Christ, daylight robbery.
I've a 1 Series lease ending in June and have been meaning to phone Arval about a 12 month extension, I won't be getting my hopes up for a constructive discussion on the subject if what you've posted is the rule rather than an exception
Zen are a funny one. I asked for an extension quote and it was higher and they said it would only increase further the longer I leave it. Other companies seem to work the other way around. I had an extension from areal that was about 30% cheaper than the currently monthlies.I've a 1 Series lease ending in June and have been meaning to phone Arval about a 12 month extension, I won't be getting my hopes up for a constructive discussion on the subject if what you've posted is the rule rather than an exception

I’m with Novuna (was Hitachi) for my 69 reg Mercedes GLC 220d. I took 3 years and when it came to an end it had already in the contract that I can extend upto 12 months on a 30 day rolling basis at the same monthlies as previous. Quick email to them confirmed it and I know I MUST give it back in September this year… booo! £377 a month currently!ferguson9 said:
Hey, I'm new to leasing after owning my Audi A3 for 10 years so hoping for some help. I've found this deal, which I think looks good and I can't seem to find better elsewhere but hoping for your expert advice.
Audi A5 Hatchback
35 TDI S Line 5dr S Tronic [2023]
Diesel
Payment profile: 9 + 47
Maintained:No
Contract length:48 months
Annual mileage: 5,000 miles
Initial payment: £3,369.51 inc VAT (9 months)
Followed by 47 payments of: £374.39 inc VAT
Arrangement fee: £294.00 inc VAT
Thanks
I would wait if you can for prices to reduce, it’s a pretty awful deal, the longer terms should be much cheaper. In 2019 these vehicles were around £230 and near £200 for sport trim and that was with 10k miles. With 5k miles it would be sub £200 probably, so you get an idea of the huge difference. The price here is even more than the A6 should be also and that’s a bit more car for your money. The 35TFSI is awful on fuel though in my opinion of coming from a diesel, it barely gets 40mpg. Your milage should be fine, just take your car out for a long drive every now and then - a family member has the same engine on a 3 year old Q3 with only 14k miles, no issues. Other than that, it’s a great car. Audi A5 Hatchback

Thanks for your reply, that's really helped me think about my next step. I obviously knew prices had risen (as with everything else) but didn't realise they had risen so much. I think I'm going to see if I can get a bit more out of my current Audi A3 before going for anything else and putting that £350 per month on something more useful ferguson9 said:

I have 12 months left on an A4 Black Edition and I'm considering dropping out of leasing and buying something 2 or 3 years old. Unless there's kick ass deals floating about and delivery times under a year.

A4/A6 where sub 6 months last year on factory builds for diesel and sub 4 months for petrol. Hybrid was and is the crazy leadtime variant. If your leasing with VWFS they have a direct "sales" arm for retentions now that may have "loyalty" offers. You'll get a call around a month before time factory leadtime matches your contract end date.I have 12 months left on an A4 Black Edition and I'm considering dropping out of leasing and buying something 2 or 3 years old.

Dilemma
Vwfs offered extension for another year for current a6 avant 2020 c8 - 13k miles annum for £194 p/m includes road tax and breakdown via audi aa.
— still losing about 3k on diesel per year vs electric car as can charge free at work
Had testdriven Tesla model Y rwd and loved it except:
- Indicators are taken from bmw x5 2015-2019 years where it doesn’t stay town once pushed down.
- No sensors so enhanced autopilot only works half what advertised as summon or smart summon or smart parking wont work without sensors.
- no waze or 3rd party apps to warn you of speedcameras or copper in van. Especially worrying that autopilot / cruise control doesn’t react half of time of new speed limit and you may end up with few points on your license.
- phantom breaking or phantom accelerating still is an issue so watch out when driving in dark
- matrix headlights hardware is there but software is lacking vs equal german level of matrix technology. You will constantly will be flashed with them on
- still no 6/7 seat option for mY only 5 seats available
PS suspension and seats were super contortable , so not sure why people bashing suspension or seats on these. Also sound system was amazing, not far off levels of Mercedes Burmester what I had on e220d 17 plate
/// noticed few deals on model y rwd for about £530 with 5 k miles on 1+47 (and just pay mileage penalty at the end at approx 13p a mile) — as I can charge for free at work, Ill save about 3k on diesel per year.
Anyone bought model y and worrying for its value after 4 years?
There could be had 45k loan for 8 % apr so I’m wondering if tesla model y will lose approx 3-4k per year in value?

Can only speak for VW, but this was the answer I got when I asked this question last week to a dealer in the midlandsI have 12 months left on an A4 Black Edition and I'm considering dropping out of leasing and buying something 2 or 3 years old. Unless there's kick ass deals floating about and delivery times under a year.
"high spec/performance/hybrids are over 12 months, most T-Rocs, Tiguans and Golfs are now 12-16 weeks. They are also hoping on some decent deals in april
My hubby has extended his lease until end of September for £211 a month. Skoda Octavia was originally on a 24month plus 3 months upfront £235 a month including maintenance. The new quote included maintenance but it was £75 of the cost. When he challenged it they said the price was the same with or without. Felt like we didn’t have a choice at the moment.
I’ve given up on my search for a lease and have ordered an electric Audi through nhs salary sacrifice.
