Lease costs will be less, its the exact same thing my company has gone through, ditching Vauxhalls for BMW and Audi. Cheaper to lease if based on whole of life costs.

If it is fleet hire, it'll be the same reason why many car manufacturers have employee schemes, they actually make money from the sale of the vehicle on its return due to the tax write-off.
My old company ditched company cars and gave people that were entitled to a company car an allowance instead, this saved the company hundreds of thousands £££
From what I can see leasing a Jag is twice as much as a Ford Mondeo, Road Tax, Insurance, Servicing and Fuel will be much more as well

Captain gave us a good example of how a Jag depreciates.
I had a BMW M3I have an S-Type and I bought it second hand when it was 3 years old, it cost over £28k new I got it for £7k with full service history and only 50,000 on the clock. So yes depreciation was huge.
Services Costs were just under £800
New set off boots £800
Replacement Wing Mirrors £800 (they were stolen)
And deprecated around 8-10k over 2 years
Ford Galaxy
Services Costs between £180 - £250
New set off boots £400
Over the 2 years I had it so far it’s deprecated at about £3k
The government on one hand tell us how much the nation is in debt and all the cutbacks that need to be put in place and on the other hand public sector people can drives around in flash prestige cars.
If I was £££’s in debt and couldn’t afford the mortgage repayments but driving around in a flashy car I would be seen to be living beyond my means
Don't know. Have seen plenty of doctors with removable blue lights and I am pretty certain their cars are privately owned. Again stickers are magnetic and can easily be removed.
Lets be honest here, do you think one jag is gonna mate a difference to the debt? No really, They probably done a deal with the hire company and who ever was in charge of it didn't bother there arse to look into servicing costs!
doctors are not allowed blue lights, they have green ones, only emergency response are allowed blue lights

many NHS employees have company cars
they get given a set amount of money then choose what car they want
treat em like shite then trade them in 2 years down the line

The NHS is the 3rd largest employer in the world - define "many".
