Depreciation

However if the £xxx that you pay for the car enables you to make a good profit, ie finance the business then it makes leasing, releasing the cars value a viable option.

I did the same with property, upped my mortgage in the short term hence higher monthly payments but the propery I bought made me a tidy profit.

 

That's it exactly. :)

 

Liam, you can't compare leasing a car to renting a house because your house won't lose 40% of its value in 18 months. If the lease payments on a car are no more than the depreciation over the same time, what have you lost? Other than the grief of getting rid of the damn thing at the end.

Sorry for going OT - your argument is sound mate :teeth:

Hence the BoeBR coming down last month, the market was at breaking point........ :):surrender:

 

You cant envisage the rate going up again in the near future??

4% by this time next year

 

That's interesting , I would have thought with raw materials going through the roof (steel, copper alloy etc.) , fuel /gas prices rising , food costs escalating(price of wheat has nearly doubled in 6months :scare: ) that it was a sure fire bet that inflation would rise

Inflation yes, but interest rates will consequently go down , tenner on it ;)

 

 

12 months from now a tenner will wing it's way up to Cumbria if inflation is lower than today :thumbs:

I didn't compare it to leasing a house, Dorian did ;)

 

But only for the hell of it :p the flaw was 2 pages back :p

No the bet is on interest rates at 4% - besides, there are so many measures of inflation, I doubt I can justify paying my lawyer to get my winnings :lol:

You can't actually lose, because you will rightly call in the bet if you win, whereas, I won't bother if I do as it's lost in the noise :lol:

I thought you would do better with higher interest (ie higher commision ? )

 

Nope, incorrect. When I visit clients, i want them to be on a high rate and for me to be there with a really low rate. This makes my proposition far more appealing and can justify charging my fee :thumbs: Mortgage commision is negligible and not directly linked to the rate at all. Think approx 0.35% of the borrowing, this is typical :)

I'd never take a mortgage from a man with a lambo - i would assume (not necessarily correctly) that he was ripping me off and earning far too much from me!

 

And by the way, you're all boring me now! :lol:

 

I don't turn up in the Lambo so you'd never know ;)
