Try getting a copy of What Car, and looking at the section on new cars at the
back, (and the pages full of adverts just before these)
You'll find a lot of lease companies there advertising their deals.

| 2107.5 | Contrcat Hire list | YUPPY::ELLAWAY | Martin Ellaway@hhl | Fri Jun 25 1993 11:01 | 11 |

    This weeks A & M have a few pages on all the contrcat deals which
    include BMW select, Ford Options, Merc Finance/mileage agreemnts,
    peugeot passport, Rover select Finance, Vauxhall choices 123 and
    volkswagen solutions. Looking over them some say they don't include
    insurance but others don't state, could be worth a phone call though.

	VAG now have a Contract Lease scheme for company car drivers (especially
low company mileage ones) who wish to take the company's cash alternative and 
provide the car themselves.  I don't suppose other manufacturers will be far 
behind if it proves successfull.

That Vauxhall scheme is *NOT* cheap....you'd do better to finance a car 
yourself if you can afford it.

	I looked at these schemes, not just Vauxhalls, they all looked
	expensive, and you had to put a deposit down too!

|  | 	On an individual basis they might be expensive, but when were talking
about the amount of cars DIGITAL runs - we maybe pleasantly surprised !

| 2107.11 | There is more to the price than meets the eye! | CMOTEC::POWELL | Nostalgia isn't what it used to be, is it? | Thu Jul 01 1993 12:51 | 8 | 
|  | 
	Don't forget that the lease price from VAG, Vauxhall etc. may well
include more than just the cost of the car.  It might include servicing and/or
replacement car if "yours" is off the road for more than a specified period etc.
	Might not be so expensive in the long run!

| 2107.12 | Tax allowable expenses.... | YUPPY::MACMILLANA |  | Fri Jul 02 1993 13:31 | 5 | 
|  |     Don't forget also that the hire purchase or lease costs can be claimed
    as a tax allowable expense (prorated as per ratio business:private
    mileage)  Need to do some sums before discarding the options.
