High Mileage leasing

Posted on March 4, 2013 by phil

One of the most asked questions we get is can we use Carlease UK for high mileage car lease deals. 

The answer of course yes, its one of our specialties  High mileage leasing made up the bulk of  contract hire and lease cars a few years ago because the tax benefits were such that you needed to be doing many miles in your car to make it worthwhile.

Most often funded using contract hire,  leasing can bring some certainty to the otherwise unknown costs of a high mileage vehicle. With a fixed monthly cost that will not change over the term of the deal.  You can also add to your lease the servicing and tyre cost of your vehicle throughout its life.

If you know what your budget it, how long you want a car for and what initial payment you are comfortable with, we can arrange you your new lease car.

In the last few years, car depreciation has been quite high. With our buying power and funders great rates, you can lease a car your car without concering yourself about the future value. Instead of writing down the costs over a great number of years, you can write it off within the period of the lease. At the end of your lease, rather than having to sell an  out of warranty, high mileage car you simply hand it back.

What we do know, is that customers that  cover high mileages in their cars prefer to come and see us face to face. At Carlease.uk  we can do that.  Come and see us at our offices in Leigh, between Manchester and Liverpool.

Land Rover to release more than a dozen new models in the next six years

Posted on February 28, 2013 by phil

With competitors for every vehicle that Land Rover currently market getting ever better and in some cases better value, the marketing department of Land Rover has admitted after many rumours that on the back of phenomenal worldwide growth, they are going to invest in releasing more than a dozen new models over the next six years.

Land Rover’s new plant in the Midlands will not be anything like fully occupied by the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport. In fact, the plant could easily handle another 50,000 vehicles per annum.

Sales targets are of  course increasing and Jaguar Land Rover has already been speaking to some of the leading car leasing companies for their views. CarLease UK, one of the UK’s fastest growing,  specialise in the Land Rover product and 4×4 vehicles.

 Land Rover have segregated the product into Luxury, Leisure and Utility .   Falling under the Luxury, we expect the new Range Roverto be followed a new Range Rover Sport, then an Evoque long wheel base. The Evoqueitself may have a cabrio added to its model range along with a baby Evoque in the pipeline.

The Leisure classed vehicle range will include a luxury Range Rover, something that was a large seller historically but missing now.  A Discovery 4 is undoubtedly due followed by a hat trick of Freelanders.

A long term favourite of  car leasing companies,  the model range looks like being expanded rather than being finished off. Firstly a seven seat long wheel base Freelanderfollowed by a sportier model aimed at the Audi Q5 and then the baby Freelander.

Lastly the Utility range, also available on lease deals,   the new Defender.  Expected in 2015, the new Defender will be lighter,more fuel efficient and even more capable.  The four door pick up will be first launched followed closely by the new seven seater.  The two door and a street styled two door will launch the year after.

An exciting period for a fantastic English product.

The Sun is out and our coupes and cabrio's are selling

The sun is out and it’s time for the company directors and partners to think about their own lease cars

Posted on February 27, 2013 by phil

This time of year, when the sun begins to shine, we get our first enquiries for nice convertibles and sports cars.   Whilst the image of a lease vehicle may be BMW 3 Series or Vauxhall Insignia, in many cases the decision makers drive Jaguar sports and Peugeot RCZ’s.

At CarLease UK, we are proud that we can discuss any of our products with an enquiring customer, from a small car or Eco car through to fabulous and bordering on the exotic.

Take for example the Jaguar XK sports car.  Available in four models, the XK, XK Portfolio, the XKR and the wonderful XKR-S.  We have video blogged the XK below,

the build quality and attention to detail of this car is staggering.  The 5 litre V8 produces 385 bhp and you may think that would be enough, but that is not the way that Jaguar see it.  The XKR-S produces 550 bhhp and has a theoretical top speed of 300 kph.

We also offer many other superb sports tourers, from Mercedes Benz coupes, famous for their mile eating ability, BMW Coupes, including the soon the launch 4 series,        Aston Martin and Porsche. 

For those who like the sun on their head, have a look at our convertibles,  with over 8500 cars on offer, just on our website, we are bound to have a car to suite you.   If you need a personal service, really looking after, feel free to contact us, we assure you of our very best at all times.

Are Apps useful in lease cars and company cars

Very soon, most mobiles will be smart phones, capable of running Apps, whether they are Android or Apple.  Some Apps are really useful others of course are more of a toy.

Forgetting the obvious racing games and car stealing games, some Apps can be really useful.

Some of the most popular are parking Apps and vary from the AA backed Parkopedia to Free Apple ones such as Share Free Parking, Car parking UK .   It seems from blogs on line that the parking Apps are very city based and I suppose that its not really surprising as that is usually where the highest concentration of car parks are.

In so much as an ear piece or Bluetooth kit makes a mobile legal in a car,  texting is of course illegal. A number of Apps are available, such as SMS, My Car and Me, that turn a text into a voice message.   Apple have equivalents such as Text’n Drive, which is available free.    Apps are already available for  theory tests and driving tests, but some are actually useful to company car drivers that are after all doing the most miles and using the most fuel.     iTunes has an App that covers thousands of petrol stations all over the UK and then reports the cheapest prices in a twenty mile radius.

Other, equally useful Apps  let you view traffic cameras,  find and book a hotel, check traffic conditions and recently, the Radio Player App was added to itunes.

Most of these Apps will be some use to lease car drivers, as phones advance, then they will run ever more.

Lex Autolease have an App that can manage your services and history, for the administration of your company cars, you can get an app to work out company car tax.  For those who have to record their mileage, Company Mileage logger lays out an easy to use recorder

The only question is, what is next?
