| Greenpants - I work for Arnold Clark Fleet, what sort of car are you thinking about, do you want it with maintenance or not?. Do you want the option to own the car at the end of the agreement?. SOME GOOD ADVICE AND SOME BAD ADVICE ON HERE SO FAR. Leasing is a good option if you don't want the hassle of having to get rid of a vehicle at the end of the term but your not doing huge mileage, 15K to 20K is a lot more common these days, with 30K to 40K being more common for the business user. Unless your getting a decent amount for opting out of a company car scheme ie (£500 a month) then i would never advise anyone to do so, unless their happy to buy a used car in the region of £9K to £10K. I personally run a Toyota Hilux 3.0 D4D Invincible which i use for business use only and for the commute to and from work, Under the new rules i therefore pay £0.00 for company car tax and £0.00 for the free fuel allowance i get.
Anyway, if you want to let me know what sort of vehicle your thinking about, i can do you some figs.  |
