			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You are only allowed to take your vehicle out of the UK if it meets the criteria of a direct or <a title="Direct Export Scheme" href="http://customs.hmrc.gov.uk/channelsPortalWebApp/channelsPortalWebApp.portal?_nfpb=true&amp;_pageLabel=pageLibrary_ShowContent&amp;id=HMCE_CL_000155&amp;propertyType=document">personal export scheme</a>.&nbsp; If the vehicle is being purchased under the direct export scheme, it cannot be used on UK roads prior to being taken abroad.&nbsp; You will not be required to pay the vehicle first registration fee or the vehicle&rsquo;s taxes.</p>
<p>Local DVLA offices which handle direct export schemes are located in the cities of Wimbledon, Northampton, Chelmsford, and Birmingham.&nbsp; Either the applicant or the manufacturer should return the correct portion of the V308 (direct export certificate) to the DVLA once the vehicle has been exported.</p>
<p>You can operate a vehicle in the UK under the personal export scheme, but only for a limited time prior to exporting it to another country outside of the EU (European Union).&nbsp; You must be a UK resident or an international visitor in the UK who intends to reside for six months outside of the UK.&nbsp; As a UK resident, you are allowed to use it outside the country for a period of up to six months.&nbsp; However, the vehicle will still have to be taxed.</p>
<p>You can take care of any vehicular personal export schemes at DVLA offices located in the cities of Wimbledon, Stockton, Oxford, Norwich, Northampton, Manchester, Maidstone, Lincoln, Leeds, Glasgow, Chelmsford, Bristol, Birmingham, and Beverley.&nbsp; For more information regarding this issue, you should contact your local area DVLA office or visit their website.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here in the UK we are made to feel bad for driving, which is why many people are put off from enjoying the whole driving experience and why we have such a poor choice of cars to buy. If you visit other countries around the world like Germany, Italy and the USA you will soon see how much choice is available, from fast and exciting sports cars to the top of the range&nbsp; cars which offer lots of comfort and style, most of which are just not available from your dealership here in the UK.</p>
<p>The main reason for this is because the majority of cars that are made abroad are originally designed and built for left hand drive and to be sold to the UK the designs have to be converted to right hand drive and made specifically for us, hence the high price.</p>
<p>If you have a taste for the exotic there are ways to get hold of cars that you normally don&rsquo;t see on the forecourt, you can visit a <a title="Left Hand Drive Vehicles London" href="http://www.left-hand-drive.com/">left hand drive vehicles London</a> dealership, which specialise solely in left hand drive cars and have an extensive range of vehicles for sale as well as large range available to order. On top of that when using a specialist dealer you can have peace of mind that all require paperwork and documents will be completed by people who have extensive knowledge and experience in this confusing area. You can also have your new car either securely or safely delivered to yourself at home or to the <a title="Left Hand Drive Vehicles London" href="http://www.left-hand-drive.com/">left hand drive vehicles London</a> dealership.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>SEAT can provide great benefits to any business or personal leasing deal. The company offers various models that are stylish and modern.

<p>Depending on your needs, there are several models available to choose from in SEAT’s line-up of cars. Its smallest car, the Ibiza hatchback, is ideal for young people and those living within the city. The <a href="http://www.seat.co.uk/generator/su/com/newLeon/site/start/main.html">SEAT Leon</a> is distinguishable by its gorgeous look along with its practicality, which makes it a popular five-door hatchback sports coupe. Meanwhile, those who are looking for a much larger car to carry the entire family and a bunch of friends, the SEAT Altea or SEAT Altea XL might suit their needs. These models might not look big on the outside but they offer a spacious and comfortable cabin inside. The SEAT Toledo is another popular model that is suitable for those who travel with many passengers. Moreover, SEAT also offers the Alhambra, the most sought-after SEAT model by families and taxi drivers, as well as anyone who needs to carry many people in comfort.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Whether you are looking to buy new DVLA number plates as a bit of fun from a few hundred pounds or whether you want to make a statement with <a title="Cherished Number Plates" href="http://www.dvlaregistrations.direct.gov.uk" target="_blank">cherished number plates</a> that can cost around the £250,000 mark, the process is not as difficult as many think. There is an extensive range of cheap private number plates millions in fact; these include some which date as far back to 1903. These are the most desirable original cherished number plates and because these are such desirable private number plates, they are usually the most expensive number plates as they are so rare.  Buyers like these because they have the letters before the number which can be a single one 1 up to 9999.</p>
