Please keep me informed how you get on. I'm looking to change my old Yaris for ??? something new. Interested in how you get on with it. Also, how buying compares to leasing:D
Will do. I'll start a thread over the weekend to track how things are going. Been out looking for charge points today, which was interesting - will save the story for a new thread.
With regards leasing - RIGHT NOW is a good time as the Government grant currently applies to leases, so a lot of the cost is paid for by that! I couldn't resist a brand new car for £150 a month - mine was devaluing quicker than that!0 -
