I've been offered a finance deal that seems to good to be true - is it?
I've received a quote for the lease of a Volkswagen Tiguan SE Nav TDi of £79 per month, with an initial payment of £1527 over 36 months - including a maintenance package. Another car dealer (competing for my business) has told me that this quote is impossible to match and is therefore too good to be true, and that I should proceed with caution. The quote in question is from a Volkswagen dealership and includes a contribution of £718. Who should I believe?

If the quotation is in writing then that's the contract and the Volkswagen dealer cannot deviate from it. It does read like a good deal, even though you'll be sacrificing the £1527 deposit and the maintenance contract does not amount to much. Regard it as a hand-back at the end of the term rather than expect any equity in the car in 36 months time.
