You may want to consider buying additional warranty with a used one, especially if it's a DSG equipped car.

Good luck getting through four years on a second hand car without at least one or two significant maintenance bills.

Surley if you buy 2nd hand you keep for more than 4 years. As you'll knownits a good car and run it into ground.
Thats when the maths then works good.

Lease / used math (ish)
If I lease a new Superb (or other barge) it will cost me about £18k over four years. Yeah.
If I buy a used one for about £12-£18k, it will still be worth 'something' at the end of four years, assuming I'm not doing 100k miles a year (I'm not). Maybe I'll spend a bit more on maintenance, but if I'm lucky it shouldn't be a black hole for cash.
What could I get back at the end? £4-6k, assuming whatever powers it hasn't been found to be doubly / tripply cancer / global warming inducing?
Anything else I need to consider?
