[Pep]

Just had a quick look out of interest:

£255 a month + VAT for a 2 year lease on a 200 Cup!

Could be VERY interested in this I think when I sell the Teg!

RS Twingo is £249 a month for comparrison.

Is leasing basically renting?

 

[Pep]

Yeah I guess.

You tie in for a certain period, then at the end of it you can either hand the car back and walk away, start a new lease or buy the car from the company.

 

[DrR]

Would it not be cheaper to buy? £6k on renting acar for 2 years, bugger that.

cant say id ever do this, seems like a bit of a waste to me. up to you tho mate, bonus of getting the 'new' RS in 2 years could be gd!

 

[DrR]

I'd buy a year old one, keep for 2 years then sell. It wouldn't loose £6k in that time and you'd still have warrenty.

 

[Pep]

I know what you mean, just a lot cheaper than I thought considering a FRS, R26 etc leased through the same company are all £600+ a month!

Although just specced a white cup with recaros and aircon and it bumps it up to £320 a month...

 

[MikeLYR27]

wow, thats a lot for an r26! does seem cheap by comparison. id do it if it was for a company but for personal use i wouldnt.

 

[Pep]

I'd put it through a compnay anyways, so would all be without VAT.

I'd just give myself a paycut to pay for it, so would save on Tax and NI too.

Just playing with ideas though.

 

[MikeLYR27]

could be a worth while idea then!
