Post by: Rat Catcher on November 30, 2019, 02:17:43 pm: Price very much depends on the quality of shitebox supplied, anything from €130 to €250 using your own insurance. I don't know any renters in the west, maybe contact one of the local dispatch firms, they'd know.

Post by: Rat Catcher on November 30, 2019, 02:53:23 pm: Heard of a lad paying that to a Chinese mob, DM. It might be a rent to buy scheme, not 100%... I was just throwing out the range I've heard of. When I last rented (2014) I think I paid €140/week for a clapped out Octavia... it done the job and no more!

Is Bobo a firm of immigrants, Lizzy?
