But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment

Remember contract hire is not buying outright, its about £480 per month on a Cayman with a good deal. It's also smarter than outright purchase when you consider depreciation.Comment

All in all I worked it out at 10k for the car and insurance for one year, which I think is reasonable for a Cayman straight from the factory, no?
Contract hire is definitely the way forward in my eyes.Comment

It is with many cars, but a porsche doesn't depreciate like most cars, if it's properly specced anyway. All contract deals on Porsche will be worse than the 2/3 year depreciation hit.The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

PS. Have you decided which car you are going to "invest" your life savings on, yet?
£35K will get you something decent I'm sure.

If you bought it, it would cost you more to sell and switch to another brand new car when you have had enough of it I reckon. With contract hire you can order a new car at the end of the contract with a phone call.Comment
