Has anyone had any dealings with a company called Pickupsdirect (Autorama Company)?

I'm currently looking for a Navara on business lease and they have come back with the best price, but our company has never used them before and none of the people i've spoke to have ever heard of them.

Nissan themselves have obviously done the sales talk and said we should be careful using a non-approved Nissan Lease company as Nissan UK apparently do not let anyone outside the Nissan Dealership lease trucks direct, so potentially our Company could be the 2nd Owner, etc, etc.

Any help or advice will be appreciated.

Thanks

Ashley

Never heard of the people you refer to, but did have to comment on this bit:
What a crock of brown, smelly stuff! You will not be the registered keeper of a vehicle leased on Contract Hire or Operating Lease anyway. The lease company buy and own the vehicle and you lease it. If you use a finance lease, it could be registered to you or the finance co.

Nissan sell cars and commercials to various lease companies almost every day of the week and I have no doubt that they would like to sell them some more.

Nissan Finance or whatever the in-house lease co is called would like to provide finance to customers because that is what they are targetted to do, but the financing is just another product for you to buy or not.

That was my thoughts as well and after talking to PUTD they deal directly with Nissan and they said the vehicle delivery is sometimes direct from my local dealership depending on where I am and where the vehicle needs to be delivered.

It's a shame local delaerships can't match the quotes given by these lease companies they are about £35 per month out which is about £1k over a 3 year deal.
