Then the insurance/tax ( )/breakdown/servicing/tyres blah blah.The lease deal will work out more but there's the peace of mind / less aggro side of car ownership on the plus side.
You have to pay insurance on a lease car though. Including Servicing/tyres into the lease ramps up the monthly figure- in the case of that Fiesta it went from 200 to 238 a month. Tyres tend to last 20,000miles anyway. On the tax- the Fiesta Ecoboost is minimal if not zero?
As for breakdown- if you get a two year old car???
I'm driving a 2007 French car and in 10yrs of driving I've never had a breakdown yet. Any noises etc - I'm on it straight away.
A 2-3yr old car shouldn't give you any aggro. Unless you misfuel or dont do the checks or regular servicing.

So how have you managed to drive a 7/8 year old car for the last 10 years?

The company lease deal I was looking at includes all this. I would just put fuel in.

Two year old cars *never* break down ? 🙂 Personally I would buy breakdown so that's an additional cost to put into the equation for me. Lease == included, purchase == not included. (Granted it's not much £££ though 😉 )
Hora while your logic is good and i agree to a point
My dad had a brand spankers van on a lease....
This thing had more electrical gremlins that god knows what , was a relief to hand the keys back.
After 2 years It did this thing where you would turn the key and "nothing"
Push it slightly and bump it a little and it would start fine sounded like starter solenoid ****ed- but no....garage replaced heaps of the componants in that area inc clutch , flywheel, starter and alternator before declaring it wiring and it would need to go to vehicle electrician. Lease co got that back sharpish.
Ip also hunted at idle - they couldnt fix that either.

So basically dont lease or buy a craply made van 🙂
Not all cars or vans are made equal.....
You could as easy buy or lease a lemon jn any brand..... But at least a lease gives you an easy exit strategy.

I was joking, but surely just selling a van is an easy way out also?
Not easy to sell a lemon that may or may not start at any given moment unless your delboy
