I have just begun a new job and feel that the time is right for me to be looking into buying a new car. In all truth I have owned my Fiat Punto for well over 6 years now, and although she has been brilliant, she is looking a bit old and battered.

My biggest predicament is which car should I think about investing in?

There are a lot of cars on the market now and my concern is if I make the wrong choice, I could be stuck with a car for the next 6 or 7 years.

A friend of mine suggested that it might be a good idea to look at leasing a car for a few years. My first thoughts were that this would work out too expensive and I should just buy a car outright.

I decided to carry out some searches and get all the facts and figures together so I could see what sort of deals were showing up for Cheap Lease Cars.

I will admit that I was very surprised by the really competitive deals on offer, but still totally undecided about which car to choose.

My first vehicle was a Vauxhall Nova, so I thought that probably looking into Vauxhall Contract Hire would be an ideal place to start.

Although Vauxhall has some brilliant models available, I was thinking about leasing a car more in line with my new company status.

My partner bought a Toyota Avensis and he is very happy with this model. He has found his car to be very dependable with no problems. With this in mind I decided to carry out a search into Toyota Contract Hire and I was suitably impressed by the Toyota Landcruiser. The Landcruiser seems like a tremendous motor, big enough for the family, lots of room for the weekly shopping and it will certainly look great in the car park.

I think the Landcruiser will suit me very well for the next 3 years. What is brilliant is that at the end of the 3 year lease, I can buy the car.

The time has come to return to University for another year of boring lectures and drinking too much.

At least this year I’ve saved some useful cash from a variety of jobs this summer. I started the summer dead jealous of my mates who’d gone off to Europe and other places travelling for the college holidays. But at least I now have a healthy bank balance which is a contrast to the overdraft I had at the start of the summer break.

I started the summer with a cleaning job working in various Heathrow hotels. The work was really hard with a slave driving boss and really early morning starts. I take my hat off to the hard working people who do that work all year round.

But what I really wanted was a driving job as I’d passed my driving test during the previous academic year. So when a friend told me of an opportunity at Stansted airport I jumped at it. I became a valet, parking and retrieving cars for people in the maze of Stansted airport parking lots. This was a great job, giving me the opportunity to drive all sorts of fantastic cars. From fancy modern hybrids to some great sports cars and many people were really generous with their tips.

While working there I met a guy who was so impressed with my driving that he asked if I’d be interested in working for his car leasing firm. The money on offer was much more than I was earning as a valet and there was an excellent bonus scheme. So after only two weeks working as a valet I was off to yet another job. This time delivering cheap lease cars to customers throughout the south east.

I loved this job and my ex boss has said that there is a job there for me at Christmas and Easter if I want it. I enjoyed the work so much that I am now considering a career in the motor trade when I finish my degree. Definitely a summer well spent.
