just pay £250 + a month forever and you always have a fairly new car forever :-)

Just looked at the pics my dealer sent me. Mines on Michelin too.

Brill looking car by the way!

They work hard, do not waste money on smoking, and drinking, or other stupid things, oh and have no kids :)

I don't drink or smoke, but I have kids. I don't work anymore, after more than 40 years I found out
that it's not really my thing, so I gave up a few years ago :rolleyes:
But I/we do buy stupid things such as new cars, although not too often :teeth_smile:

Pretty sure you won't get any of the new Volvo, SPA, CMA models for £250 a month!

Mine is £650 inc VAT, maintenance and 15k miles a year

Indeed, although we make up for the lack of smoking with Gin and 4 trips abroad per year! :tounge_smile:

It's really worth shopping around when leasing - my prices ranged from £370pm to £450pm for the same spec and 12+48. Over 4 years that's over £3.5k

That’s pretty crap isn’t it. I bought my xc90 outright with cash (I buy everything cash other than house). If I loose my job etc fine, I have no real outgoings.

To have a car etc hanging round your neck 3 years would not be for me lol!
