interested in striking a deal with you if he doesn't want it.

    I would be interested in purhasing a PEUGEOT 405 Estate on completion
    of its lease. Is there anyone with such a car that they do not wish to
    buy themselves with a lease expiry Jan to Mar 1994?
    
    Any model, any engine.
     
    Please mail Steve Wells @UCG or phone 7782-1412
    

Mike Coggins is getting rid of his as soon as his V6 arrives

    Hi,
    
    	I am looking to buy a diesel of some description (Fiesta or
    Escort but other models considered) with a minimum capacity of 1.6.
    I am exploring several options - buying ex-lease and buying from a
    dealer/private ('F' Reg for insurance purposes).
    
    Does anyone have an ex-lease car up for grabs or know of anyone
    privately that is selling one. I have scoured the local rags but they
    seem to be scarcer than rocking horse fertilizer. Apparantly there is a
    number for Hertz where they will fax you list of ex-lease cars with
    prices - anyone know the number?
    
    Also, does anyone in Reading have any adverts of local dealers with
    diesels? Numbers and prices would be appreciated.
    
    
    Many thanks in advance,
    Gary.      

    Could also try car auctions might be interesting if nothing else.

    My Peugeot 309 GLD is up for grabs - see 4.last

    Ian,
    
    	4,500 is a bit steep for my pocket I was looking more in the
    3000-3500 range hence Fiestas and Escorts.
    
    Discovered the yellow FreeAds paper. Looks quite good but have to pick
    it up on Thursdays when it comes out as apparantly things shift fast in
    there.
    
    Cheers,
    Gary 

Be carefull on the mileage that you quote, as Hertz have the service records, 
which show the mileage at the last time you visited a garage etc.!!!

Working out the value of my car whn I bought it I came to the conclusion that 
it was no bargain basement, nor was it showroom price, but pitched reasonably 
in between.

Diesels, especially Citroen/Pug turbo's are in demand now more than ever, so 
the price you've been quoted I believe is good I wouldn't be surprised if it 
exceeded this at auction.

    Has anyone out there requested a purchase price for their ex-lease
    Mazda 323F SE EXEC with aprox. 47,000 miles on the clock ?????
    
    I'm thinking about buying mine.....
    
    Ian.

    Does anyone out there have a car coming off-lease shortly, preferably
    Astra size, not too expensive (second-car) ?  If so, and you are in a
    position to request a price for it, I'd like to hear from you.
    
    Thanks, Mike King@BSO, 0935-704343 / 0831-547667
    
    

How do we go about getting hold of this list ??

Can we get it automatically or do we have to have your "contacts" ??

    The McWegg has now passed the list to me.
    
    The no. on the letter is 081 847 2229 ' Hertz Car Sales.
    
    The list is titled ' Discount price list - vehicles 4mths to 4yrs in
    age '.
    
    They are mostly high mileage (as you might expect) and don't look 
    very much like bargains but it does say that you get a 1yr AA premier
    warranty.
    
    If you want any more prices posted here let me know what you are
    interested in (they are mainly Ford and Vauxhalls).

    I'm sort of in the market for a Pug 205 TD, high mileage no problem, in
    fact I'd prefer a high-mileage late one to an older low-mileage one.
    
    Cheers, Laurie.

    Sorry Laurie, the only pugs listed are 405's.
    
    Royston

    I'm not surprised. The 205 TD is extremely hard to find, which explains
    the price. What sort of prices are we talking about for the 405s then?
    TD versions only, saloon or estate. I shouldn't be surprised to see
    them only slightly more expensive that the 205s
    
    Cheers, Laurie.

    I stand corrected.

    RE: .26
    
    Yeah, I had spotted that. What I really want is a 205 TD. I spoke the
    the Finance Committee over the weekend, and the idea of another 405 is
    most definitely "not on"!
    
    Cheers, Laurie.

    Does anyone know which local auctions do Lease Plan take their DiGital
    end of lease cars to. The car I'm interested in was originally PHH
    before lease plan took over. 
    Is there stil a list available from the leasing company similar to the 
    Hertz list in 4.606
    
    I have mailed lease plan. I will post the reply on this note when I
    receive it

    Hertz dispose of their own vehicles in Isleworth, Middx.
    
    PHH send their cars to CMA in Leeds 0113 828686.
    
    Lease Plan also use CMA for cars only a year or so old, older cars they
    send to ICA in Bristol.

    Thanks for posting those numbers. Is there a number for ICA in Bristol ?
    
    Do the cars go through auction or can you get price lists like Hertz ?
    
    Royston

    Royston,
    
    These were my exact questions to Lease plan. I will post the replies.
    
    I have also requested how to know which day a certain car arrives at 
    Auction.
