    going to look at a bran spanking new A4 estate 3.0tdi quattro

    A4 3.0 tdi quattro - good car or bad car ?

    They seems to have lengthened the wheelbase compared
    to the last time I looked at the A4 estates.

            Look at www.honestjohn.co.uk

            They do a car by car breakdown telling you what's good and bad.
            Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

            I preferred version 1!

                I think I need a new car soon - is buying the best option, I know another contractor who always went for lease contracts, he said its best for him as he doesn't have to worry about fixing/maintainance, plus the tax relief, but I was doubtful of the advantages.. any ideas?

                  I'd be interested in peoples views on leasing through company also. Are the tax disadvantages still the same when you are on such a low wage? (or does it make it worse???)
