The last 10 years I worked it was running my own cars - the last one was a run out Civic Estate - bought for £11K brand new as a "go to work & customers car" - it had been £16K list in 2001
The employers bought the car twice over in the 6 years £300+ / mth (taxed) & 45p per mile for first 10K then 25p. The odd minor repair + tyres/exhausts etc but over the life of the car really very little expense - most importantly it never left me at the roadside awaiting the breakdown man.
Colleagues looked down on the car as they had 2 & 2.5 litre company cars but Scotsmen know how to look after the bawbees. (very old Scottish coin)
