There was a time when i was thinking about leasing last year but it was looking around the £300 plus vat mark

Glad i resisted the urge, its insanity really to pay that much to rent something

mines nowhere near that much and its  the highest payload connect with all the extras(limited) £215 including VAT a month(less than a days earnings a month)

its worth it just for the sheer joy of no MOTS for 3 years and no breakdowns!and of course  driving about in a nice shiny new van with air con and heated seats....its great...

just put some customers prices up to cover the rental...thats what i did.....i have no regrets and i still love driving it....it still puts a grin on my face and i often get comments off customers of how smart and professional it looks.... :)

3 months rental so just over £600 (5 year lease)with the option to pay the balloon at the end of the contract and keep the van,hand it back and get another one or sell it myself and pay the balloon payment(7k)

If someone doesn’t want to pay 11-60 odd a day in expenses I don’t think they want to be self employed tbh.

If you have a balloon of 7k and you buy something like a Vivaro or traffic you’ll have to cough up money,they drop like a tarts skirt in price.

Don't they go up?.
The tarts' skirts, I mean. Skirt up and drawers down, innit?
But it's been a long time for me.
I never had the legs for skirts, either  :-[.

According to those figures it will cost Daz £20,545 in total if he chooses to pay the balloon payment and keep the van. (Probably best if he keeps it).

Buying a depreciating asset is never the smartest move, even worse when you add on finance interest and fees that leasing has.

Lease a van by all means, but dont pretend its the smartest move.

I told you, He can’t resist mentioning the heated seats.

Daz, I’ve had a transit custom for years with heated seats etc etc, woopy doo, stop going out your way to mention your heated seats 😂

You literally spend every opportunity possible to mention your vans heated seats!

I agree with Adam though, I hate the thought of shelling out 300 odd a month for something I don’t own. So I bought a 2 1/2 year old transit custom limited outright. Saved a fortune and no monthly payments what so ever. Oh, forgot to mention, it’s also got HEATED SEATS. 

The way I see it, I will sell it for ££££ and put that money towards another (newer) second hand transit custom. So basically the initial purchase it a bit of a hit, but then you own a van outright, and can sell it at any time you like, putting that money into a another van that you will own outright. For me, as a sole trader it’s been the best decision. I hate monthly bills.

Totally agree, that's how I buy my Van's.
Also hate monthly Bill's, I'm on a mission this year to reduce our total household and business monthly expenses to the absolute bare minimum.
I recently wiped out nearly all our savings to pay off loans, credit cards, vehicle insurances, taxes, basically anything that can be paid in full, to reduce our 15 monthly direct debits down to 7.
Astonishing it all amounted to £1449 a month, money that has now been diverted to our savings account on top of what we were already saving.
In theory we could completely live off the missus earnings now and save every penny I earn.
Which in theory means the amount we save each year I could easily buy a brand new van outright every year!

Were the same Chris, able to save so much more as we have very few direct debits and no debt, other than mortgage. We’re not ‘rich’ although to be fair, we are in one sense of the word, I’ve seen people in poverty and feel very blessed that’s for sure!

Daz, your a bachelor, so for you maybe things are different. But when you’ve got a mortgage etc, you don’t want loads of extra monthly payments coming out. We prefer to save so we can go on nice  holidays - without debt. Buy nice things - without using a credit card etc.

I’ve not always been like this, when I was young I got into debt, had a car on a loan, hated the way I was living. Never owned anything and felt stressed at times trying to pay things off.

All that’s changed now, and life is much more fun.

Circumstances are the deciding factor, but for you Daz, renting a tent in the middle of a rough estate, means you’ve got a lot more disposable income. 😜
