Is there anyone here who has their TVR on a personal contract hire or a personal contract purchase?

Can anyone recommend a good place to go for this and average costs?

I'm thinking perhaps more entry level like a Chim or Tamora.

I doubt you'll get a Chimaera in this way since they're not available new/nearly new. How about a proper loan where you own the car at the end?

As for leasing ... be sure that's what you want to do. Here is why:

Personally I'd buy something you can really afford, maybe an early Chimaera/Griffith? A loan over 3-4 years will get you into a nice one for around £300 per month. Plus you own it at the end and it will still be worth aroun £10k if you don't bend it/take care of it.

A Tamora will depreciate faster unless you're looking at an early model for around 25-28k. Again, I don't know how you'd be able lease such an older car (maybe someone knows a company who lease 2nd hand cars?).

targarama, you're probably right about my name, perhaps I should be known as "Will Buynomatterwot"

That's a good article, thanks for the link and it gives very good advice, in fact the very same advice I gave my wife when she bought her nearly new car back in Jan when I advised her to buy and ex-demo for cash which she has and saved a packet. It's well cared for, has low miles and all the goodies!

I guess I should work on gathering as large a deposit as possible and get a low rate loan for the difference.

Can I wait that long....... trouble is, I have no Will Power!

Give AUF a call as they have provided excellent service on all our leased cars in the past, they aren't the cheapest in terms of APR but give you a sensible final (baloon) price so your outstanding amount won't be so far from the actuals on something like a TVR.
