1361.8Depreciation is very high on new carsJANUS::BARKERJeremy Barker - T&N/CBN Diag. Eng. - Reading, UKWed Feb 20 1991 14:4312
Re: .7

If you need to have a new car the lease scheme is pretty reasonable.

If you are happy to have a car that is not new, then it is generally more
expensive (as it only deals in new cars).

The depreciation incurred in the first few days that the car is driven on
the road is disproportionately high.  The rate of depreciation falls 
significantly after the car is a year or two old.

re.7: >Maybe the lease scheme isn't so bad after all.

Depends on mileage and changes of circumstance. In my case, enforced
relocation to the Solent office from The Crescent blew my budget for 
depreciation due to mileage.
