    .... so what are you getting next Pete?!
    
    Ray.

    That's a secret at the moment ........;-) Anyhow judging by the
    replies that have been "flooding" in  ...... I won't be getting
    anything! (sob,sob)
    

In the same spirit as .0 is anyone interested in taking
over the lease for a Red XR2 F reg (35,000 miles).. the lease
has until March next year to run  (The car is in Newbury)

(It costs  2000/0 )

    The Price in .0 was for Supplement Holders, it should have read
    
    		4164/1300  as it does in Car Fleet.
    
    Sorry if this caused any confusion.

 There doesn't seem to be an appropriate note for this and It doesn seem worth
starting a new note so I thought this might be good place for it.

 As of tomorrow the car I am currently using will be available for takeover:

 Vaxhaul Cavalier 2.0i L

 Driver Price     258 pounds.

 I took it over after my GT Turbo was stolen last year and have to admit that,
although it feels a bit stodgy to me it's a good car.

 The car is due for a service in 200 miles ( 18000 ) and has no major problems.

 There is a vibration through the steering wheel at motoway speeds, I tried to
eliminate that by having the wheels ballanced. Unfortunately this did not work
because the wheels appear to be not quite round ! ( the chap who was ballancing
the wheels told me that this is a common problem with Vaxhauls. ) I have
approached Vaxhaul about this but as it is not a major problem I decided to get
it checked at the next service ( that would have been next week ) but as my
new lease is arriving a week early I wont be able to.

re .16; 

I read .15 as offering his car for a take-over, and not asking to get one.
Or maybe not.


re .16; that's good forward planning, innit? Get a new car mid-May, and
final working day August 1st.... Or is she leaving of her volition?

(And to absolutley clear, I am not getting at the employee at all, 
but "the management's forward planning")

Peter.

Peter, someone who worked for me got their notice within a week of getting their
new car. I'd be happy to meet you and explain how this can happen despite good
planning on behalf of the manager.

    Well, you got tired of that prett quickly Tony :-)
    
    Royston

    You'll have to towel-dry from now on ;-)
    
    M.

    I assume you can only take over someone else's car when your lease
    comes to an end?
    
    I guess there's no way of taking someone elses car over and 'handing'
    yours back?
    
    Wishful thinking,
    
    Greg

    �How does it work?
    
    In the past few years it has works like this.
    
    If you want to change your car you have to first find someone
    to take it over. You can then takeover a car that is already available.
    
    If there is a more expensive car for takeover you may be able to swap 
    for it (esp if its in the same cost cenre) so that the expense is less
    for the cost centre (who has to continue for the lease).
    
    The bottom line is that we are asked to choose a car that is suitable
    for the next 'n' years. So its our short sightedness if we need a
    change in mid-lease. I guess the exception here was when they extended
    the standard lease period from 30 to 36 months.
    
    Royston

    So, why are you changing it Tony ? Are you not happy with it ?
    
    Terry

    Its a long story and some personal reasons for considering changing it.
    
    Cheers,
    -Tony

>>    Its a long story and some personal reasons for considering changing it.
        
        Your manager can allow you to change cars if you there has
        been a significant change in your personal circumstances. I
        swapped my Pug 205 on the grounds that it wasn't a suitable
        family car (it didn't need to be when I ordered it). Of
        course, this is at your manager's discretion.

    Anybody have an Astra GSI they want to get shot of ?

I have a Nova GSi you can have :-)

    Sorry Jane, tad too small for me!

    I am in urgent need of a replacement vehicle.
    
    If anybody has anything for takeover could you please mail me, I have a
    selection critera (such as the size of the car) but I will consider
    anything.
    
    Tony Dallison @NEW or NEWOA::DALLISON

    At the risk of stating the obvious... VTX Car fleet section has a big
    list of cars available for takeover, some at very good prices.  I've
    just got my Astra GSi :-)))
    
    tp

    So you're the swine who beat me to it!
    
    The VTX list is comprehensive but all the cars that fit my requirements
    are gone by the time I mail Sally (even though they then appear the 
    following weak!).
    
    -Tony

    
    
    I am about to relinquish a much appreciated and enjoyed MR2 T-Bar as it has
    come up to end of its lease. In my next move I would like to accomplish
    two things; firstly to flick the proverbial birdie at car fleet as I
    would rather have daily sessions of red-hot herbal enema than drive a
    Vauxhall (no, I am neither French, nor a snob), and secondly, there may
    be some poor blighter who has been told that he/she cannot give up
    their car unless they find a person to takeover their car.
    
    My request is for a similar car. Ones that I have been looking at are the
    MR2 GT-TBAR, Mazda MX6, or Honda Prelude, or like.
    
    If anyone has any interesting offers, I would be glad to hear from
    them. Contact me on any of the following:
    
    	Nader Elm @HHL 		ALL-IN-BITS
    	YUPPY::ELMN    		VAX-SNAIL

    Regards,
    
    Nader.
                               

