Company Car
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?

I opted out of company cars a few years back. I use my ZT CDTi for business and get paid 31p a mile for business use. The tax man then pays me another 4p at the end of the year.
I get to drive the car I want and it makes good economical sense too.

And you get something out of the tax man (boo hiss) which makes a very pleasant change
