Leasehire always seesm expensive unless it's a heavily depreciating car, or it's something cheap. IMHO buy a 1 year old used model for maximum VFM.

Either/Or. Makes no odds really. I would have thought it makes less sense to get one through the company though as I'll be hit with a massive benefit in kind?

is it private or through your Ltd Co ?

Hi All,
I'm interested in finally getting a decent car. Considering something along the lines of a Chrysler 300C Touring or maybe a BMW 530d Touring.

Does anyone have any experience of car leasing companies? Is it worth it, or would you just buy one?

Cheers...

Tom

Eh? your choices seem a little erratic, one is a thoroughbred that is renowned for refinement and poise the other is a yank tank built by hillbilly’s that will depreciate faster than Baghdad apartment, I'm no BMW fan but I know which I'd choose if I was buying or leasing.

just buy, it's not worth it to either lease or buy through the company...
