Metallic paint essential on a lease car?

Suppose if you want it on the car you drive everyday without wanting to look like a white aldi chavplater.

It depends on miles but if you are on course then half the monthlies was what I was told when looking to order an estate earlier this year.

The only things I deem essential that are missing from the standard spec are rear parking sensors, privacy glass and metallic paint. It cost me £5.50 per month extra (£143) for metallic paint and £5 per month extra (£130) for privacy glass which I thought were reasonable.

Everyone raves about the virtual cockpit but for £1400 it is a steep addition to a lease, the standard sat nav is fine.

Isn't virtual cockpit the whole instrument dial showing nav? I have standard new s- line Q7 and didn't spec it. I still get nav in the instrument cluster albeit small and in the middle.

Seems fine to me, I must say after coming from a M5 the tech in the Audi is fab.

What are you thinking of sending back? I would consider taking it over depending on the terms. Feel free to PM me with details.

I've just agreed to lease an M140i (after my missing out on a Golf R). I have agreed to 3+23 @£318 a month. Hopefully that's a reasonable deal.

Just got to wait for an actual delivery date now - having never leased a car before and getting burnt on the Golf I really hope this one doesn't go the same way.

As an aside I've watched a few videos on Youtube of people testing the M140i and I'm starting to worry that I'm going to put it sideways into a ditch. Anyone got a rear wheel drive car with a big engine, am I being daft?

Share a link please, as that's a good price.

RWD - you'll be fine. Just drive it normally.

[PeteinSQ]

I got it through Vehicle Savers. I don't think I can send a link as they don't have up to date deals on their website yet.

[PeteinSQ]

It was for 10k miles p.a. too.

You will be fine as long as you drive to the conditions around you.

Be aware that you will find it quite east to break traction in damp/wet conditions.

Remember Clarkson on TG on the M135i...

I've had an M135i for the last few years. It can 'twitch' a little and not always when you're expecting it to in the wet, but you'd have to be pretty ham fisted to end up in a ditch if you leave the traction control on, or at least leave it 'eventually on' (Sport+).

Not the easiest car to learn to slide around in if that's what you're into though.

[PeteinSQ]

Those numbers aren't quite as good as the ones they quoted me and that I agreed to so it would be worth phoning them I think.

I didn't specify any extras btw.

That's the one yeah - fully digital, customisable instrument cluster. It's a great feature but the problem is on a lot of models Audi force you to add the Technology Pack as well and then the price shoots up to a level that most people would deem unacceptable on a lease car.

One of those cars that is really good up to 8 or 9 10ths

It needs a LSD for proper sideways action

VWFS don't let private individuals take over leases, only companies.

T=Planning on leasing my daughter a car when she turns 17 for her to pass her test in and drive for 2-3 years whilst she does her A-levels and goes off to Uni (hopefully). Looking for an auto as IMHO manual gearboxes will be consigned to the history books over the next 5 years and learning in an auto is both easier and safer.

Found this whilst trawling CH&L

https://www.contracthireandleasing.com/car-leasing...

Smart ForFour 1.0 Prime Premium Plus auto.

Comes with all the kit they do and I've just had a quote for < £500 a year fully comp to insure it in her name, with a provisional license, with me as a named driver.

£1000, and 35 x £120 inc VAT, 8K miles pa. So basically £5k over 3 years and 24k miles.

My mrs could potentially lease it through her company.
