Okay, we've been given a £10m to start our company by investors. That allows us to be somewhat extravagent on fully-expensed company cars. We've been told that we each have a budget of £50K to buy a company car. It must be a brand new car that is currently available.

What *current* new car would you choose. Bear in mind the £50K must include any options you choose and must be the on the road price including VAT and road tax. If possible, provide a link where the cost can be verified.

I'll start the ball rolling with the following:

http://www.porsche.co.uk

Porsche Cayman S with:
- satnav
- auto-dimming mirrors
- leather sports seats
- Bose
- Climate
- Metallic paint
- Parking sensors
- Heated seats
- CD changer
- Sports steering wheel
- Porsche crest on headrests
- Xenons
- Carbon door entry guards

That comes in just over £50K so i'll have to grovel to Palmira (Facilities Manager) to get that through.


Good choice. I will order you one on Monday.

I spent 15 minutes observing one outside AFN Porsche in Chiswick the other day, and I approve of them for use as our company cars.

Let me know what color (silver or black?) and i will get you an 06 plate one.

You can work for Milky (Valeter) who works for Tomark (Service Manager). You still get £50K to buy your company car... Smile

Is it just me or has anyone else noticed how our company has turned into a kind of BL organisation?!

We've got all the jobs but no product. Personally I think it's somewhat cute of course if you are a worker you want the best pay and working standards possible and if you are the managers or owners you want to keep your workers noses to the grindstone.

We are well away on the gravy train with our 50k cars Smile

..i doubt we could ever agree on product...we cant agree on rover, ze shermans or jap motors over the course of several interminable weeks and apparently hundreds of posts...i suggest we liquidise our assets and sell ourself to ze shermans for 15 quid and some diesel boat anchor technologie, then bugger off to china with our collective expertise and redesign the great wall....i think some cladding and a bit of paint will just finish it off....
