Default heads up for troubled scooby insurance quandry

just thought i would let a few of you know about a current deal out there on a 60 plate runaround, allowing some of us to hang on to the scooby when you may be forced to sell up. wont be financially viable for lots of us, but even if it helps just a few out there i will of been glad to help.

60 plate Peugot 107 on the "just add fuel" deal. £250 deposit, £189 pcm
the good bit.
1. 3 yr warranty (standard manufacturer)
2. 3 yr free road tax
3. 3 years free servicing
4. 3 years free insurance.
5. after 3 years you can hand the car back!

exclusions. allowed 1 claim and 1 conviction within the last 2 years. over 25. annual mileage 6700, if handing back after 3 yrs +6p for every extra mile.

i mean keep the scooby garaged, bring down your running and servicing costs. and just run this midweek instead. but yes, a BIG step down, but weekends would be like taming a lion

How much do you spend on your car ?

£189 + fuel is cheaper than running it ?

I pay £83 for Insurance, £120 for fuel and .. oh wait .. ok good point ..

Why not just buy a cheap diesel ? 2005 diesel saabs can be bought for 2.5 k 04 plate laguna diesels for £1700, loads of cheap cars out there at the moment why spens 2k a year when for 2 k you can buy a whole car ?

was going to do this instead as the pug add fuel offer only worked out £15 a month cheaper overall after doing my sums properly. thing is , for some, they just want the reliability of a new car for peace of mind. as i said, its not going to be for everyone.

6700 miles per year is well below the average. Then 6p per mile you go over!!!

Also £189 on a 36 month contract is £6804 (+ the £250 deposit), so not exactly cheap.

And you then have to give it back to Peugeot

£6800 would make Alan Jeffery@Enginetuner and me very happy thanks !

P.S. £43 a week is way less than a hire car...
