Car website Motors.co.uk is primarily a site for those customers who want to buy a used car, especially with finance, and following the launch of its first-to-market monthly payment search tool, they have discovered that the majority of car customers are looking to pay around £200 per month for their next car.
Although the level of deposits varied (from zero to £1000), 19% of consumers chose £200 as their preferred monthly contribution, with a further 16% wanting to pay £150 per month.
But remember that this is for a used car, where wear and tear will be an important factor; where mileage has to be taken into consideration; where manufacturer's guarantee is almost certainly not something that comes into the equation; where you don't get offered a replacement NEW car as an option after 3 years (depending on contract); where there's the chance of a sticky sweet left down that little space between the driver's seat and the storage space next to it; where road tax isn't paid for; and where it doesn't get delivered to you when you first get it.
Because all those things aren't at all relevant when you lease a car from Nationwide Vehicle Contracts.
Whether you are looking at a Personal Leasing Contract or a Business Leasing Contract, when all the paperwork is agreed and completed, you will be driving around in a delivered-to-your-door* BRAND NEW vehicle, complete with manufacturer's guarantee, road tax (for a minimum of one year subject to contract), and breakdown recovery. (*For some locations a delivery charge will be made, depending on address and vehicle manufacturer.)
You may also be safe from the financial worries of car maintenance if you've taken out a maintenance contract too!
And leasing a vehicle isn't as expensive as you may think. Your £200 a month can go a long way, depending on the type of car you are looking at.
Here are some examples of cars for which deals are available from Nationwide Vehicle Contracts at the moment that fall underneath the £200 a month budget that you are looking at - including VAT!
