Always surprises me how cheap these are. Should be a fun little pocket rocket!

Only 6k miles a year though, most will soon get through that.

5/ 6k miles a year is enough for most people if you're not using it to commute in.

Looks an exceptional deal!

Vehicle Savers have the save deal but for the Premium Plus spec level which includes nav, panoramic sunroof etc. I'm very tempted on this one... Only thing putting me off the the engine which is apparently a bit rough.

I wish i hade the kahunas to flog my car and use the equity to get something like this, i probably have about 4 years worth of top notch car lease payments tied up in the Vrs.

am i correctly understanding that you believe you have 4 years worth of lease payments as equity in your current car? Also when you say VRS is this a Skoda?

If anyone's in the market for a CR-V or Civic, V4B have insane rates on them at present. Business and Personal.

You're welcome.

For an EX Auto model on a 3 + 23, 10k £348 is very good value indeed.

If I was in the market for a 4 x 4, that might have just had my business. Very good cars, nice to drive. Slow and uneconomical engine mind; but lovely place to be.

Uneconomical indeed, and spot on with the figures. Same for me if I were in the market for one.

Yes I probably have about 14k tied up in my car.

If I were you, call or email for a quote. Rates are quite strong. No brainer really for you.

Does anyone have much experience getting a personal lease whilst self employed?

What do you want to know?

It is as simple as just putting your employment details as self employed. So long as the company isn't having major problems, you'll be accepted.

Worth knowing though, you may be able to get a better deal putting it through the business. If you don't want to pay the company car tax, a lot of people just put it through their private bank details so no record of the company involvement what so ever.

Isn't that a little...fraudulent?

I'd argue not. For many self employed people, it all comes out of the same pot of money. I'm sure there are ST's who only have a personal bank account.

Guess it's open to interpretation

Anyone know anything about getting a business car lease deal on a new business?

I run a tech startup, which made a loss in the first year, and Ford business finance just turned me down on a 3+24 Ford Fiesta 125 Ecoboost Titanium (£137+VAT).

The business will be profitable next year, and has enough cash in the bank, but there wasn't any room for negotiation.

I'd say it's difficult as they can only act on the accounts for the company at the time of application.
Can you not submit the application personally and pay yourself a car allowance?

£30 better? Lower deposit, higher monthly.

http://www.gateway2lease.com/z_ford_fiesta_1.0125p...

I thought long and hard about it and went for the ST instead, all because I couldn't decide.

That's the plan at the moment - would have saved me some money doing it through the business, but not that much.

Cheers! I feel the same and as it's for the mrs I am going for the Zetec-S as it's more economical. I test drove one Friday and I was very impressed with the 1.0l engine.

Found this company here: http://www.ledencarleasing.co.uk/fiesta-hatchback-...

I can sign in person to eliminate the 2 week cooling off period as well.

Edit: Also found the Zetec S special edition but can't find much about the company. http://www.smartlease.co.uk/car-leasing-ford-fiest...

In case anyone else has a new business, Gateway2Lease just told me that the financing firm won't consider any business that hasn't been trading for at least two years.
