I'm considering opting out of my co. car scheme and taking a cash allowance.

I also fancy a FL vRS.

I don't want to buy the car outright but would prefer one of the above options so that my deposit is as low as possible. I obviously have no px as the co car would be returning to the shonky company car lease company.

Has anyone gone down this route?

If any dealers want to PM me with figures.....

I have done the leased thing with lex.

Monthly figures are more than HP deals, and be sure to get a maintained contract and be sensible about your mileages. You must maintain at a main dealership if you go self maintained (not recommended - cheaper to get it in the contract). Dont also forget you'll need class 1 business use too for your work journeys.

Can be profitable if you do lots of miles, otherwise can cost you so much more than the co car option.

Oh and one thing I've found out at my cost recently. Changes such as increasing the mileage and deviating from the contract they will sting you. Also dont forget it's never your car, so dont go mad modd'ing it or changing stuff. They can technically turn up at anytime and ask for it back and give you something else.
