As above
assume no equity to trade in of any significance.
About 10k miles a year useage
won’t bother going into brand preference as there all roughly the same price wen matching spec up.
That’s why I asked the question as already own one where it seems buying was a much cheaper bet than leasing.Think the days of leasing pickups are long gone. We’ve leased them for 15 yrs but bought the last one and will be buying another this autumn for March 24 delivery.
The lease prices I’ve seen so far are extremely high. Look at used values and buying is the cheaper option as long as you can afford to carry the purchase till you move it on after a few years.
We always buy, be it tractors, forklifts pickups or anything else. Generally by the end of the lease period you've parted with as much brass as you would buying the thing, then have to give it back! In essence you never stop paying.
If you buy and find it's really good, or the job gets tight, you can make change time wait. Equalling if it's crap it can go sooner!
That said, I've never financed any vehicle to ride about in, and have never paid more than 10k for any of them.
As a general rule we buy then at 4-5yo with 100k on, I have them for 5yrs or so & put 50-60k on them, then they become the farm truck til they reach the end of the line.
If they get anywhere near a grand a year or 10p/mile in depreciation I'd class it expensive motoring
How much was the Wild track to buy back then?Found the opposite over the last 20 yrs of leasing tractors and vehicles until the last 18 months. 70 plate ranger Wildtrack, 3 yrs, 20k miles per year, 3 years £270/month + vat. 3 payments down. Total cost £10,530 + vat.
Goes back in March 24 but it will be replaced with a purchase. When that arrived in March 20 we also bought a 70 plate Amarok because at the time a lease was £680/month + vat, so buying that was far cheaper as it’s now done 30k miles and still worth what we paid for it according to the local vw commercial centre. The new vw Amarok though is going to be pushing £50,000 to buy. Final prices are imminent.
How much was the Wild track to buy back then?
Personally, £3.5k per year is too much for a runabout, but I'm not doing the miles you are

Do you lease HGVs though?We always buy, be it tractors, forklifts pickups or anything else. Generally by the end of the lease period you've parted with as much brass as you would buying the thing, then have to give it back! In essence you never stop paying.

No, we always bought them, usually on finance but not leased. To make that stack up drivers need to be out every night and maxing hours every day. Our work didn't really work like that.Do you lease HGVs though?
Trouble is these new pick ups are a nightmare once out of warranty. Fathers Nissan has just been in for 2 new turbos, 4 week wait for parts and a 4k+vat bill it’s only done 60k miles. Thats on top of all the other problems it’s had over the last couple of years. Even the service manager said he’s glad they’ve stopped selling them as the newer they got the more problems they had. Picking a new Isuzu up next week, 5 years warranty, plan to change at 4 and keep them new.We always buy, be it tractors, forklifts pickups or anything else.

Also if you buy, don’t go for basic bit for a top specIf you have the cash , buy then sell at year two. If you don’t. Lease for 4 years. You are doing very low annual miles do be prepared to get stung in lease , hence why I say buy. Bit if you do buy/ budget £2000 to get paintwork done and valet before you sell at 2 years. It will make you £4000
Did he buy it or was it given…. I looked at them. They are very low and have terrible resale which is all relevant if look in at cost or ownership.Fella was here the other day in a sanyong pickup , latest model , second ones hes had loves them 5 year warrenty , i felt it looked really good , i like the look better than new hilux .
