With allowance and milegae claims you can just about contract hire at no cost
Allowance = £2350 after tax
Mileage at 40p/mile x 10k = £4000
Mileage at 22p/mile x 15k = £3300
Total per year = £9650
Fuel cost per year (45mpg) = £3300
Insurance = £1000
Service / maintenance /tyres = £1500 (over-estimate)
Tax = £200
Amount to lease car per year = £3700 or approx £300 / month

Some helpful advice above guys - thanks. Gave me a better idea.
Regarding the last poster, - I did have the mileage costs in the back of my mind but putting it down on paper highlights it much better. Thanks.
I've come across this deal;
Peugeot 308 1.6 HDi 16v (92bhp) SR Hatchback 5dr 1560cc (Diesel, Manual, Non-metallic)
£250 per month, 20k mileage, 3 years.
Should I be looking harder?
Not looking for anything glam, just something that will provide me trouble free motoring! I'd ideally prefer a 2 year deal but hey ho.

Do you have an idea of what I should be looking to get then?
My only real criteria is a Diesel of some sort (preferably a hatch?)
Or is just just tell tale of car leasing and would you guys shy away from it?
I can probably get a nice second car in a couple of months as the girlfriends main car, so I really am only fussed about having a reliable motor, preferably where I don't have to **** a brick every time the MOT comes around
Why not? 20K miles a year sounds like mostly motorway miles and a 92BHP diesel will happily sit at 70MPH on the motorway all day. Granted it might not be the fastest car up to 70 and overtaking on a hill might be fun but hey surely you would just change your driving style to match the car. The Golf Bluemotion is only 105BHP and you see lots of them on the motorway.

my lord that is possibly the worst designed website in the entire world.
It should be shown to all potential future web developers at college / uni etc.. as how NOT to make a website.
I've seen myspace websites put together by 12 year olds that are better.

Given the 53mpg this gives you an extra £40 a month due to fuel savings against 45mpg. Price is £342 for 20k, however you will need to find out what the additional cost is for the extra 5k miles plus whatever private mileage you do.

I didn't mind having a company car. Everything is taken care of, no bills, insurance or repairs to pay. If some idiot crashes into you or damages the car the company sorts it. Mind you at the time I was doing 22k miles per year just to get to work and back. Never mind any travel in between.
Yes it may not be the cheapest way to motor but it was nice and easy.

This thread relates to private leasing and contract hire, he is given an allowance to source his own car? The op says in the opening post that there is no scheme at work and he has to source privately?
