Cheap lease deal, star deal of the week from National Vehicle Solutions, used them before and found them to be very good.
10,000 miles per annum.
Seems like an excellent price for an ideal vehicle if you own a farm or work in the construction/engineering industries, or need an offroad workhorse....or to do that school run.
Also available as a personal lease for £183.22 PM plus £1099.32 Initial
In stock vehicle so usually delivery within 2-3 weeks.
RRP is £24,000

This is an off road work vehicle, not saying you would always be carrying loads of bricks around in the rear, but would be interested to know how many scratches and dents would be acceptable on return?

But will it do 300 hectares on a single tank of kerosene? :smile:

Will the payload on this be enough to carry all the branston beans I buy when they are on offer?

tempting. hmmm. £183.22 PM.
Don't need it though, but do need a motor. Need to get rid of my crappy Peugeot estate. This deal is tempting.

Really good idea I think we will almost certainly bring that in when we update the fleet (trying to get 7 years use and then buy them outright, they do under 15k a year) we've been putting money in a different account after the 3 years finance ended.
We do have an 'attendance bonus scheme' so staff think twice about being off - they lose their bonus after being off more than one day every six months.
Since introduction, sickness levels now are very low, for some strange reason.

Our vehicles are shared so it's hard for us to track damage etc. We have a company wide bonus which is affected by the amount of damage to vehicles. It's helped since we brought that in. Effectively the company still foots about 75% of the damage costs but the guys make more of an effort when they know it affects what's in their pocket, even if it's only a tiny amount.

Not entirely sure of the rules but the price drop is a direct result. These were basically a tax deductible "car" however when I enquired my accountant said this was no longer the case, she didn't specify why.

"Those that tow their houses behind them" don't seem to have any trouble getting lease vehicles around my way, which is odd because I am sure to get finance and car insurance you need to give a residential address.

Is this £183 x 24 + £1099 (initial rent) + £240 (admin) total therefore £239 per month for 2 years?

Think so- if you cannot reclaim the vat
lukepearson9216
22 Feb 16#29
The VAT thing seems to say that if it can carry a 1 tonne payload or more you're fine and who is actually going to check whether you are using it for goods or people?
deany76 to lukepearson9216
22 Feb 16#30
I thought is a vehicle has:
1/ rear seats fitted
2/ rear side windows you can see through
3/ seat belts fitter (as per law and 1/)
and the insurers of course need to know above, if its been modified.
Then it can NOT be classified as a commercial vehicle, and VAT can't be claimed back.
and as you say "The 1 tonne rule only applies to double cab pick-ups, not to any other vehicle."
kevinyork to lukepearson9216
22 Feb 16#43
Yes it does state that. This model has a payload of 1052 suggesting it qualifies.
I think any double cab pick up maker would be silly to introduce a non VAT reclaim qualifying version in the UK as its sales would be severely hit.

22 Feb 16#41
I seem to remember reading somewhere that if the payload area is bigger than the passenger area, then it can be classed as a van, sorry, can't make reference to it, as I can't remember where I read it, as an example, a Transit Custom double cab in L2 variant, would qualify as a van.

Had a previous model of navara ( provided by work) and just lol at this type or cars.. they are just useless at carrying anything serious, my Jazz has better practicality than this car! only good for their 4x4 but than again who even needs 4x4 in this country ,maybe once a year.
itsjonboyok to 229mel
22 Feb 16#39
Agree with people who live in towns - but if u work in the country there is no substitute for a 4x4, Towing and off road capabilities are the main reason.
I like the navara's to drive but Ive had my 55 plate for 10yrs and the chassis has rusted inside out also nissan did not correct water ingres into the cab whilst under warranty.

Great episode.."put it in h"..that's my afternoon accounted for..trawling youtube for simpsons clips
Appreciate the link. This is why we never give employees leased vans.
As a matter of interest do most bosses (what %) get their staff to pay the excess on damage if there is an insurance claim? (no one injured)
Also do bosses get staff to pay lease 'damage on return' costs?
& is the above in their Terms and conditions of employment?
We have £15,0000 Peugeot Experts and some treat them well, some not, one seem to treat his van very badly (messy etc).
We have 6 monthly 'Health checks' by ATS (member of office staff knows someone who works at ATS) & the 12 month MOT and service. and weekly van check reports.
thanks

Yes, needs a one tonne payload to qualify doesn't it? Is everyone getting picked up on this, seems a bit hit or miss whether you get pulled or not.

I've had a previous version Navara and it was a tough cookie and pretty in-destructable. I've currently got a Ranger which although I think looks the business its somewhat unrefined and thirsty with an uncomfortable ride. I test drove the new Navara a month back and its leaps ahead of the previous version and the Ranger in terms or comfort and refinement. Whilst a facelifted Ranger is just out, its not a bottom up new model like the Navara is.
I'm guessing this price is so good as the most popular version is the Tekna with all the kit. Thats the model I have on order at a chunky discount. We use it in our business and as a family vehicle and its tax efficient compared to us buying a car.

All those voting hot. Anyone even going for it? Just interested in knowing why they've made the choice :smile:
jacko791 to ZazZYo
22 Feb 16#24
If you're after a pickup then this is arguably the best of the current bunch. This and the L200 are probably the most refined and also have the highest load capacities http://www.mitsubishi-cars.co.uk/l200/explore.aspx#l200-towing-capacity
The L200 has a lower towing capability though which is what puts the Navara ahead.
The Isuzu is a decent workhorse but drives awful. The Ranger is OK and tows a reasonable weight but is otherwise behind the L200 and Navara.
Price on this is ridiculously good. I've recently been trying to order a fleet of these and couldn't get prices anywhere near this. I'm guessing they must have made too many of this entry level spec so are trying to clear stock.

No - it's for rednecks' trips to the pub. Those who tow their home behind them probably won't be eligible for a lease so they can throw as much tarmac in the back as they like!

Land Rover & Range Rovers are off-road vehicles but how many mums go off road after the school run?
I have seen quite a few mothers (they are all short) drive big ass ford Rangers, VW and Nissan pick ups around the city and at school runs in the morning.

All the large leasing firms will follow BVRLA guidelines about return condition of vehicle. For commercial vehicles this means that most damage to the load area is acceptable unless it is a quite significant dent. The rest of the vehicle will need to be returned to the same standard as any normal rented car https://issuu.com/bfwsn67/docs/lcv_fwt_standard_2015?e=2001091/12541985

I guess that this should be funny, but I don't get why in UK you buy liquids by liter, not galon, but your fuel economy is in mpg.
Maybe it should be km per galon

Well, if you need it for business / farm, you wouldn't buy it as all the damage you will have on return, will cost more then the lease itself.
This car is not good for personal / family use either, we have the previous L200 and I needed to use it for couple of months inbetween changing cars. Very hard ride, not much space for kids in the back and no booth.
Also it burns 8-9l / 100km diesel if you are gentle
Maybe it is a great deal, but I wonder how many people will benefit from that.

Oh just looked and the next model up gets alloys (I thought that would have been standard on all cars like this) also push button start!!!!! Cruise and a lot of chrome!! So guess well worth the little bit more unless it's just a workhorse and don't care what it looks like.
