I dunno why anyone would spend 15 grand on a car.
You can get one for £300 that does the same job.

Pay £20k and get a decent car.
Buy cheap, buy twice.

You'll get an 06/07 ish Range Rover with 80-90k on the clock.
Missus has got an sport hse - had it a year and the residuals are really good but that type of motor comes with bills, so you need to work it all out or pay a bit more for one with all the work done or with a good warranty.
I got a Vogue SE and I much prefer that to the sport but I know a lot of people prefer the sport and Vogue residuals massively fluctuate.
X5's are decent and prices will start to come down with the new model being on the road for a bit now.
I had a Touareg on a 24 month lease deal which I thought was a bargain but with the deposit it still adds up to a fortune for something you give back but it is stress free motoring.
Depends what you want really - some residual cash left over and the ag of possible repairs and selling, or pay a fee and give it back.
IMO it don't get better than a Range.

do you think a lease company would have issues with a dog being in the car?
Was looking at a Range Rover Evoque works out £11k for 36 months

15K you're not going to get a great car. You might get an old great car but also with all the bills that come with it.
Plus, drive one first. I hated the thought of it but I've taken to mine (not an estate). Everyone who has been in it is surprised at how good it is.

I used to do a lot of work for Land Rover. The Evoque boot is tiny. I wouldn't be happy putting a dog in it, its closer to a small family hatch size (golf) than an estate / 4x4.

Also Al, take a look at the owner reviews rather than the expert reviews. 4.9 out of 5 is quite high for Autotrader.
I know people get hissy about the badge but it really isn't what it used to be.
However, you may have completely different ideas. Cars are down to personal taste I know.
PS I'm not a Skoda salesman so get something you want

Get a full protective mat and a cage if need be, spend the money protecting the boot fully, it will save you money at the end plus you can eBay it at the end of contract if it's not too ruined.
When the Touareg went back the inspector was good as gold but depends on who you get I guess.
Personally I'd do it and worry about it in 3 years time.
Looking at selling the sport soon and leasing the evoque too - the value in them only seems to be on the longer contracts, I'd prefer 24 months but 11k over 3 years isn't too bad- car is in warranty and the tax is covered.
