best Alfa Romeo leasing offers in the UK on CarSite.co.uk.  Options and maintenance packages can affect the payment amounts, so it is often worth getting quotes from more than one leasing broker to see who provides the best price for your new Alfa Romeo, and of course the best quality of customer service.
