Whilst sending out my daily quotes, something hit me and made me think, i have been sending prices to a lot of customers who seem to me doing a hell of a lot of travelling in their car, so i decided to give a few of these customers a call to see if i could see exactly what kind of yearly mileage they would be doing

Mr Johnston was the first person i called, he requested a quote on a ford Fiesta asking for 30,000 miles per year, which is a lot of miles especially as the car was for personal leasing and not a business car lease, i sat their thinking this cannot be right so when i called him to confirm the details were correct, i asked a few questions like where he works, how far does he need to travel to get to work, how many times per week, and how much holiday he gets per year.

It worked out he travels 25 miles to work 5 days per week and is employed so we assumed he gets the usual 4 weeks holiday, so on that basis if he used the car solely for work 5 days per week his annual mileage would only be 11,000 per year (25 miles there, 25 miles back thats 250 miles per week 4 weeks in a month 12 months in a year take away the 4 weeks holiday) thats just a very rough estimate, of course he is going to use the car on weekends and in the evening, so we added another 4,000 miles which is now half what he priginally requested saving him the difference of £33 per month difference between the 30,000 miles per year to his more realistic price of 15,000 miles per year

That is over £1,000 saved over the 3 year period he has saved by getting the correct information, following on from that call i asked a few customers who took a car on 20k per year mileage option and all but 1 said they were doing much less than they requested all because they did not work out the correct mileage before commencing on the lease.

If you find that your are paying for a lot more miles than you are actually doing per year it may be worth calling your finance provider and speak with them in reducing the amount of miles you do it could and most often does result in a slight reduction of your month payments

When taking out a lease we always look for the cheapest rate possible, we advertise prices based on 10k if you can be more specific with the mileage we could save you money, you do not have to round the car mileage to the nearest 5k-10k,

Welcome to 2012,

With the economy looking gloomy, for many money is tight, so is now really the ideal time to get a new car, maybe not ! especially if you don’t really need a new car, however many will be looking at getting a new car and for those which are looking leasing is an ideal place to start to find yourself a new vehicle

Buying a car outright is going to lose you money as soon as you drive away from the showroom, it will eat up a very large chunk of you money in one go, and lets face it in this current climate we never know whats going to happen so to keep a bit of that hard earned money in the bank is a good idea, and with leasing your throwing all your savings at the car, you are only paying the the time your leasing, its like long term car renting, but cheaper

The CR-V is a surprisingly popular model for Honda, backed up by sales figures outselling close rivals like the Toyota RAV4 back in 2007, making it one of the top 10 selling vehicles of the year. It was loosely based on the Civic, simply to provide what the public wanted: a “sport-utility” vehicle from Honda. And so the Honda CR-V was born.

It’s since been improved over three generations to become what it is today: an all round good family car. It looks great; it has bags of room and is pretty economical, all for a great price. What more can you ask for?

The CR-V saw more changes in 2010, albeit minor changes, offering yet a more enhanced driving experience. So what were these changes? Let’s find out:

Improved Shape: The CR-V is stockier than it was previously. It’s slightly lower, wider and – due to removing the spare wheel from the back of the vehicle – considerably shorter. The wheel is now located underneath the car and significantly lowers its centre of gravity – and that’s always a good thing. Most people will agree that it generally has a better shape to it.

2010 Facelift: More on looks specifically, in 2010 there were some minor changes. From the front, the CR-V received a new horizontal-slat chrome grille and honeycomb-designed lower front grille as well as a new front bumper, and from the rear, slightly altered tail lights. For the EX and EX-L models, new five split-spoke 17-inch alloy wheels were also designed.

Interior Changes: As for the interior, the seat fabrics were improved and the front arm rests were widened – a small but noticeable difference. There were also some subtle changes with the interior backlights.

Performance Increase: On the performance side, there were also some nice improvements. It now has 180 horsepower as opposed to 166 and its miles per gallon capability improved slightly – by about 1 mile to be exact. Again, they’re subtle changes but, never the less, still improvements.

In conclusion, much like any model of car produced by Honda, the CR-V is continuously being tweaked and tested, then improved where possible. And that’s always nice to know. If you’re in need of a new car soon, it’s good to know that the latest model is as good as it can be.

If you’re looking to lease the Honda CR-V then you’ll find some great monthly prices around. It’s a popular car and thus, very competitively priced and offers good value for money. The CR-V is great for a bigger family or simply for those looking for more space. Although it’s based on the Civic, it’s obviously a completely different car and fills that gap in the market that the Civic just doesn’t. So if you think the Honda CR-V is the right car for you, then you’re probably right. Take a look today and see what contract hire deals are available, you’ll likely be pleasantly surprised.
