Obviously, the same can be said about you, too, given that they didn't appear to want to sell you a car either.....

Ah but they weren't getting any money off me :-)

Mind you, not fitting Volvo's brand image is hardly a bad thing is it heh...

That's the worst case of overcommering I've seen this week ;)

OK, I have an answer, found as I trawled their website.

It appears they're giving 5 day 'VIP Test Drives' to fleet managers.

So I've requested one.

This could be interesting.

And at the end of the loan, you're left with an unfinanced asset.

Aye, fitted prices are generally up to about 900 quid or so (I'm going using picked out of thin air figures, loosely based on what people have said clutches on vans that needed the flywheel doing as well, have cost).

No s*it, Sherlock.

Aye, an unfinanced asset which will have, given your usual rate of miles, starship mileage under it.

Meanwhile, you could have had the benefit of something you'd never need to MOT or shell out for in terms of repair bills, and which you'd have had from *new*.

-- JackH

If having something from new is a goal then you need to ensure you can then buy the car from the lease company and enjoy some of the value you've put into it. I know I'd work it that way (2 yrs on company, buy it out knowing I'm the only one who's used it and that it's been serviced right, run it 2-3 yrs privately then sell it on.)
