Do you know what all is included in the 2 service pack? Is it both a minor and major? I thought nearly every brand was on a 2yr cycle now.

It’s basically an oil service and oil service plus inspection. The oil service is usually £179 I think outside the pack, so sub 300 for both is decent.

My Leon was 150 then 180 iirc. I only had to do the 2nd one as I extended into a 3rd year. Won’t need to do a 3rd

Also hoping to get away with the original tyres.

On my R, the two year service pack included the first two services (for info my first one came up as due at around 9500 miles).

Interesting, MINI & BMW have been on 2yr intervals for a long time.

I have a question for those who have completed a lease. Do you have to service the car just before handing it back? Most cars would be on an annual service plan, so a service would be due when you are to hand it back after 24 or 36 months.

VW have a 2 year service pack for £296 which isn't too bad and would be great if it was all we'd need to take out and not service it the month we're handing it back after 3 years.

You can buy a 2 yr/20,000 mile stand alone Service Plan from VW for £199. Covers you for a minor and major service (normally £488 for the pair) and when your second service is due,you can request to move onto Long Life Servicing for no extra charge which will effectively cover you for the full 3 years.

The current price is £296 from what I can tell, which is fine to be honest. If I’d have PCP or HP the car it would be £49.

There are other service intervals depending on how the car is used. Mostly motorway miles for example can be 2year 20k.

Previous Skoda was on fixed servicing, I’d it for 20 months and it was serviced once at 10k, cost £106. Current one will only need done once in the 2 years I have it according to the onboard service.

My dad has ordered an audi A6 sline lease but forgot to say he lived in NI and they will only deliver to a port what is easiest way to get the car from the port home ?

 

[DC.]

Go and get it.

 

[Philljdm]

Go and get it.

He doesn't want the hassle . Is there no way you can get it straight on the boat and pick up Belfast dock . He's happy to pay

 

[davyk31]

Yes speak to the ferry company. They should do unattended transport. Only issue could be if the lease company need someone to sign and accept the car before handing it over.

We are now on the lookout for another Karoq lease after more or less having it confirmed ours is a total loss. Found the same deal we have only £20 extra a month thanks to inflation etc. Great!

Bit of a nightmare but all I will say is thank goodness for GAP and ALA insurance who supplied it. Thanks to it, we will walk away from our current deal.

 

[Lyons]

What would’ve happened if you didn’t have GAP on a lease? Is it really an essential on 1 just?

 

[Coog]

VWFS get market value for the car and if it's less than what is outstanding on the car you get to pay the difference.

 

[Lyons]

Nightmare

 

[pablo]

which is usually high if its a cheap lease deal (you have paid off very little)

 

[Coog]

It's about £100 odd for a few years so not a huge amount in the grand scheme of things, just need to remember to get it.

 

[KyleR]

Who are you guys insured with? I’m just checking comparison sites at the moment and some are coming in a good 20% more expensive when I enter that I’m not the owner or registered keeper.

 

[pablo]

are you selecting lease company as owner/keeper?

 

[Dan.86]

mine was cheaper (renewed with same provider) on a more expensive and more powerful car. Lease didn't even enter into the price.

Same with my fiancée's.

 

[KyleR]

are you selecting lease company as owner/keeper?

Yes.

Asks who is the owner and I can select lease company and also asks who's the registered keeper and I can also select lease company.
