If a job offers a company car allowance of 3k a year, which can either be used to get a car or will gavie it as a cash alternative....

 

is it worth using to get a car? if yes, what is a good car in that budget? It would need to have 4 seats and be a manual - other than that I am completely open to suggestion.

I have a Mazda 3 ts2 which is about the same size of a Focus.

For the money its a good alround car with pleanty of features:

6 disc in dash auto changer, climate, 8 airbags,abs,traction bla bla bla

Thanks for the tip, would it fit in that 3k allowance? I'm not sure how it works (hence the thread).

Im not sure how you work out what car value you get. My previous car allowance was £450 a month, and that got me a car to value of around £20k

 

I had a company car for about a year, but decided the cash was much better for me and took the extra in my pay packet instead. There are tax implications to taking a company car also.
