Company Car?

is there a company car or stipend? If so what are car options? Thank you

 

A really cool fully loaded Smart Car

 

Any options on rim sizes?
Anyone know if the smart car will accept 20-22" wheels?

 

Company car and it changes every year. 2016 has not been announced yet but 2015 were Subaru, Prius, Camry, and a few others. Pretty standard mid sized cars. Only have to pay tax on miles driven which is a GREAT deal if you don't drive a ton.

 

You get a Jeep Grand Cherokee or a Ford Explorer. It gets replaced every 30,000 miles

 

Don't believe this. Neither of them on the list and cars are replaced every 60k miles.

 

B.S. The car is NOT free. The personal miles add up quickly. I pay quite a bit-more than I did at my other Company.

Car choices are super lame here.

 

Altima
Passat
Outback
Malibu
Regal

 

Then go out and buy your own car, make the payment, pay for gas and insurance. Stop complaining, it is a GREAT deal.

 

I think the 2016 choices are awesome!!! They are some of the best in the industry, plus very low cost to drive if you don't put on a ton of personal miles.

 

I completely agree. At my last company you got to choose between an Escape or Fusion and that was it. When I came here and saw 7 different selection options, I couldn't believe it. Plus, I have been here several years now and our out of pocket cost is MUCH lower than any other company where I have worked. We are only paying taxes on the personal miles driven, which is significantly lower than the $50-$100 a paycheck that most other companies charge. If you own another family car, you know how lucky we are to have this type of benefit. I drive a brand new company vehicle, with a $32,000 price tag and I only pay $600-$800 a year...that's a tremendous deal, if you ask me.

 

Very well said. I agree.

 

Then do what others do and just use it for work and buy a personal car for yourself. Problem solved.

 

Please you stupid over paid reps. $800 dollars are year for a new car + insurance + gas is nothing!

We in R&D get shit you little whiney bitches!

 

Maybe if you losers would actually research a d develop something you could get a car too, whiney little research and don't develop shit!

 

I disagree. They need more SUV's, and I pay quite a bit for personal use--probably $150 a month-more than my previous 2 companies.

 

I think 3 SUV's on the 2016 selection is awesome. And you are complaining about spending $150 per month on a brand new car? Try making the payment, insurance and gas. We are VERY fortunate to have such a great benefit.

 

I agree. I think I pay, at Amgen, close to $200 a month. It's not a free car at all. Yes, I'm happy to have it, but it's more costly than other Companies car plans.
