Christ, I keep thinking 'why am I running old cars', always something breaks. But from owning new cars I remember the constant stress of coming back to it to find some twat has taken another corner off it, the night before it goes back to lease company. Do not miss that stress for sure!
Was totting up numbers the other day and think Volvo will be on for around 30p/mile this year in straight costs, fuel, insurance, mot, things that broke so far, things that will likely break

Shall we do a lease? Picked this up in December 2017.
Seat Leon Cupra 300 - £1929.79 lump sum, 29 x £230.71 monthly payments + one service at £360 = £8,980.38
26,000 miles in 2.5 years, so that works out at something like 34.5p per mile before insurance and fuel. Insurance was about £650 a year and averaged about 31 mpg.
Rotated tyres and somehow managed to not need to buy any tyres during lease.
On second Cupra lease at the moment which I got a little bit cheaper, due back in June though...
