Wait, an Audi A1 cheeper than an Astra

Seriously? That's not a typo//VXR ?

Wow



@MISC & Rave: He said the car was dying anyway, I think the lady comment was a kill two birds with one stone/another consideration for a purchase which was necessary regardless.

@Danceswithunix: Focus RS would be fun...Although I concede it is pure hooliganism on four wheels...

Nope it's not a typo

The A1 residuals are strong so the PCP deals are very cheap. The Astra's residuals are not in the same league, so it loses more over the 3 years, so you are paying more. Residuals are more important than initial costs with a PCP, since you are really just paying the cost of the depreciation over the contract term. The Audi A1 is actually cheaper on a PCP than the equivalent specification Polo or Ibiza! (they are all based on the same chassis)

Those prices are only estimates since it does vary depending on dealer/exact model/deposit/term/status, but the scale is about right

Not half bad, not half bad.
