Actually more a finance musing.....
Most are sold +VAT, so clearly owned by companies.
Am looking at Kombis, which are vans for VAT purposes if payload >1 tonne (so T32) and so the co can claim the VAT back and 100% capital allowance in the first year.
But they are cars for Benefit in Kind so whopping for tax purposes - so the only way it makes sense for these to stlll be business-related is for all to be T32's and for there to be no personal use whatsoever. Which is, to put it mildly, unlikely. Or else people are happy paying full BIK costs, though usually most opt for co. car payment instead - and so they won't be available s/h as +VAT.
So, the question - are people buying (esp non-T32's) through companies and paying either no BIK or van only on the basis that they can claim ignorance, or feel they won't get caught - or am I missing something?
I just don't understand quite why there are so many s/h that are +VAT. It makes no sense!!
