6 month car

[rossfourfive]

I'm looking to get hold of a car for 6 months. Would the best option be to contract hire? What options are available for 6 month contract hire and 6 mth insurance?

Would rather do this than buy now sell later - although depends on monthly cost.

Should give you a rough idea of prices.

6 month contract is going to cost a fortune on a brand new car as max depreciation is all in that period.

Try main dealer for a 1 year old model which isn't going to lose too much in the 6 month period that you have the car.

Hmm was hoping for something a bit cheaper than those. Are you able to take a car on finance and sell up 6 months later or would there be a fee for early repayment?

The fees would be huge.

When you finance a car they give you a big loan. Your payments pay off this loan + interest and cover the depreciation of the car.

The more the car depreciates by the more you have to pay.

Get a brand new car for 6 months and you get shafted.

What sort of car are you after? Any particular age?

Yea wouldn't have to be a new car though. Would happily settle for something a few years old. Just don't want to get a 10 year old fiesta from the guy down the road which breaks down as I drive it away.

Just buy something from a dealer for about 15k and take it back 6 months later.

They'll probably buy it back for about 12k.

You're going to struggle to beat £500/month.

Best bet without doubt though is to buy off autotrader then sell in 6 months.

You'll probably only lose a couple of grand on a decent 20k motor.

Don't you know someone who could deal with all the buying and selling for you if you bung them a few hundred?

Do you have any no claims discount? If not, £500/month for a car inc insurance could be a bargain.

Go to the car auctions and pick up a runner for 2k and sell it back for 1.5k in 6 months imo.

the black&white thing seems like a great way to spend 12k
