Keep existing car, buy used or cotract hire?
I have a 2004 Audi TT in excellent condition with 55,000 miles on the clock. I currently do 4000 miles per year. In view of low mileage, is it worth keeping or replacing with a used TT or opting for contract hire, which is £500 per month?

Contract hire at £500 a month makes no sense at all for a car in which you will be doing 4000 miles a year. That's £6000 a year and £1.50 a mile for the contract hire alone.
