This really p****s me off about company cars, its such a wasteful policy

to
throw away cars that are 3 years old.


They are hardly thrown away, they are sold and form the back bone of the

2nd
hand car market.


Which is why I'll never buy a secondhand car.


I reckon company cars should have a minimum life cycle of 10 years,

maybe
20.



Yep I know of one! Company car 15 years old, never missed a service, now got
280,000 on the clock. Utterly reliable, bodywork terrific so why get rid of
it?. Renault 25, my Dad uses it. Now retiring to Spain will pay the company
a fiver and take it with him!
