| You do not have to lease a new car
We all get a car allowance at work, we all tend to lease 12 month old BMW's they've taken the initial hit on depreciate and hold their value well so you don't lose as much.
My 320D saloon cost me less that £300 per month on a 20k contract, plus at the time they were offering 3 years free servicing and warranty. In the end it was cheaper to run than my previous Focus.
Talk with the business manager at your local stealer, he will give you an ideal of what your budget is, you can negotiate on rates, I tend to pay between 5-6% APR (it was 2% over base rate). I don't know where your based we have a good dealer near us, it's more like a family run business that a main dealership.
(and for those of you who know the area - I'm not talking about the one in Bournemouth!) |
