The companypays for up to ￡400 of accessories, of the salesmen’s own choice to be fitted to the cars and all of the runningcosts, including private petrol. The cars are replaced every three years and the ‘old’ cars are sold at auction,because they are high mileage vehicles.The low emission cars it is proposed to purchase will have the same list price as the current cars, but the dealeris only prepared to offer a bulk discount of 5% on these vehicles.
