Company Car

dom · 8th November 2006, 19:36

I have been offered a company car at work, i have got £14,000 to spend, i know this is a bit of subject, but i thought i would see what sort of cars you guys might drive as company cars or second cars...

Dom I have a Car and Mileage allowance depending on the Journey it will be either

my 75 CDT or the 190 ZTT and from tomorrow the ZT260

I gave up company cars years ago the tax implications make them very unattractive now.

Does your company scheme dictate age of vehicle fully expensed etc or can you buy a modern Classic one site I was at a colleague had a Lotus! for the weekend and used a shed for the business trips

Great idea Zeb.

You would get a top notch one for that and the fuel costs are low and they are the bestest cars ever.

Hold on, for £14k you can buy a brand new, unregistered one with 3 year warranty from a main rover dealer. Why worry about ebay and AA inspections?

The Tourer is exactly £14k:

The saloon is £13k:

You could always get an AA mechanical report done before committing yourself to buy.

Was't there somthing funny about theses 2 cars said over on .org a few weeks ago ? cant remember what is was

The two "new" Rover on E-Bay have been on and off for some months and they are Japanese spec. , nothing wrong with that except the Radio and remote key operation.
