I've got the oppertunity to get a company car - I've got two options.
Option 1 -- for the typical lex Lease which would be pretty much the car of my choice under insurance group 15 and must have 4 doors - this encompasses most cars up to about 30k under group 15 If I went for this option I was thinking of either a a class with the AMG body kit, A4 s line, Merc C class or a completely bog standard 5 series
Option 2 -- cash for cars, after tax I'd have about 4k per year extra to buy and maintain a car, the car can be kept for 4 years (so effectively 16k towards a new car) obviously I'll need to pick up all insurance and maintenance this way. However I reccon I should only average around 10k per year - so if I sold my car including the cash for cars value I should technically have 28k straight of the bat. Now if I put down 3k or so down of my own money I could have an m135i or golf R either that or I could go the other way and buy a brand new polo for £11k and pocket the cash !!
This would be my first experiance etc in the company car world so anyone who can advise if there work has a simelar policy please feel free to comment.
