Does anyone else feel my pain?

I have a lease car through work that is currently 18 months old. Once it is 2.5 years old I can order my new car, when it is 3 years old I'll recieve my new car.

Now this isn't so bad but all this time you can logon to the lease scheme and check out faster cars that are available now for less money (e.g. the New Focus ST)!!

It's bringing me down !!

Never mind eh

My heart really bleeds for you.

I used to be in company car schemes and it's such a nightmare isn't it when you don't have to pay for tyres or tax or servicing?

especially as they give you an interest free loan / loop hole (rubarb rubarb) and you don't pay the tax (only pay tax on fuel card)

But I want a faster car now lol all the hatchbacks are 200-230bhp instead of my 150
