1910.0. "Suggestions for a leasemobile?" by YUPPY::CARTER (Windows on the world...) Wed Oct 07 1992 15:31

    As I am still trying to take over an existing lease with absolutely no
    luck I wondered if the community here could help.
    
    My requirements:
    
    Something with a >1.6 engine preferably fuel-injected
    Central locking
    Lecky Windows
    Power Steering
    
    Plenty of leg room, preferably with adjustable height/distance on both
    seat and steering wheel.
    
    No an Escort or Orion...
    
    Cost less than #200 on the lease
    
    (At the Mo I have a 1.8i CD Astra that suits all of the above)
    
    
    I am doing about 1000 miles a week so comfort is a factor, and I want a
    bit of oomph to overtake on country lanes.  Not worried about top speed
    - haven't found a car yet that will not do 70!
    
    As I am getting sick of trying to take over an existing lease I think I
    will now try to get a quote for a new one - but I don't want to waste a
    quote on something that would definitely be too expensive.
    
    Anyone got any suggestions? recent quotes? etc.
    
    thanks

    Sorry to hear you are having trouble taking over a car.
    A colleague has arranged to take over a car with no problem.
    Try phoning Angela Broomes on 7830 4700 (the no. in vtx is wrong).
    
    I noticed there is an Astra SRi with 7 months lease, does this interest
    you ?
    
    The quote/order proces can take up to a few months and it saves the
    company money if we take over existing cars. Don't give up.

Why not use the fixed price list? Try the Rover 200 series.

    I have an alarmed XR2i with 24 months left. Fits all of your 
    requirenments except adjustable seating/steering and powersteering.
    
    It will pee on any 1..6i 8v warm hatch.

    Yup..
    
    But with the athritis in my wrist I can't park the bloody things...
