Short term Leasing / buy back an Elise?

[gt3driver73]

Hi
I'd like to have an Elise for say 6 months, what's the best way to do this?
Thanks Alex

Buy one
Drive it
Sell it for what you bought it for (you might want to wait until spring to sell it to achieve a slightly better price, although the market is a bit nuts at the moment)

I think you'd have to buy a moderately old car to not suffer at least some depreciation, but yeah as long as you don't mind second-hand this is the right answer. Buy a five year-old car and I suspect your depreciation will be in the hundreds not thousands of pounds over six months. Buy a 15 year-old car and you may well get back what you paid for it.

Although if you insist on buying from and/or selling to a dealer rather than a private individual it will obviously increase your costs significantly.
