If you opt out of the company scheme they usually give you a annual sum and it can actually be more beneficial financially due to current company car tax rules but it’s worth checking with your scheme, this is especially the case if your in the 40% bracket. If you do opt out you will qualify as a private buyer and be eligible for all the affinity/retail discounts. You also have the option of keeping the car...the T5 hybrid would be a great choice assuming the price isn’t really high as current T8 hybrids are really priced for senior executives and not middle management.
