One man Trafic jam
I am a one-man band with a 2007 Renault Traffic. I am looking to get a small car as a second vehicle because of quoting for larger jobs that are often further afield, and becoming more frequent, it just seems a bit pointless taking the van for long runs when it's not being used to its full capability. I have been looking at finance deals where I basically rent a new vehicle for three years then give it back & start again if required. All manufacturers offer these deals under different guises. Reliable motoring is a factor and I only expect to cover about 7,500 max in a year if that. Dose one manufacturer stand out from the rest or are they all the same with their terms.

You are talking personal contract purchase deals. All you can do is compare deals on the sort of vehicle you want. That is deposit + monthly payments. Don't worry about the final payment if you propose handing the car back after 3 years. Independents will do PCPs for you too, such as www.dsgauto.com or www.lingscars.co.uk
