Has anyone ever purchased their lease car?

[fredgroves]

Just wondering what sort of price a lease company will offer?

CAP book value (ie what they hope to get at auction) or some sort of crazy retail value?

I know full well they just dump the things at the nearest car auction...

Am just mulling over my options now it looks like HMRC are about to make company cars a thing of the past...

Not purchased one before but did look at buying my current company leased Focus ST & was about 2k under forecourt prices.

Intrigued about the company car comment being histroy, do you have any further info what is meant by that?

Basically, no tax/ni savings any more... little or no advantage in a company scheme for employees or employers. Which is nice.

So I am scrabbling around looking at options....starting from that glorious place of having no capital lump sum to put down for a PCH/PCP/purchase.
