Could leasing be right for your family?

Car Leasing, Motoring Advice

Leasing and contract hire are not just for businesses. Personal lease has been in demand this year.  For families, leasing a car is an option that is often overlooked, but there actually many benefits:

Safety
When you are driving your children from school to football and back home you will value the importance of having a car that is safe to drive and will protect your children in the case of an accident. Newer cars are a lot safer as safety regulations are stricter and materials used in the car are a lot stronger. Car manufacturers spend millions of pounds on improving car safety.

More efficient
New cars are all about more efficient driving and being better for the environment. This will result in you filling up less and saving money on petrol costs. That’s not the only saving you will make – new car have lower emissions which means that you will pay less road tax. You will also be helping the planet with cleaner air.

More space
In recent years cars have become more spacious, and especially as a parent you know how much stuff you need to take if you are going somewhere.  If your children are growing up they will also  be grateful of the extra leg and elbow room.

Fixed prices
When you own a car you sometimes end up with unplanned outgoings such as expensive car repairs. With car leasing you can prevent this as you are paying a fixed amount and you can even include maintenance costs in your lease agreement.  Knowing your outgoings each month will help planning your finances.

Top Ten Reasons to Drive a Convertible

Car Leasing

With today shaping up to be the hottest day so far this year (and probably the hottest in 10 years), you are probably asking yourself, “Why don’t I own a convertible on a day like today so I could enjoy the weather… and drive around town in a flash new car?!”

If you need further assurance that you need a convertible this summer, here are our top ten reasons to get one:

  1. You tan whilst driving. Driving a convertible will help develop that year round, enviable tan. Your colleagues and friends will ask if you have been on holiday to Barbados whilst you have only been commuting into work on the A452.
  2. A convertible eliminates blind spots. If the roof is down you will have 360 degrees visibility. Making this a very safe vehicle indeed!
  3. Tall? Are you 6.3 ft. like me? Are you are struggling for headroom? If the roof is down you will have unlimited headroom.
  4. Ikea flat packs are easy to transport. With convertible transporting, Ikea flat packs are a lot easier as you can have your roof open and are not limited with roof space.
  5. Less likely to hear your partner or children in the back. Kids arguing in the back? Don’t worry; you won’t hear them thanks to the wind noise. Same rules apply when speaking with your partner.
  6. Convertibles are more fun. You are less likely to argue anyway as convertibles are fun and you can smell the sea and nature instead of your smelly air conditioner.
  7. Single? Not for long. Women love men with convertibles.
  8. Midlife crisis? Erm yes you better get one of those then. Plus you will look ten years younger in your convertible.
  9. Never have to call the AA again. Locked yourself out? Don’t worry you can just jump in without having that awkward phone call to the AA.
  10. Even with the roof up convertibles still look cool!

 

At CVSL it is top down week and we have some amazing offers on convertibles. Have a look here.

Top 4 benefits of car leasing?

Car Leasing, Company News

Do you see a brand-new car down your road? Why not try leasing.

This week we are looking at the benefits of leasing.

First things first: what is it? Vehicle leasing is the use of a motor vehicle for a fixed period of time at an agreed amount of money. Pretty simple stuff, so what are the top 4 benefits…

1. Avoiding unforeseen expenditure.

Leasing a car, you will benefit from avoiding any unforeseen expenditure with a set of monthly payments scheduled throughout the duration of the lease agreement.

In addition to this benefit, you can apply an extra fee to the monthly bill in order to have maintenance and servicing covered. Definitely one more thing off your busy mind!

2. Vehicle depreciation? No worries.

Once the lease period has lapsed (usually two, three or four years), you simply return the car, not having to worry about the value of your vehicle decreasing because the job of selling it falls upon the lease company. Ensuring you’re always driving one of the latest models, no hassles.

3. Low monthly payments.

Monthly payments are often significantly lower than they are for buying a car on finance, meaning you could be driving your dream car WITHOUT the nightmare price hanging over your head.

4. Get the most for your money.

The cost of leasing compared with buying can vary depending on the make, model and version of your chosen vehicle. For example, a Ford Focus Estate 2.0 TDCi 140 Titanium 5dr depreciates quickly, retaining less than 40% of its initial value after three years, so this would definitely be cheaper to lease than buy.

Car leasing or purchasing… there’s only one clear option. Why not take a look at our latest offers? More information regarding vehicle leasing can be found here.
