Loads are leased nowadays. I'm looking at leasing for my own personal car, I'm looking at a Hyundai i40 Tourer Diesel for £260 a month all in with 10,000 miles a year which I won't do.

Leasing is the way forward.

Shame it wasn't more practical to lease vehicles doing around 30'000 miles a year, I'd consider business leasing if the price were right.

My personal car for the last five years is a 55 plate Volvo S80 diesel, only 45k on the clock, I can see that still being my runaround for another 10 years as its so comfy, cheap to run and damn near bullet proof.

We had one for years, auto version, a brilliant engine, very good mpg.

If yours is an auto make sure that the gear box oil is checked/changed! They say it never needs changing - but it does. The oil does break/gunk up, and I believe that is what screwed our auto gearbox up - that was the reason we got shot of it, as it becomes very expensive to repair/replace.
