It would appear you can if you are a footballer. I tried to explain to the Mercedes salesman that I was and not to be deceived by my 40 year old looks.

So ironically the rich kids getting paid loads have to pay peanuts for their cars !

My son was at the West Ham United academy until a little while ago. Some of the lease offers posted on the notice board for players and staff were off the scale cheap .

The difference is I have heard of Alonso and you won't have heard of these kids ! I am not talking Premier league. In fact I am not even sure if they are even in one.....(being slightly tongue on cheek).

This isnt news is it? Been going for years for Footballers, Popstars & other `Celebs`.

Even RAC employees, when they were owned by Santander or whoever did cheap lease deals for patrolmen & other staff on the Honda range.

Its the same as the gift bag from The Oscars, apparently the contents are worth thousands!!

They are often referred to as KOLs (Key Opinion Leaders).

Many companies in many industries offer significant discounts to KOLs, classified internally as marketing expenditure.
The idea being that if KOLs try something, like it and tell people / are seen using, then many other people buy into the Brand, either now or soon.

Not surprised that car companies choose footballers.

You might have should you support the team they play for. A bit like Kevin Magnason, who outside of the hardcore F1 fan circle could recognise him or have even heard of him.

Yet his entire career has been effectively bankrolled by one of europes largest clothing suppliers.

It's simple marketing and on its most basic level is no move surprising than any celebrity being given a fancy handbag to carry to a film premier.

I would assume the logic is that fans will see the morons driving these cars and will then want to buy them?!! So kind of a loss leader?
