another point is that a lot of the suggestions about the value of a company car sort of assume that you'd otherwise be paying that cost yourself.
Most people I know with company cars wouldn't have bought one of those same cars had it not been provided, so you can't necessarily consider it to be saving you $20k (or whatever amount its worth) per year.
The real value of a company car is going to be different for every person. Its got less to do with the price of the car you're offered than the value of the car you would otherwise have been driving, and the fuel you would otherwise have been buying. So best do your sums and work out based on the km's that you do how much you'll be saving...
