Obviously with the odd week when it got locked in a car park so Miami had to look after it for a week. Quote

Plus it’s another registration if that makes sense. most companies lease them hence the 3/4 yr terms. I change mine at 8k miles hence every 12 weeks Or so Edited August 27, 2020 by Escobarp Quote

Just trying to understand the angle that makes it good sense for the company. Quote

Do you work for a motor manufacturer or dealership or some such or is it to do with tax? Quote

Yes we can either buy them at what it stands the company or they get sold into the dealer network at a slightly higher figure and retailed by the dealer at a significant mark up from there pal. So it ensures a flow of good quality low mileage, no more than 9 month old stock into the car network. Quote

Not jealous at all 🤥 Done via a lease purchase scheme so I buy the car sort of and then when I hand it back they buy it back at what’s outstanding. But I don’t actually buy it if that makes sense. I pay a sum towards it each month but get a chunk back for mileage allowance for using my own car which almost offsets the cost 😁. It’s a great scheme and ties folk in hence why most folk are lifers. Two levels up from me are g wagons. Imagine having one of them! Edited August 27, 2020 by Escobarp Quote
