Taylor, I am pleased for you both that you seem to be back on an even keel, so to speak. Should the worst happen though, please post again as there are lease deals out there that would be within budget. For example this Citroen C3 with ‘National Vehicle Solutions’ at £117.59 p/month on a personal lease with 10,000 miles. It’s one of the many flash deals that these companies do and this should leave enough to cover the cost of insurance/tyres/servicing. The pic says initial rental, 12 months but the total term is the 36 as per Motability. That line, showing 24 months, just dropped out of the screen shot.
Another good site is ‘Vehicles for Business’. They also offer personal leases and I have friends who have used both.
There are also dealers and companies who lease ‘nearly new’. Again, a friend went down this route with a main dealer and was able to lease the Dealer Principal’s car. This allowed him to have a better model at a fair price within his budget. He has just completed his term and has decided to buy it. ?

? I will be remembered for nothing but had great fun doing it ?
