New plate ‘syndrome’ isn’t about things looking new and shiny or showing off — it’s the simple fact that buying an 08 car in August is going to lose you money when you come to sell (or hand back, if you do leases).

Can you explain how it makes a difference to lease cars when there is no part exchange value since you are just handing the car back to lease another 1. The only way I can see it affecting lease cars are if you lease 1 in September it will cost less on the lease cost.
