A reputable leasing company should know before you sign on the dotted line when delivery can be expected even if it is a factory build as they deal with all the major players day in day out. I ordered my FL2 in November last year with a delivery date of end of March, actually got it 2 weeks earlier.

I'm getting it through NHS fleet solution. Not sure what lease company they order through. I have just called them and asked for an update they still don't know so are going the chase it up. They don't order many landrovers apparently. |

I ordered a British built lease car (Nissan) in March...the car arrived tail end of August....from one of the major lease companies...many German cars have much longer lease times. Unless it is in stock then minimum 3 to 4 months. |

My own lease car took the usual 3 month. I ordered it direct from the lease company, but arranged for them to source it with a local dealer, so I was able to deal with them for delivery dates.

Just had email from fleet solutions saying that " the leasing company are having problems agreeing a supply price with land rover" so as a consequence even though the order was placed about six weeks ago the car has still not been ordered from LR yet. Look like it will be well into 2012 before I will be getting hold of it. |

I ordered my TD4 GS in Orkney Grey in mid-May via Arval leasing. It arrived at the end of September which was about three weeks later than the expected delivery date.

How did you manage to get NHS leasing to allow you a FL2?

i work in Newcastle and as far as I'm aware NHS fleet solutions here don't have any restrictions on the car you order, you tell them what car you want and what extras and they come back and tell you how much. |

Indeed I think that's correct..it's the NHS organisation that employs you that sets the criteria on the vehile..the lease co can get you anything but your employer may restrict that choice. |

There are two scales of tax (none of them seem a break!) - the first is the differing level of VED (car tax based on CO2 emissions) and the second is the BIK (Benefit in Kind) which again is on a sliding scale based on CO2 emissions. This is where you pay more income tax (through the alteration of your tax code). The higher the CO2 the higher the percentage of your cars list price you get taxed on each year. Just to add to the pain...they adjust the tax/CO2 levels each year just to make sure you may more each year. One often forgotten element of the BIK is that if you make any personal contribution to the cost of the lease car then this can be deducted from the BIK that is due. Useful link http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/cars/rule-changes.htm Employers, particularly public sector, are being tasked to reduce their CO2 emissions...one highly visible area is to force staff into lower CO2 vehicles so they set year on year reductions in max CO2 permitted for lease cars. Personally I think that is wrong if you are paying for the lease car for personal mileage...different if it is a business use only car I agree. |

The CO2 based BIK scale is something that's dear to my heart too.

I will be paying arround £100 per month BIK when every it arrives. I am able to pay for the car through salary sacrifice so the saving i make on tax and NI make it not so bad. |
