    Ignore the posters banging on about depreciating assets etc....no point being the richest contractor in the graveyard!
    I'd argue you are not a proper contractor if you have to take finance out for just an Aston....

      Depends how cheap the finance is. If you want a brand new car it can be stupidly cheaper to take the finance after a broker has discounted the price...

                    What's wrong with that? I might be a contractor but I'm still a Yorkshire guy so tight as a gnats chuff!

                      And he will be retired, sipping fine wine at 50, and you will be working another 20 years longer, as you pissed the money up the wall. The good times/IT contracting isn't going to last forever, far from it.
