Lease car for £120 a month??

Mr. May · 25 Jan 2013 at 17:33

My mum needs a new lease car for work and has £120PCM to spend.

She currently has 2010 fiesta 1.6 dag Ecoboost 4door.

Her requirements is 4 doors 50+ mpg big-ish boot (needs to fit a wheel chair) same size or bigger than the fiesta.

So open to wide range of cars, so fire away

No chance at that money - you're talking c1 type of car or maybe the crappiest of fiesta sized cars

Is it a company lease scheme she has access to?

If so hard to recommend as no idea of their pricing.

If it's a private lease she has to undertake herself then that doesn't get much, what sort of payments is she looking at, 2/3 years, 3/6 month upfront?

You cannot lease a car as big or bigger than a Fiesta with space for a wheelchair for £120 a month.

Whats wrong with the Fiesta she has now?

Yes NHS metal health care. she said there are people who have got a new fiesta for about £70 a month.

So really then its a question none of us can answer as we don't know the very specific pricing on your mums subsidised lease scheme.

Get us a list of cars and we can help, until then all we can go on is market lease prices which for £20k a year for £120 a month gets you absolutely nothing.

Then as Fox has said, as we no nothing of the prices of cars on the scheme there's not much we can help with as we'll have no idea of the costs!

Well let me re-word it, if you was going for a cheap company car on lease what would you go for ?

The point is £120 doesn't get you anything unless the scheme is subsidised, without knowing the subsidises then it's not possible to answer the question.

I know i keep asking my mum and all I get is "I dont know" :rolleyes:

You have to send the spec and car away to them then they get a price only 3 cars at a time

Try something Korean, they always seem to be quite cheap and they want to shift them.
