    If I was only doing 2,000 miles a year and wanted something fancy, I'd be looking at something about 10-15 years old that's regarded as a 'gas guzzler' - fuel costs will be nothing compared to what you save on depreciation/leasing.

    As an extreme example, you can lease a Jaguar XJ for about £500/month, or you can buy a 10 year old one outright for £7k, or 14 months payments.

    Even more extreme, you can get a 1998 Rolls Royce Silver Spurr (6.8lire) for £5k, though the maintenance for it will be eye watering.
  • You want a lease a car that you will only do average 166 miles a month?

    You can hire prestige cars, may be cheaper.

    Addison Lee and Uber offer decent prestige cars for not much more than their normal service.
    If your in an area with coverage.

    Or try one of the supercar/prestige car clubs.

    I got mine through lease4less.org.uk and spoke to Tony there. Cant fault mine, delivery date got pushed back 3-4 months at one point but after some messing around their end they managed to get it me less than a week after the original delivery date.

  • Yeah i also tried to get a low mileage <5,000 a year car - didn't go very well.

    FYI Ive heard lingscars has been literally blacklisted from all major funders (so a competitor said...) so I dunno...just dont trust em!

    Goodluck (and lemme know if you find a company that does do sub 5k)
