Having just started my own business, my pride and joy has to go.

Question is, what car shall I get through the company?

It has to be sensible, cost wise, otherwise I may as well just keep the scoob!!! It also needs to be something my partner can drive (ie affordable insurance)

I guess the obvious one would be the new mini?

Anyone have any experience of running a company car for their own business? I have absolutely no idea where to begin. I have also heard that putting company graphics on the car entitles you to claim more money back? Any other tips?

Also, any other suggestions for which car?

PS the scoob is currently in the for sale section

what would scooby do

Ed I know of one company director who went from having an M5 to a Mini Cooper S - he loves it, so it must be doing something good..

Someone on here must run their own business with a company car?

Any other ideas regarding the car itself?

Alfa 157?

Mini One and Audi A2 are the only fun(ish) things in the lowest tax group, unless you're keen on Smarts

Mini must be the most popular choice, I see more of them with stickers on advertising businesses than I do without!

I guess I need to see my accountant and find out more about tax brackets etc.

Will car dealers be able to advise on these issues? Going to test drive the mini tomorrow. hope their salesman doesn't scare easily
