    I work for a lease firm. We get car allowance with no option for a company car. Make your own conclusions!

    Years ago leasing firms made its money on the residual value of 3 year old cars which kept monthly cost low and attractive for customer. Now residuals are bad lessors are making money on hand back condition penalties.

    Dont touch carl....4u with a bargepole. Obviously deparate for business and they are rubbish at spamming with poor grammar.

    Send your money to some nigerian banker, The odds of getting a good deal are greater.

    Anyway Leasing is not mad, Doesnt suit everyone, I wouldnt dream of doing it.
    But be aware, What if you lose your job or have reduced income for some reason. Have that around your necks for possibly years maybe a nightmare.

    Any damage will need to be fixed, And done properly to manufacturers standards. Been a few posts where they have picked up repairs and said they are substandard. When the car was returned.
