Thank you for the help and advice. I’ve done the numbers of a brand new petrol Astra on the scheme vs a used 2020 cla, taking into account the AP and good condition bonus and the estimated depreciation over 3 years, finance interest, MOT, service, tax and insurance. The used Mercedes works out at an extra £60 a month. This assumes the Mercedes does not need any repairs in the 3 years between 10/15k miles and 25/30k miles as it could need nothing or rebuilding!
There’s no denying the scheme is definitely cheaper and gives you peace of mind. Is there any recent estimates on wait times for cars on the scheme (such as the Astra)?
