Mine's a personal contract hire. Manual, Silver, no satnav.

I paid just shy of ��900 down (��150+vat and 3 months down) and pay ��234 inc VAT per month (��199+vat). Deal was available for a short time around the British Grand Prix through EasyCarContracts and Skyfleet.

When I collected mine from Lancaster's the salesmen told me the deal had been pulled as the financier (Royal Bank of Scotland) was unhappy with the structure of the deal, as it had a high residual.

"Rumour" has it that 20 people ended up getting this deal.
