Pig Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 So i found out tonight that my company car maybe going. Its a Smart for four 1.3 that does exactly what it says on the tin. It only costs me £35 a month. I have explained to the boss that i cannot afford to insure another car due to my age so will see about it being put on the company insurance. So......what suggestions have you got? Im open to anything at the moment. Budget £500 - £10,000 Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozz Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Now thats nice Maybe a little too old but def. worth considering I'm half tempted to look at that, it is a bit old though and we don't get the weather really. I bet the rs4 is a beast, stunning motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 so the 'newer' Smart car didn't enter into this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Posted October 15, 2008 Author Share Posted October 15, 2008 so the 'newer' Smart car didn't enter into this? They have stopped making the smart for four. Mine is an 06 plate. The smart 4/2's and i think the roadsters are still being made but i dont like them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please bear in mind im only a nipper (23) You're struggling with insurance on anything over a smart car, yet you have these things in your garage?! That Audi alone must be a killer on the insurance at 23! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Posted October 15, 2008 Author Share Posted October 15, 2008 I am hoping i wont need to pay insurance as i am going to ask the company to insure it on thier policy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just upgrade to a Mini Cooper, get your hair done, and be happy with it... Job done...

ozz Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 If they are giving up the lease car then you might get a good deal on buying it - worth asking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
