Ok just spoke to her.
She is going to find out tomorrow what is on her company car list and what the realistic lead times are. I have explained the risks associated with buying a 2-3 year old car, running it for 60k miles and having to foot the costs for insurance, servicing, road tax, breakdown and emergency repairs like new tyres etc.
According to her finance dept, the employer will pay her 10p a mile business use for a diesel car and 20p a mile for petrol!! That surely can’t be right? 15 years ago Safeway were giving me 35p a mile I’m sure!!
Will hopefully have more information tomorrow but I am heavily pushing her towards getting the company car and saving some money every month towards her retirement car.
And I have also read up on the 1.2 Qashqai petrol engines! Ouch! How Nissan have got away with this design flaw is unbelievable.
