My old man has bought a 3 year old 307 turbo diesel with 25k on the clock that returns about 55mpg around town hammering it and its surprisingly quick.

You can put down £200 and then pay about 190 a month for one then hand the keys back after 3 years at my local, dealership although he payed 6500 for his outright which is good I reckon as that means no MOTs and the tax is cheap as well..

190 a month for 3 years plus £200? That's over 7k just to "hand the keys back" after driving a pretty dull (IMHO) wrong-wheel-drive car for a few years. Wink

No doubt you'd get screwed at the end of it for doing too many miles or for any visible wear and tear. After all, you are, in effect, just hiring the car.

Nor for me, I'm afraid. £190 a month would more than pay for the extra fuel to drive my 3.2 and probably the parts and servicing too. I know what I'd rather be driving. Wink

I don't think I could sleep at night knowing I'm paying total of £7k just to have nothing to show for it at the end. Especially when you can get a nice v6 miggy for around  1k.
