Considering a car lease....

[Wilmslow]

I am likely to be here for the next 3 years or so, so looking at my travel options, which is driving, as no other option to get here.

High mileage - around 40K per year.

Got my focus 2 years ago now, like it a lot, comfortable, but, about to need to spend £700 on tyres, service etc.

Can sell to webuyanycar for £6500, and lease a diesel Astra for around £200 per month for the next 3 years, unlimited miles. Used car with 15K's on.

Debating what to do:

1. Keep Focus until it dies, and when it does die, consider leasing then
2. Sell, bank the money and lease for the cheap as chips deal, if I can hack an Astra. Option to buy at end of the lease meaning will probably pick up the 200K miles car for nothing.

Easy option is to keep my Focus, but a lot of depreciation will be had there.....

"Can sell to webuyanycar for £6500"

Then your car is worth about 8500 to 10000 so why give it away?

Ps is a focus worth 10,000? I'm guessing it's a sporty model or something. Or this is all made up.

You've already done most of the depreciation on the Focus by buying it new. Run it til it's dead.

What does the £200 a month actually cover? How much extra are you going to have to fork out over the three years - in two years time, are you going to find yourself in the same position but with an Astra rather than a Focus?

Good point - Focus is the superior stead pof choice
