Do you have a company car?

Why do they pay a lower price after 200 miles?
I don't think that's very common.

Yes we do. It is a 2003 PT Cruise

Just curious. How many techs get a company vehicle. And if you do, is it nice, ok or a pos?

yes

Not at the moment, I broke mine.

2011 VW Jetta Turbo Diesel. I've been driving it for about 6 months now. Great MPG's, plenty of room for copier crap, and it's fun to drive. In sport mode it's hard to keep from smoking the tires. Very torquey.

I drive a Toyota 2013 Hiace, 'courier van' layout with the rear hardwood floor, with synthetic carpet on top. It is fitted with a modified wheelchair lift in the back. Roll machine on, lift up to van height, roll into the back and strap to the cargo barrier behind the front seats. Makes installation and pickups that much easier.

Can I brag that I get it for personal use as well? Not a very practical family car, but easily sleepable in the back if you need a place to crash.

Me and most of us have 2004 ford focus. Each one has their quirks. Mine vibrates loud compared to the other tech's focus. There are also about three pt cruisers and a couple of techs that drive the most got a new KIA sol. They have three more kia Sol they purchased, decaled up and have been parked for months with no one driving them for some reason.

Our lads drive the Ford Mondeo and the Focus both in the Titanuim trim and recently a few Hyundia's have been brought into the fleet and they too are nicely specked. All our engineers have fuel cards so no need to be out of pocket for fuel and all parking is re-imbursed.

Myself I drive a Audi A4 S-line special edition with 19inch alloys and lowered sport suspension.

2010 Toyota Yaris. Fuel card and fleet maintanance agreement with Toyota.

All my other expenses such as hotels, meals, parking and so on are reimbersed.

We get given a company car. Me and one other tech are driving a VW Caddy Turbo Diesel. Plenty of get up and go with the option to turn traction control off. 1 tech is given a Hyundai i30 turbo Diesel and the other drives his own car (reimbursed etc).

We have 1 other vehicle which stays at the office; It's a Mercedes Sprinter turbo Diesel with a raised roof. It's used for installs.

The caddy's are a decent car. Plenty of room in the back for parts. Can even fit a C280 without a base attached. Decent km/L (MPG for you yanks).

But sometimes I wish we had something sportier to drive. Like that blue commodore earlier. Or even the Audi A4 that someone mentioned. That'd turn heads and get our brand noticed wouldn't it?
