Anyone any experience of non status car leasing?

Hi,

Im looking to getting a non status lease as my car I use for work is on its last legs and is looking to cost me around £900 to repair! I desperately need to sort a reliable car but cant go down the normal route with the bank as I have a CCJ.

Has anyone had any experience with the above?

Thanks

Richard

    You are probably stuffed but how long ago was the CCJ? You can always ask someone like Ling and see what she says.

    Can I just suggest that leasing will not be a panacea and you will generally needat least 3 months lease up front. If you are using it for work then if you are doing high mileags this will also ramp the monthly cost hugely (depending on mileage)
