Anyone on here get a car allowance?
« on: 13 December 2011, 16:47 »
Talk to me! New job comes with a £5.5K allowance (I know this is subject to tax and NI).

I don't really know what to do with it! Top of the list at the moment is a TD4 LR Freelander 1 for about £6K on a 55 plate.

The only thing I believe I have to have is 4 or more seats.

Tempting!

Honestly, having this car allowance is such a ball ache. I have no idea what I'm going to do with it. It needs to be sensible, cheapish to run and ideally be able to tow the golf on a trailer.

Passat B5.5 TDI 4motion is another choice but they're like hens teeth. Audis are a no go, I don't want to look like a dick.

Don't know, I'm off work at the minute but back in tomorrow when I'll get all the details of the allowance scheme and mileage money etc.

Yep I get a car allowance. Got a mk5 Pirelli - seemed the sensible option  :cool:

Makes sense if you are not doing all that many miles. I do about 8k per year so a no brainer

Well I'll be doing circa 12K a year to and from work (so personal mileage) and I guess another 10K business mileage.
