Lease or buy car
I'm going to buy a bmw i3.
Cost £30000
Should I put down £20000 cash which is all my savings.and then get a £10000 loan.to buy car outright.
Or stick £20000 into mortgage.which will save £200/ month.then just lease car at £3000 deposit and £400/ month for 3 years.
I say put into mortgage.wife says buy it.we both think each other is right.
What would you do?

using the money and another loan to outright buy the car is a waste of money and with the car you are only ever going to lose money.
Alternatively,
put most into mortgage and buy a fun car

i would lease it, The car will depreciate like a lead balloon ! Its not exactly desirable to most and selling on i think might be tricky in 3-4 years so you might waste 20k! Least with a lease you chuck it back at them,
yeah its costing you 400 a month for something you dont own, But your saving 200 a month anyway

Mortgage, buying you would lose it rapidly, leasing your basically renting
So do your self a favour buy a older car which won't lose rapidly and get a mortgage which is safer

Lease a cheaper car for £200pm, put the £20k into your mortgage and keep paying at the same rate you are now, if you managed to save £20k while you had a mortgage then you can possibly afford to pay even more.
Or buy a cheaper car for around £5k and put £15k on the mortgage and pay off at a faster rate with the money saved.
Fancy new cars are over rated and drop like a stone, plenty of very decent cars out there for £5k and when your mortgage is paid you'll be quids in and able to afford anything your heart desires.

Some lease deals are outrageously cheap at the moment. Seen DS3's for £95 a month, Golf R for £225 a month etc and those are personal lease deals, the business ones are even cheaper for those who get a car allowance. I've never done leasing before but now I understand how so many people have brand new cars all the time.

A ds3 for 95 quid a month is a steal if I got my Mrs one I would save more in petrol than the ds3 costs to lease. (not that I think I could convince her to swap an old x5 for a new Ds3)

My mistake, £98 a month or £115 for double the miles:

Had a god look round this site since I saw the Golf R deal on Hotukdeals.

Its a tough one, we did a similar thing on the Mrs last but one car, worked out quite well. Was £20k. Put £10k in and took personal loan of £10k.
Sold the car 18 months later for £14k, only about £6k left on the loan so came out the other side with just under £9k IIRC.
I thought that was pretty good - given the PCP deals they were offering would have kept us locked in that car and cost us at least £4k in interest.
