I would, you may get a discount.
Those prices are more than we were quoted this week for leasing either a Ford Focus or a Toyota Auris for the same 3+35 payment profile. We also asked for 30,000 miles per year.

Ask them for a 100,000 miles quote, watch them pick a melon up with their arse hole.

Dear Sir,

Apologies but it seems that we cannot do Contract Hire for Taxi companies.

Do you have another business that is not Taxi related.

Kind Regards

I have been getting lease quotes from these people. I have made it clear that we are a taxi company. Our email address even has the word Taxis in it.

What fechin difference does it make if it's a Taxi/Ph, Reps car or private car, the price you pay pretty much reflects the amount of miles you drive annually.

25,000 miles in a well maintained Taxi should be no different to 25,000 miles in any other line of work...besides by the end of a 3 year contract the car will be worth fech all anyway.

But at £297 a month (roughly £10,700) it would hardly pay any contract hire company to offer a deal over 36 months as they'd lose probably more than the residual value of the vehicle will be worth at the end of the contract.

As soon as it's a Taxi they'll loose a shit load of money on the vehicle.

Buy a new saloon and drive it as a taxi for a week and take it back, see how much you loose on it.

Unless you are VAT registered, you will lose the VAT element as soon as you get the car.

Im registered, so if i buy new i can reclaim £2000+, if i rent/lease the rent is 100% deductable "at source", as opposed to buying where its tax deductable but over 4 years

Not really, unless used by animals..... with a wash and valet my current car (which ive had for 16 months and 33,000 miles) youd not know it ever been a PH

Its how you treat them Nige, just like women


truth to tell every car loses value as soon as its driven away if you pay the retail price, buy at auction and you may MAY just (and i mean JUST) not suffer the "gap"....
