There are archives worth of discussion on this on previous threads, so fair warning given !
Any old how, you'll recall my distaste for the £500 + a month the company car was costing in bik tax? Well, yesterday, I bought the car from the company. The price was more or less irresistible at about 70% of its trade in value and of course way below forecourt value.
So, I could keep it for a long time and run it to the end of its usefulness, keep it for a while, and probably not lose anything or much, or chop it in soon and take a wee profit.
I'd still need something "that size" for the foreseeable and would rather not be spending too much more right now, so I'll maybe run it for a while anyway.
Some say those 350s are sort of ok though...
Hmmmm 🤔

I honestly can't think of anything that would suit your professional and personal requirements better (apart from your image requirements). I bet you could get three people and their pushbikes INSIDE a Berlingo XL.

Yeah, maybe, but, well, yeah perhaps, I'll erm, give it some thought...

So 4 cylinders are insufficient and 6 desirable. Who knew.

No, it's just, y'know, like, well, for a change maybe, not a deal breaker, not in any shape or form, pah, gosh, no, not at all. Preposterous notion in fact. 😋

Anyway, £430 for high mileage business insurance inc legal protection and EU breakdown cover. £125 for a year's tax.
OK I thought.

Servicing? Will you stay main dealer?

Probably not. Only real advantage ( other than potential preservation of value ) is the Mercedes Mobilo breakdown cover, but I've got that with my insurance. Local Indy is very good.