<p>Another group of private cherished plates is the reversed combination which starts with the numbers first followed by the letters as an example 6874 RH, or 184 JBM. Although these are still an expensive registration plate they are not as costly as the ones with letters first. Numbers up to 999 are used for 3 letter plates and numbers up to 9999 for the 2 letter combinations. This style is usually slightly less valuable than the original cherished marks.</p>
<p>If your budget does not stretch to these expensive style registration marks why not consider cheap DVLA Registrations, examples of this include registrations like X15 JBH or F8 GHT. These numbers can be very cheap to buy from as little as £160 plus VAT and can be transferred to you in just a few days. Many customers actually invest in these number plates for the future by holding on to them with a V750 Certificate of Entitlement. The DVLA have millions of numbers for use as a cherished number plate available online or through auctions.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a title="Car Leasing" href="http://www.conceptvehicleleasing.co.uk/">Car leasing companies</a> have an array of different finance methods for the convenience of hirers. These methods are suitable for both personal and business leases.</p>
<p>Contract Hire is a lease that includes a fixed monthly rate for a certain term and a limited mileage. The cost may vary depending on the value of the car, the period and the mileage, as well as the anticipated depreciation in value. Sometimes, companies bundle these deals with an optional maintenance package. </p>
<p>The Contract Purchase is actually a rent-to-own arrangement with a fixed monthly rate. Customers that use this method are usually persons or companies that invest in and eventually gain ownership of the car without taking the depreciation risks normally associated with ownership. Similar to <a title="Car Contract Hire" href="http://blog.conceptvehicleleasing.co.uk/">Contract Hire</a>, a maintenance package is available with a contract purchase.</p>
<p>Another method is Lease Purchase or Hire Purchase. The monthly payment is determined by the deposit paid, the period of the contract and the sale price of the vehicle. It is similar to Contract Purchase, where the vehicle becomes the property of the hirer, but the monthly rate may vary according to agreement.</p>
<p>The Finance Lease is an option that allows the hirer to pay either the whole cost of the vehicle over an agreed term, or with a lower monthly rate, with the final payment based on resale value.</p>
<p>Some companies have the Sale-and-Lease-Back option, which allows a person to own a vehicle outright, purchased from the leasing company, by means of transferring capital to a contract hire or leasing agreement.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When companies are purchasing new fleet vehicles, they very rarely use traditional methods that may of been used in the past such as buying the car out right from a dealership which can be an expensive and risky way to purchase a new vehicle or Hire purchase which is how most people tend to acquire a car. </p>
<p>Most companies will now make use of the great deals and low monthly repayments that car leasing company’s can offer. Leasing a car or van usually has a 2 or 4 year contract although shorter contracts can be agreed you might pay slighter more on your monthly repayments.</p>
<p>There are many options for a company wishing to lease a car that will need to be made and these choices will also reflect in the monthly repayment.<br />
Contract Hire without maintenance which is the most common option that leaves you servicing the vehicle and making sure it is safe to drive. <br />
With the rising costs of servicing cars a few companies are taking the option of contract hire with maintenance this gives the company an accurate fixed monthly repayment and leaves them free to walk away at the end of the lease contract.</p>
<p>Contract purchase is where the company will pay the car over a period of time i.e. the lease period.  You can often agree lower monthly repayments and then pay of the outstanding value at the end of your contract but you’ll end up paying slightly more interest this way.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yes there is a difference here, with contract hire your vehicle is leased to your for a set amount of time whether it be 1 year or 2 years for a set monthly re payment and pre agreed mileage allowance. Servicing and maintenance is often included with this contract hire and you will hand your car back when the lease expires.</p>
<p>With leasing a car you are responsible for the upkeep of the vehicle so any repairs or servicing that needs to be done, you will pay for or your company. Often with leasing you are given the opportunity to purchase the vehicle at the end of the lease.</p>
<p>What do PCH and PCP stand for; these are types of Personal Contract Hire and Personal Contract Purchase for a private individual who likes the idea of a fixed monthly repayment plan.</p>
<p>If you’re running a company you will also be able to claim varied amounts of vat back on any leased or contract hire cars that you run.</p>
<p>Prices for monthly repayments will vary from company to company but a good rule of thumb is that a car with a lower depreciation value will have lower monthly repayments.</p>
