I was wondering about lease purchase.
Any ideas on that? I believe you only pay a little more than hire purchase and then the van is yours at the end or have I got it wrong. (Quite likely been a long day)
A manager is generally someone who has been promoted to the position by someone else who didn't see them as a threat.
Hence all people are promoted to the level of their incompetence

I've just got a brand new transit on a lease. Best thing I've done. 100% deductible and if I do want to buy it then I still get a good deal if not they give me market price so I still may have some money in it to cover a deposit. I leased at deposit of 825 and then 47 payments of 275 or I could buy at deposit of 2k and then 420 a month

so your paying £13750 to hire a van? i bought my van brand new for less than that, no finance cash purchase

not bad considering the van is worth 25k, im not sure if you can work it out or if your just sitting there thinking your clever but ill explain a slight bit for you.

i aint stupid, ive got a brain that works and the sums add up for me plus im not driving round in a piece of crap that can break down at any minute and cost a fortune, oh and if anything happens in the next 3 years then i give it back they fix it and i get a courtesy van whilst its in. Oh and also after 4 years i can buy it for a damn site less than most people can get a 4 year old limited edition transit van.

If he buys the van it will cost him £21740 over 4 years
If leases the van it costs £13750 over 4 years.

By leasing he saves £7990
Then 4 years servicing and consumables lets say another £1000.
Then its 100% tax deductible a owned new van is considered an asset so you can only claim for
a percentage.
At the end of 4 years is he any worse off.

 

Well done mate, someone else who understands the concept of saving and making money, oh and by the way the servicing is now every two years and only costs £100 per service :) . in the near 3 years i had my last one i probably spent £500 tops, that was 3 years old when i bought it, i dont expect any costs like that this time as i look after my vehicles and so do the lads
