Welcome to GWA Cars and Finance, GWA Cars & Finance is an independent company specialising in the sale and financing of new and used cars and vans in Chichester, West Sussex and the UK.

If advice on how to drive safely in the fog and to add £1,500 to the value of your car wasn’t enough, Gary and I, the GWA sages as we’re becoming known, have got some information on how to save money when buying a company car.

So, how do you pay less tax when choosing a company car? You go green and buy a car with low carbon dioxide emissions. As long as it is an electric car or has CO2 emissions of not more than 110gm per km, is new and unused and was registered on or after 17 April 2002, businesses of any size can claim a 100% first-year allowance on capital expenditure on a car.

All of which means more money in your pocket. GWA Cars & Finance can source and provide the finance for electric and low-emissions cars, a range that could include new models from a BMW-Toyota joint venture, which it is rumoured, would marry German diesel engines to Japanese hybrid technology. In the meantime, BMW is set to launch its new BMW 5 Series ActiveHybrid in Feburary next year.

Talking of BMWs, we have a couple of great models on the GWA forecourt at the moment – a 2005 BMW Z4si 2.5 SE Roadster Auto for £6,995 and a 2010 BMW X5 xDrive 35d M Sport Auto for £42,995.
