Personal leasing help!

I'm moving out of London to a small town where I will need to drive for a couple of miles to the rail station to get the train into London for work.

I'm looking for a cheap but reliable solution. Is personal leasing worth considering? My budget is about £130pm. I would prefer a fairly new car but nothing too fancy.

    Couple of miles from the station, I would be walking it.
    Did you not post a similar thread recently?

    I will cycle it on nice days or even run back at the end of the day. I still need a motor for rainy days and my partner will need use of a car too

    Buy something cheap. Only neglected cars are unreliable. If you service them properly and dont skimp then you shouldnt have any major issues.

    Does your £130 include insurance, road tax, petrol and servicing?

  • Hi redcard - no the £130 is purely for the car, not all the extras.

    I agree getting a cheap second hand car. Theres no point paying finance on a car that isn't going to running for miles every day, its just not worth it. Buy a cheap second hand car thats been looked after, look after it yourself and save yourself some money.
