Lease New and Save Repair Costs

Filed under: General — admin @ 6:09 am

Many choose to buy new cars because they just do not like the thought of dealing with faults on their vehicles and that cost of a new car is peace of mind in th repair department. However new cars require a lot of investment, so one way fo keeping more money on the bank is by leasing the car rather than buying outright.
In most cases leasing a vehicle in the long term is more expensive than buying outright, based on the conditions of the contract and resale values. But a huge benefit is being able to budget for your car. In better words, the price you pay per month should be the total cost (apart from insurance tax and fuel), there should be no repair costs as it is covered by warranties, and of course it is very likely there will be no faults.
But if you want to budget month to month rather than total up the toal costs at the end of the contract hire period, then this could be an option to keep you from under the bonnet for ever. If you are self employed of a business owner, then things could be better.
As a company car you can claim half your vat back and set your monthly contract hire agreement as a business expense, keeping more costs down, but be aware, company cars require you to show the benefit in kinds, so you can pat company car tax.

Some people have older cars and never have any bother, but there are some who just don’t want the bother of repairing motor cars anymore, so if this is you and don’t have the capital to buy outright, you want to research car lease options, to see if this could be a solution to suit your needs and wants.
