Lease deals on IS300h

[Casa1862]

Anyone know of any decent lease (Contract hire) deals on a IS300h Executive?

Ive currently got one and paid £185 + vat ( plus 6 months upfront) 8k miles, would like to replace it with the same model but price near £260 + vat per month for the same deal now, full leather also not included in the executive model anymore.  Speaking to the dealer it looks like Lexus got the residuales wrong in 2015 hence the low prices. At £185 + vat  the Lexus was a great car, not sure at £260 + vat now as other cars looking better value. 

I've just moved house so want to keep the payments down, only car which comes close is a Skoda Superb 2.0 DSG Tech which has most of the extra's as the Lexus but comes in at £175 + vat pm but 10k miles and much cheaper excess miles, also get Met paint thrown in and has adaptive CC. I know some will look down at the Skoda but seeing one in flesh it seems a decent car, rear legroom is massive, much more than the Lexus which my kids will enjoy. Anyone had any experience with Skoda?

Modern Skoda's, well at least the Octavia and the Superb, are very nice cars. Every time i'm in one i'm quite impressed. 

It's just they seem to suffer from the same problem as German models, as soon as you start adding any extra's the price goes through the roof.

Thanks for the reply. I went for the Skoda Superb, couldn't justify the almost £100 per month extra for a replacement IS, plus had the IS for two year so try something else. Missing on the Skoda is keyless start, heated seats and Xenon, to compensate it's a size bigger and rear legroom and boot is massive, met paint included, ACC, apple CarPlay, mirror link, dsg, decent sat nav, and a third cheaper. 

If the deals get better on the Lexus then I'll try them again, doo really like the brand infotainment systems needs improving though. Leasing certainly works for me, paid £6,5k for the IS, fairly sure if I'd purchase it I'd be looking at a £10k loss after two years.

Heated seats no great loss although the cooled seats in the GS are great in the summer. Keyless start & Xenon I would find it hard to not have now. 

Nice car the new shape Superb.  I would never have the same car twice so good move.

We rent cottages for holidays but would never go back to the same one no matter how nice it was. A change is more fun.   

Post some pics.
