Something outstandingly boring and practical, have they not got an age limit on the cars?

When I had CA it was 4 years was the oldest we could have.

Thought of leasing?

When this came up before I asked the same but it appears not.... which is good!... and unheard of as far as I know.

Well I don't think there's an age requirement. If there is I'm boned and I'll have to lease some boring 1.4 TDI Golf that'll sit outside the flat doing nothing for 5 or 6 days a week. Seems an utter waste of money for something I'll barely use. The 5 will still be on daily duty unless the weather is horrific or I'm heading to see a customer.

I'll have to put fuel in whatever I drive to work and for the sake of about £15 a week I might as well drive the one I like driving no? It's why I got rid of the Polo and bought the 5 in the first place.
