Soldato
We want to move to an EV but want to wait for 2 or 3 years just to wait and see what happens to the battery tech and the residuals.
So we need a ICE to cover the period before we make our minds up on an EV.
We want an estate and the new Skoda Superb estate looks perfect.
Had a lease offer of:
10k miles per year
24 months
£800 up front
£265 per month after that
Total over 2 years: £7160
The alternative would be to buy a 2 year old car and sell it in 2 or 3 years. But doing that would easily lose us a similar amount in depreciation and interest on the whole purchase price over the ownership period.
That looks like an effective way of covering the period in question.
Any gotchas I'm not aware of having never leased before?
