Right...Leasing..

Teledude · 28 Feb 2006 at 14:01

Just accepted a role with 4200 car allowance but my old banger super whizz audi does not cut the mustard....

Does anyone have any experience of buying a car on Finance or leasing?

And what should I be looking at for 250-300 a month?

many of the folks at work have opted and taken cars on PCP plans , 230-300 would get a mid range Focus IIRC( maintenance included ) but dont forget you get tax relief on business mileage too so you may have more to spend

Guy at work is leasing, he got a fully loaded megane convertible on lease for 3 years and thats 250 a month.

I would personally take the money per month and get my own car.

Edit just asked him its 354

PCP? So personal finance from a dealer?

I totally forgot to ask about mileage

Just checked our quote system at work and £300 gets you ( full maintenance / 20k miles a year )

Focus 1.6 sport 5dr

Mini Cooper

Civic 1.6SE

206 1.6 sport

Astra 1.4 expression

Gold 1.4FSi

Sounds good - cheers rotty - so I presume that the employer pays the figure direct for the car monthly?

the company pays an amount into the salaries of those who do this ( I don't ) this amount is taxable ,the amount of the PCP is then deducted from the salary

if you want a quote on any particular car let me know

Try a company called 'Central Contracts'. They will quote you on any car, and find you the cheapest from around 10 different sources.
