Take car allowance or drive company vehicle?

[markio26]

my son used to have a company car until 2 yrs ago... he did not want to change... then he decided to take the money.. he now owns a jeep cherokee, and a ford probe, he alternates which vehicle he will drive to work and enjoys it more... no more worrying about the kids staining the seats in the car, he can smoke in his car, etc.. i don't know what his allowance is, he just got promoted last tuesday, so, it has increased... i think it used to be $1200... a month.. or $12000 a yr.. in a lump sum...

I would definitely take the car allowance, and being frugal I would opt for an economy car and keep whatever was left over. But, that's just me.