    It might be worth phoning car fleet as they often know about cars that
    will be able soon and that don't yet appear on the VTX list.
    This has worked for other people.

    Well the agro is over, I am now the happy owner of a Renault 19 16v
    (new shape).
    
    The Renault feels more responsive steering and power wise but the
    Renault has a crap stereo system. I never realised how sluggish and
    heavy the MR2 was but it really hits home when you drive a car with a
    similar power output (+/- 20 bhp).
    
    Anyway, over all I is a happy chappy.

    I'd be interested in taking over one of the following types of car if
    anyone is thinking about putting theirs up for takeover.  Mail me if
    you do.

    Renault 19 16V
    Calibra *
    or similar.

    to me or those that do have already been snatched!

Why take over a Calibra? Why not just order one from the PCL?
If I put mine up for takeover it would be more expensive than
ordering from new.




	Ian

    Due to many, many circumstances, I do not feel I can commit to 3 years
    on the scheme.  Taking over a car for 12-18 months is much less of a 
    commitment.
    
    Cheers,
    
    Kris

My Nova GSI will be available for takeover, the date at the moment is likely to 
be 18th October.

It is a 0 rated car, currently in the 1400-2000 tax bracket and will fall into
the �11,000 tax bracket. 


Added extras are:

	electric ariel
	System 3 alarm and remote locking (single unit) 

I got the car on 3-3-92 so it has about 18 months and 24000 miles to run.

    
    O.K. Things are getting pretty desperate now as the time runs out on my
    beloved MR2. Not to be outdone, I set about doing calculations for
    opting out of the scheme and getting my own motor. Being a young
    pipsqueak living in London with on-road parking and three points to
    boot, reccceiving the insurance premium quote was about as comfortable
    as the aforementioned herbal enema (or driving a Vauxhall, depending on
    the season).
    
    I am now looking for anyone who wants to relinquish a Golf GTI (MK
    III). The three MK II's available on the takeover list are extremely
    attractive, but obviously would prefer the new model.
    
    My kingdom for a horse (of steel)...
    
    Nader. 

    
    I have a Renault 19 16V saloon, sports blue, 5 months old with 11,000
    miles on the clock if anyone is interested in taking it over as I would
    rather have a Frontera under the new scheme.
    The car is great very quick when driven hard (and handles well) and as 
    docile as a pussey-cat when driven gently round town, and returns around
    33 mpg it has been absolutely trouble free.

    I have`nt been on the moon for the last few years but I did`nt know
    that I could put my car up for take over. I thought those take over
    cars were left overs after people had left the company.
    
    I have a Renault 19 16v white with full leather interior. 40k miles.
    Fast but well looked after. Still like it but need a bigger `un.

    �I did`nt know that I could put my car up for take over.
    
    The rules when you order a car is that you should choose one that
    will be suitable for the length of the lease. The only reasons you
    can put it up for take over is if you have unforseen circumstances
    (ie you can't afford it / family expands and you need a bigger).
    I believe it is a local decision with your manager.

    various circumstance I am looking for someone to take over the lease.

    extras/electrics.  I have had the MR2 from new (K reg) and kept
    it in showroom condition, with regular valeting.  lease cost pa. #1750

Mike Iles @ UCG (781-1804)

    MIKE,
    
    THE NEW SCHEME OFFERS THIS FRONTERA AT �960.
    
    FRONTERA = �3760
    SIDE STEP= �  56
    BAR+LAMPS= �  94
               _____

    -ALLOWANCE �2950
               -----
    DRIVER
    PRICE      � 960.
    
    I HAVE JUST ORDERED THE 2.3TD WITH ALL THE ABOVE BITS ADDED + THE
    ALLOYS AT A DRIVER PRICE OF �989.
    
    COL.
      

The 1478 is cost to user on the old scheme, so you have to look at old
allowances/supplements....

Under level 8 there was none, so real cost was 1478 (You're getting a good deal!)

Level 8/9
---------
8/9 had an allowance of 1300 so cost to user was 1478-1300 = 178

8/9 now has an allowance of 3560 so cost to user is 3910-3560 = 350

Old lease better by 172

Level 10/11
-----------
10/11 had an allowance of 2200 so rebate to user = 2200 - 1478 = 722

10/11 now has an allowance of 4460 so rebate to user = 4460 - 3910 = 550

Old lease better by 172

-Mike-

    Sorry to be a bit of a downer on this one but when the old scheme was
    converted to the new scheme there was an imaginary �2950 added to each
    price.  So for example a car that cost �1000 on the old scheme would
    cost �3950 on the new scheme but there would be no change to your pay,
    just the numbers change.  Hence your �1478 will become �4428 or
    thereabouts to a level 7 or below on the new scheme.  The old scheme
    doesn't exist anymore so you can't have the old price, unless you know
    something that we don't :-)
    
    This is why cars on the takeover list are appearing at higher than new
    prices (e.g. the Astra GSi).
    
    tp

I think the figure of 2950 should be 3400, which makes matters worse!

