Best way to run a car?
You are starting at the wrong end.
Self-employed means lots of different things - unstable income, no work, bad debts.........
You need to sit down and look at your financial position
How much cash do you have? - enough to live on for 6-12 months (if you are careful) or are you paying the rent/mortgage and the minimum to debts and loans?
Taking on a £99 -£150 /mths car PCP might seem OK in the first heady days and weeks of self-employment. Break the contract and the Penalty charges are BIG (Thousands) and do not come in easy installments!!
I made £3,000 18 years ago in my first month of self employment - 100 items in short supply - bought @ £100 and sold for £130. It never was that easy ever again.
Easiest plan is modest car and charge your accounts with 40p for 1st 10,000 miles - it is taken as expenses and therefore is not liable to tax - you pay car, petrol, repairs, insurance etc.
In 6 months when things have settled down / gone into employment look again.
Bye the way what are you working at in your self employed state?
