For those of you on a budget I don't think servicing is included. Check but if it isn't It's annual or every 12000 and it isn't cheap. The first service is a big one, mine was £940, second was 600 , I don't know to much about leasing but I assume if you have the car for 2 years it has to go back with services completed .
Servicing is not included, unless you pay extra for a 'maintained' lease car.
Yes, servicing will need to be kept up to date and normally only by a main dealer, but on a 2yr lease only 1 service is often required since the car can be returned a few days/weeks early if need be, or the first service done a bit late.

I'm thinking the extra £17/month for the bi xenons is worth it on the basis I'm not sure I like the look of the standard light
Just be mindful that 'only' £17/month is actually (9+23)x£17 = £544

An explanation re: different prices at Unity Oxford...

...the cheaper prices are for cars registered before 31st March (i.e. before VED rates increase). The prices I quoted in the OP are for cars delivered from 1st April. Thought I'd messed up the figures for a brief moment!

Guess the question is, anyone managed to get a stock car? biggrin
So some cars are in stock then. Good news for those wanting it ASAP.

Alpine A110? Lotus Evora? the Lotus is more comfortable, drives better, easier to live with.
None of which are available to lease for similar money sadly.

Alfa dictates/advises that the first service (and every two years) involves bolt tightening on the carbon tub. The actual cost seems to vary from dealer to dealer, but budgeting something around the £800-£900 seems to be about right. My car had covered 1000 miles at the first service so I just insisted on an oil change and I'll have the bolt tightening done once the miles actually warrant(i.e. next year once there may be a chance for the bolts to actually loosen!) I'm not sure how this would be looked on if a car was leased, however.
Bolt relaxation is time dependant not mileage.

Hi, Do you know - is this deal still available if you already have a quote? Thank you, Ben
Usually a quote is not sufficient to guarantee a car.
Did you sign an order form?

You also need to factor in the lease price will rise if you spec the car up from the base model, you can't theoretically modify a lease car, any damage at the end of the lease you will need to repair or be charged for, a couple of kerbed wheels and some heavy scratches if you get them can be costly . It's a myth to think you can hand it back after 2 years having abused it.
I'm not sure who's said the car can be abused, but there is a fair wear and tear document that clearly sets out the costs, which to my eyes is often very reasonable.

I know it's not fair to compare a PCP to a PCH however the figures do, in hindsight and in comparison, look much too good to be true.
(
There are many examples in the main lease thread where PCH is much cheaper than PCP.
A PCH 20-25% of RRP is quite common.

A baby one perhaps but it would run rings around previous 'supercars' I've had, or at least that's the impression it gave after test drive
A baby supercar is called a sports car. smile
