I think some lease, but not many leasing company are going to want to resale a two year old vehicle with 100,000 on the clock?

Look at TDO's links page for vehicles. :wink:

Peugeot certainly do here, but it is more cost effective to buy a vehicle with the peugeot passport scheme. Both have limited milage on them so I don't see the benefit of leasing as it's more expensive

Surely that must damage your credit rating if you kept doing it?

If it is bought on HP you are entitled to return the vehicle without penalty once you have paid 50% of the finance. They can't put anything on your credit file because you have acted within the terms of the contract. Also if when they sell the vehicle at auction, it makes more than what is owed to them, you then get the extra money back. I did this with a Suzuki carry van a few years ago. I got a cheque for £777.00. :mrgreen:

It was £4995 brand new. I can't remember if that was plus VAT or including VAT. We made an up front payment of the VAT and this was timed to coincide with our VAT return so that we got the VAT straight back. :mrgreen:

Why should there be a problem? The finance house recovered the amount outstanding to them and refunded the excess. They actually got their money back early so they would probably be happy to lend again.

What happens when they don't, which is more often the case?

However if a profit is made via an auction sale then I think that's bad business as well, as a larger profit should have been made via a private sale.

ive handed a vehicle back under the terms of a finance agreement, not all have the clause, it simply stated "when over half the total amount has been paid", i then had offers from the lender of cash loans so i doubt it was detrimental to my credit rating (then)

selling a vehicle is technically illegal, but ive done that twice after getting a settlement figure and paying the debt, but many lenders "flag" vehicles at DVLA and are alerted when a V5 is applied for.

SOME lenders have started using "personal lease" aggrements that the borrower doesnt understand which are virtually signed in blood and they rue the day they signed, no cop out, no pay off, no early settlement

You can't privatly sell a vehicle on HP. it isn't yours to sell.
