My car, like me, is getting on a bit and is starting to cost me a lot in repairs. I can't afford to buy a new one so I'm thinking about leasing. Anyone else gone down this route? Pros and cons?
Thanks in advance.

Make sure you know of any mileage restrictions Snowbell. Some companies allow so much per year and charge per mile for anything over that allowance.

You'll need GAP insurance to fill the gap between what your normal insurance company will pay if there's an accident and what the leasing company will want. It can be quite expensive.
