I don't want to say that you don't really know what you are talking about....but you really don't know what you are talking about. Contract hire is unlike buying a car from any dealer or off a website. Only certain cars qualify because of the VAT element which is discarded in the purchase of the car by the finance company. Therefore, a deal such as this one which was organised by one particular supplier only had cars available in one certain spec and a few colours. I was lucky enough to be able to get the only car available with a leather pack and therefore the colour choice was silver. I checked with a number of different brokers, all of whom independently came back with the same answer on the SAME car and similar prices on this one car. It was clearly the only one available on the deal.
Having looked into CH'ing a Civic since last November, I am probably an authority on the monthly outlay for said car and I know that I have been offered a fantastic deal on the car, so good that in fact it's cheaper for me to hire it for three years and hand it back than it would be to buy it and then sell it with the sort of high mileage that I will put on it.
