Car leasing - help

3 replies

popsickle555 · 21/12/2022 11:50

We are looking to lease a car through a broker (select car leasing) and they’ve sent me the contract that’s with a finance company (lex) whose reviews are utterly awful. I’m aware that lex are a huge company but does anyone have any recent experience with them or another leasing finance company that they’d care to share? Ideally a good experience with them or another finance co that I can get an alternative quote from. Thanks

my company car is with lex. No better or worse than anyone else. Big company and will screw you for damage at the end.

I also had a company car with Lex who seemed to be no different to other companies.

Remember that most people won't bother to review something like a car lease company unless they've had a bad experience that they want to rant about/warn people off, so you're probably seeing disproportionately bad reviews.

I had a Skoda on PCP and the finance aspect was VW branded. When I sent the car back it was quite shabby (paint chips on a few panels and two quite big scrapes on the back bumper) and the man who came to examine it said almost all of it was fair wear and tear (look up the BVLRA guide - it's a myth that they expect it back in pristine condition or else you'll get a bill for ££££s) and I had to pay about £60 for one small repair as everything else would have polished out.

I’ve had two leases with lex in recent years, I don’t have any complaints
