Should I repair a lease car now, or wait until nearer the return date?

    Seems an odd set up to me, what happens if you leave?

    Anyway, back on topic
    Here's an idea of what damage and wear and tear is acceptable when you come to return it

    Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.

    As a slight aside, are there any companies out there that you can take a car to for a fair BVRLA approved appraisal prior to handing it back?

    At least the part that's down to prier should have something done to it. Primer is more or less (depending on type) porous and there are edges to the topcoat where it's been cut through. That's just asking for moisture to get in there and start either rusting or peeling the top coat if you leave it too long. You might be lucky but, if not and rust sets in, it'll get rapidly more expensive to put right!

    I was under the impression that a company has to be VAT registered if the turnover exceeds £82k.

    If that's correct then somehow your boss is paying himself, you, a fair few other staff and a small fleet of cars on a shoestring.

    As a matter of fact, I sense something dark here.
