    Shortly the buy a banger its cheaper brigade will be along and there usually right.
  • Buy a banger it's cheaper. And you won't get stung for miscellaneous scratches and dings when you hand the car back. Win win. :money:

    Lings Cars apparentlt have good deals.

    Though personally i find leasing a car pointless unless you are doing it via your business.

    Yes

    Not as cheap as it once was.

    Go for the deal and not the car.

    Do your sums to compare other deals, pcp, bank loan, pre-reg etc versus leasing.

    I currently lease a Citroen C1 from Lings and (as I've said previously) I'm very happy with the whole deal. I'm two years into a three year lease and won't hesitate to use them again.
  • It is for business use and will be funded by a car allowance provided by the employer.

    I will check out lings thanks

    I have no preference over cars just needs to be a family sized or este 5 door and preferably diesel engine, the Nissan Nuke seems much more reasonably priced than other more common cars. I am planning to read up on what car.

    Thanks for your input.

    Always go for the deal, and don't discount more expensive cars as there has been some stonking good deals in the past year, BMW, Mercedes, Skoda and VW have put various models on lease for very attractive rates.

    Win win if you're happy driving a clapped out shed around.

    You strike me as the kind of guy who parks his car on his lawn. Some people have more self respect than that.
