Any fleet managers out there??
Have just inherited management of the company fleet.. Along with a brief from the MD to revise the car policy completely.. in the next two weeks, with new price break points for different grades, possibly reduce the range of vehicles available to choose from, give new guidance on maximum CO2 levels etc etc etc
Bearing in mind we dont lease anything, they are all purchased outright..
And given that we have an entire dept of people who work on sustainability, regeneration etc, the more green we are, the better..
We have a real mixture of cars:
BMW 320d touring
SAAB 9-3 conv.
3 x Toyota Prius hybrid
2 xToyota Corrola 2.0d
Toyota Avensis 1.8 T3
Mazda 6 2.0d
2 x Mazda 3 1.6d
Rover 75 tourer
Rover 75 saloon
3 x Rover 25 2.0td
1 x Rover 45 2.0td
Audi A6 1.9tdi SE
Audi A4 1.9tdi Sport
Audi A3 1.9tdi
Volvo V50 2.0d
3 xSeat Leon 1.9tdi
Seat Altea 1.9tdi
Renault Megane coupe 2.0
Mitsubishi L200 Animal 2.5tdi
We do want to introduce a better consistency, and reduce the manufacturers available to staff.
BMW, Audi top depreciation figures, but expensive in the first place
Rover dead now, yippee
Seat seem to be a fair balance of reliability (so far) and cost likely to remain in the shortlist I think, especially at the lower levels
Toyota and Mazda have all been ok.. bland image among staff though
Etc etc
Why should we continue to pay a premium for Audi / BMW I need to justify this in detail
Why do we not buy Ford/Vauxhall, given they are the most successful fleet motors again, cos theyre nasty isnt going to cut it.
I am only just starting this have a mountain of documentation to plough through am looking for a consistent authoritative source of data re: ppm running costs, depreciation etc etc. I have a magazine called the cost but I dispute some of the figures for example it reckons a 4yr old 80000 mile BMW 320dSE touring 6pd EiV will be worth just £6800.. Whereas a quick scout on Autotrader puts this nearer £10,500! I am a little dubious as to what figures to trust..
I cant be the only one doing this kind of research can anyone help with sources, justifications?! I would love to be able to justify Audi, but have to be professional about it!!
