My 07 Ed30 is on 113K, so not far off the 12K pa average.
My commute is 30 miles a day, so 7000 a year just to and from work. I'm not sure where the other 5000 goes tbh, but it just does!
The leasing packages are engineered to suck people in, incentivise for keeping the miles low, and just generally play on the mind. "Oh it'll be fine, I'm sure we won't do more than 6000pa". Yeah right. I'm sure you won't put more than £500 on your credit card each month either
It's yet another finance bubble waiting to burst. Humans learn absolutely nothing it seems, even more so in todays' status and ego driven culture. Yeah we can afford £500 a month a diesel Q5. Do we need it? No. Will it look better on the drive next to the neighbours 4 year old Qashqai? Hell yeah. Done, sign on the dotted line.
