1794.0. "Second hand Cars on Lease Scheme ?" by WARNUT::THOMASA (Wow I,ve got a colour ....) Fri Jun 12 1992 13:12

Hi all,

	Does anyone know if you can get our fleet
department to quote on a second hand car, and then lease
that via the usual car scheme ?

e.g.

	My "What Car" magazine says that a 3 year old 
BMW 535i SE Auto has a trade value of 13,000 pounds 

	Could I ask fleet to see if a car like this was 
just coming off a 36 month lease somewhere and ask them
to re-quote it for me based on its second hand value ??


	Would you expect the quote to be relatively
expensive ,maybee because a leasing company would
hike up the maintenance costs.

	Anyone have any thoughts  or will I have to wait
till I take over Uncle Kens job before I can get my hands 
on a bib BM (or whatever)

	thanks

	Andy T.

	You could always ring car fleet and ask them, but I doubt that that'll be possible. Anyway, just think of the tax you'll have to pay on 3.5 litres! Ian
1794.2	A pointer to more on the subject	PLAYER::WINPENNY		`Fri Jun 12 1992 14:04`	12
	If you'd bothered to have looked through the relevant topic on lease quotes you would have seen that this subject has been discussed very recently. Notes 1538.206 onwards. This would have saved you asking the question, saved others spending time replying to the question and saved diskspace (however little). And also saved me from getting a touch un-mellow over somebody who appears not to be able to search a conference :-). Chris

	BUmped you head when you got out of bed did you chris, some people are new to notes and as don't yet know all the facilities available. So why not try a be a little more polite!! Martin

	To be fair to the author of .0 there is a lot to wade through on lease cars in this conference. Perhaps a reply to an existing note on the subject would of been preferrable though. Roy
1794.5	Touchy. Moi?	PLAYER::WINPENNY		`Fri Jun 12 1992 15:46`	10
	Re: .3 I am having a good day. This is me being as polite as I'm ever going to get :-) <----- Or hadn't you noticed the little bit of sarcasm at the end. Chris

	Re: .0 Not a chance. Fleet only allow new cars. You can't even specify which garage you want to supply the car.
1794.7		PLAYER::BROWNL	Errer-free noting	`Fri Jun 12 1992 16:05`	5
	By the time you've paid the supplement, and then the tax on the benefit, I'm sure a lot of you would be better off buying a 1 year old car yourselves, anyway. Laurie.

	Of course if your car is over 4 years old, the benefit in kind is halved. Mark

1794.10	If it wasn't for the insurance	WARNUT::THOMASA	Wow I,ve got a colour ....	`Fri Jun 12 1992 17:59`	10
	Hi, If it weren't for the fact that the insurance group on a 730iSE is group 9 (!) I'd consider opting out of the scheme and lease a 3/4 year old car that way. Andy (Big BMW lover) T.
