I lease my car. The lease is up on June 2nd. It"s my first lease agreement.

There"s no option to buy the car, so it"s definitely got to go back. I"m planning on making sure it gets an absolutely top notch valeting before it"s returned. Just because I"m very fastidious you understand. Definitely don"t believe any rumours you may hear that it"s because I"ve only washed it once during the 3-year lease

Has anyone much experience of leasing? Are there any does & don"ts for the return procedure. I"m expecting the company to get in touch with me to arrange a time to call and collect it - does that sound right? By the way, there"s a little bit of paintwork damage (just the very top layer of paint in a small, maybe 2cm² patch on the tailgate). Should I get that repaired? I"m assuming there"ll be some sort of assessment of it"s condition upon collection. How rigorous is this likely to be? Will I be presented with a bill for any defects or are they quite forgiving?

Also, I need to sort out a new lease. Anyone got any tips on ways to get the best deals; companies to try? My budget is upto £300pm inc VAT.

My current car is a Skoda Octavia Ambiente 1.9TDi. Very nice car, not one iota of trouble. I would happily have another. Should I be looking for a particular make/model of car or just go for the best deal? I"m thinking of perhaps going slightly smaller with a higher trim (more toys ).

Also, how many miles do you have to do per year to make a diesel financially worthwhile? I suspect my meagre 7k is nowhere near it. Mind you, I do like the long gaps between fill-ups that a diesel affords.

So many questions; so little time.

Have you approched the current company you lease from, surely as a current customer they are more likely to offer as good a deal as you may get anywhere else?

The company I lease from only deal with fleets not individuals. The deal was setup by a third party company who I actually got back in touch with just before Newcastle.

Because time is so short and because the lady I spoke to is so friendly & helpful, I am very likely to use them again, yes. Customer service eh, whoda thunk it?

She
May be the face I can"t forget
The trace of pleasure or regret
May be my treasure or the price I have to pay
She
May be the song that summer sings
May be the chill that autumn brings
May be a hundred different things
Within the measure of a day

She
May be the beauty or the beast
May be the famine or the feast
May turn each day into a heaven or a hell
She may be the mirror of my dreams
The smile reflected in a stream
She may not be what she may seem
Inside her shell

She
Who always seems so happy in a crowd
Whose eyes can be so private and so proud
No one"s allowed to see them when they cry
She
May be the love that cannot hope to last
May come to me from shadows of the past
That I"ll remember till the day I die

She
May be the reason I survive
The why and wherefore I"m alive
The one I"ll care for through the rough and ready years
Me
I"ll take her laughter and her tears
And make them all my souvenirs
For where she goes I"ve got to be
The meaning of my life is

She
She, oh she

Sorry Ger. If it"s any consolation, I"m in negotiations to get this bad boy over to you...
