Personal lease figures need VAT adding to them, or if you want a company just for this then you need VAT registration so you need to turning over 50k ish.
Leasing is also only OK if the car you want holds its value, so you don't really get so much choice.

Humorous but not at all daft!!!
Way I see it:
My house is worth maybe £25k more than when I bought it 18months ago, I could in theory remortgage & have a £25-£30k car for £100/month......over 25years (in increased repayments), but in reality the house will be sold on & other mortgage deals signed in the next say 2-3yrs anyway so the car-emortgage could be pretty much washed under the carpet in no time at all!! Kinda like my house bought me a car

You have £25k equity whichever way you look at it. If you remortgage you are in exactly the same position as if you bought your house now not 18 months ago.
Depends if you would want to take on your current flat for 25k more than you had to buy with last year. Personally if I add 25k to the price of mine it makes it far too expensive and I wouldn't have bought it!

u do get taxed wot ever. vat is added to goods and services if vat registered. u have to be vat registered if ur company earns over 60k a year.
u can't setup a company just to run a car off it. the company would look like its making a loss each year, making it insolvent. if ur clearing that kind of money a month be sensible overpay ur mortgages then retire early
