Tusker Case Study: Meet a member of the scheme

Colin Dart from Exeter University said: “I’d always wanted a new car, for reliability reasons, but hadn’t been able to justify the expense of a new car.

“When my employer told us about the Tusker scheme, it was attractive as it’s a fixed cost, so there aren’t any surprises. I needed something which would be reliable for my commute, as well as comfortable, and where I wouldn’t have to worry in the event that something went wrong.”