However, the fact remains that above level 7, if you wanted a lease on a
Frontera 2.4I now, then it would cost you more than this is costing me.
In fact if it wasn't for overriding personal reasons, I'd be crazy to change
it. Why shouldn't I be able to transfer that cost as is?

So does anybody actually know what would happen?

It seems to me that if this car were to change hands to another individual
(above level 7) that none of the figures should change. I'd have to accept a
car under the new scheme, (and accept being worse off), but the overcompensation
I was receiving on the old scheme could be transfered to the new individual at
no cost to DEC - they are paying it if I don't change the vehicle!

If he were charged the 'new' lease rate for an old lease vehicle, then DEC is
suddenly making more money out of the lease of that vehicle. (Heh that might
be a way to improve the quarters figures!

-Mike-

    Mike,
    
    A quick attempt to answer.
    
    The 'New' supplements for all levels were revised under the new scheme,
    against the target Vauxhall for that level.
    
    It was stated, that until your circumstances change, i.e, change car,
    swop car, or change level, then you will pay the same and Digital will
    match any difference that there may be.!
    
    So, unless you want to pay more money, keep youir existing car.!

    In June 1993 I ordered a Mondeo Estate 1.8 GLX that was duly delivered
    on August 27th. Since then I've covered most of the 24,400 miles I've
    travelled in it on my own. I've decided that I can no longer justify 
    the cost to me of such a luxury ( I do zero business miles )  so it's 
    available for takeover or swapping for another, cheaper, car.
    
    The car was obtained before the changes were made to the car scheme
    last year and costs me an additional 575 pounds per year approx. For
    tax purposes the car is valued at approx. 15,500.
    
    The colour, is Alberto Green and an ABS is fitted.

    Why do specifically want to take over a lease car ?
    
    If you want a cheap diesel estate you can't beat the lease cost of
    a diesel Astra Merit estate from the preferred list.

    Does anyone out there know of a 3 series BMW that will be comming up
    for take over?
    
    Cheers,
    
    Simon

    There will be a metallic green "K" reg. 316i saloon coming back to the fleet
    in September/October.  The driver is Keith Deighton who is leaving the
    company.  It has a dent in the front n/s wing but I doubt it will be
    fixed by time it is returned.
    

    >> .....who is leaving the company.......
    
    >> ......has a dent in the front n/s wing........
    
    
    	Are the two connected? ;-]

What price are we talking?

    
    Anyone know of an Astra GSI coming up for takeover? Having had mine
    stolen, I'd really like another one. 
    
    Mail me or reply here, thanks.
    
    
    Gerry.
    
    

    
    � Having had mine stolen, I'd really like another one. 
        
        You enjoyed having it stolen?????!

>    � Having had mine stolen, I'd really like another one. 
        
>        You enjoyed having it stolen?????!


eh?

    >>>        You enjoyed having it stolen?????!
    
    >		eh?
    
    Meaning, why not get a car less attractive to thieves. 
    
    Huw. 

        Exactly!  Thanks Huw.
        
        By saying "Having had mine stolen, I'd really like another one" 
        the author meant that he'd like another car to replace the one 
        he has unfortunately lost.  However the sentence could be
        interpretted as "I'd really like another one, because they get
        stolen".
        
        I was try to imply (to humourous effect) that the author
        intended the alternative meaning.  Of couse, if you have
        to explain it the whole thing goes down like a Pb balloon.
        
        Ian.

I get it now - thanks!

    
    errrr, whats a Pb balloon ??

    I have an Omega Elite Estate TD, metallic velvet green, on a 2 year
    lease from October 94, lease cost c 5550. Despite rave reviews for 
    the BMW sourced diesel, it doesn`t suit me. I only get 30mpg - it 
    must be the way I drive. If you have a car coming to the end of its 
    lease, I`d like to swap so that I can get a 3 litre Elite. In return,
    I offer 500 pounds of Thomas Cook vouchers, or possibly cash. Please 
    call me, Rhodri Jenkins, on 830 4305, or leave message on 0860 646080.

Are you sure it's available for takeover?  Car Fleet told me there were no
take-overs this quarter - as an experiment, they are simply turning the cars in
to the lease company and presumably paying the penalty for early return.

T

    Well I've just spoken to car fleet and you're right, they say that
    anyone who rings will be told there are no cars available for
    takeover, however....
    
    car fleet have also just told me that my car IS available for takeover
    
    It has been agreed by my manager, HR and car fleet that my car is
    available for takeover and if anyone is interested please contact me
    directly as car fleet seem confused to say the least!
