Handing the Zoe back

Mines now on a low loader on it's way to god knows where.
All in all it's been a very cheap and pleasant 2 years. The hand back process was also very easy and fair.
Would I have another ZOE though? No.
Compared to the Kia and the Leaf they are a nasty, plasticky, cheap little box with a pretty face.
I would have been happy to have another, for another 2 years, on the same dealAll in all it's been a very cheap and pleasant 2 years. The hand back process was also very easy and fair.

Not me, but puts the £8.5K that they wanted for me to keep mine (64 plate, 20k miles) into perspectiveSomeone has been buying a few used zoe's. anyones from here?
Mine was inspected over a week ago and collection was supposed to happen a few days after but didn't.
The inspector picked up on a couple of things:
- needed a valet
- scuffed alloy
- door dent
- dents in driver's door sill where (I guess) the seatbelt had not retracted and the door been shut
- badge on front peeling
The first 3 I agree with, even though the door dent is very difficult to see it is over the size acceptable so fair enough. The dents in the sill are not something that anyone would notice of ever fix so I am loath to pay £170 to fix them.
Has anyone had any success in arguing with Manheim? The car has a lot less miles than it could have if that helps.

Well the badge is a "they all do that sir" issue so you're clear on that one. I took mine for a wash and gave the interior a good vac and clean, you should've done the same!
The other ones are being assessed against the bvrla guidelines so you're at the mercy of RCI taking action, or not. Take good photos of the damage and keep your fingers crossed.

2 weeks to end of my contract, still no contact from Mannheim. Car was washed last week in readiness for the inspection but is getting dirty again. I'm 600 miles over my 16k allowance and trying not to add more to it. As it's 8k a year but I have it for more than a year I'm ok to go over in proportion to the extra time?

Oh I am bag to rights on it needing a good clean, no problems on that one! I am going to ring them tomorrow and see what we can agree. I have already told them about my charge for a missed collection appointment The other ones are being assessed against the bvrla guidelines so you're at the mercy of RCI taking action, or not.

Interesting post about the car only fetching £2k at auction, I am seriously considering bidding on it anyway at £2k it would be a no brainer even with the battery lease.

Inspection day today.
As some other have said, it was quite fair and the only issue they had was a back to metal scratch in the door jam where a belt buckle got caught after the belt didn't retract in time.
I was a little surprised at being let off for quite a few pock marks / very slight crease in the rear bumper (noted but deemed fair wear and tear).
All in all, £40 is not a bad result after 2 years of carting the kids around.

Worth giving them a ring, I got my bill down from almost £500 to £140 after getting them to ignore the door jam scratches (also belt buckle related) no arguing required they were very helpful.

Letter today from RCI
The excess mileage charge only seems to have been applied to the car, not the battery. I was expecting 12ppmile. The option to pay in installments is decent too.
Can't argue with that really.
I think to get the really cheap deals the battery lease was on a longer time period or something like that so it may catch up with you later.The excess mileage charge only seems to have been applied to the car, not the battery.

Got my invoice today
£77.70 for the dinged door and £70.17 for the excess miles + VAT £161.90, OK with that
They are chasing me for the £50 for the battery rental due from the expiry of the PCP on the car - I cancelled the DD due to the delay in Renault being able to collect the car
I don't expect to pay it

That was the argument I had saved, the Manheim auction collection condition warned there was a fee for cancellation if you were not in when they came to collect, they did not collect when I expected them and one sided contracts are illegal etc....£77.70 for the dinged door and £70.17 for the excess miles + VAT £161.90, OK with that
