Seems a good deal!

Even with no deposit works out about the same price as the rgw a few of us have signed up for which was open to everyone.

Not sure how much this is for non nhs/emergency service.

Not as good as the a7 nhs deal from a few pages back.

Call your local dealer and ask how much the first service is.
Check on line for 2 front tyres if your driving style means you might need some.
The maintenance will also multiply by the same factor as the rest as your first months payment.
so if you're on 1+23, then yes - probably worth it.
if you're on a 12+23, probably not.

Hi

What was the RGW offer? Do you have a link please? Can't seem to find it on their site?

What did they say in re to delivery times?

Never leased from them before - assuming trusted party.

Cheers

Think we all phoned them as price wasnt on website. Most people spoke to ben or James, both very helpful.
Deal was 2year 3 plus 23 10k for 299. White only. Metallic added about 25 a month.

Lead time about 12 weeks

I had it offered for 35 a month. Who was it who offered 11? Not rgw?
For 11 a month possibly worth it. Service will be about 200 at a guess, and possibly 2 tyres.

Just fisted the fruit on the 2008e Peugeot in sunset orange metallic (free) on a 1+35 deal at 5k a year and with maintenance included for £308pm

It is the GT spec as well so plenty of gadgets

Maintenance is £16 and excess mileage is around 14ppm.

So 3 services plus a set of front tyres as expect to do about 24k overall.

Cheap fuel costs for 3 years, they waived the 300 arrangement fee

Kurt at Best car finder has been really good to deal with [e-mail]

Delivery delayed till jan 2021 for me.

GT Line, or GT? Big difference in spec...

GT Line is second in line to the GT. Active is poverty spec.

For 11 a month possibly worth it. Service will be about 200 at a guess, and possibly 2 tyres.

Would bite their hand off and that price for peace of mind, I was quoted around £30 too from RGW.

I thought first services on these and other Audi's were circa £400-£500 ? I've got an A4 on a 24 month I noticed yesterday 2 service count downs one for inspection and one for oil, they are all coming in at about the 20 month mark which is annoying. I thought service was set on date so 24 months but I got my car in Dec I didnt check the service count down then tbh or does the count down work on your driving style / types of journeys ?

I have a quote for a factory order A3 for my wife, just wondering people's thoughts. It's through Affinity, so not available to all unfortunately.

A3 Sportback Edition 1 35TFSI
Solid white
6k mpa
3+35
£228.97pm
£216 documentation fee

Seems a good bit better than anywhere else I can see out there. They are doing the S-line for about £18pm cheaper, but the wife wants the bigger wheels, heated seats and flat bottomed steering wheel!

I've just received some quotes on the new Octavia estate. They're a bit higher than I was hoping for so i'm going to hold off but may be useful for others...

SKODA OCTAVIA EST 1.5TSI SE TECH £212.90 6+23
SKODA OCTAVIA EST 1.5TSI SE L 1ST EDITION 6+23

Both 8k miles, energy blue, no additional fees. 7.2p excess miles

A8 first service at 18K miles was £379, so I doubt A5 will be that expensive. That was both oil and inspection. Oil service may come earlier if you do a lot of short trips. Otherwise, both will be at the same time.

If you are with VWFS, call them to confirm but you can get it serviced anywhere for much cheaper. Oil change on S6 quoted as £600 from Audi, full major service including oil change at Kwik fit £240. If you are on a 2 year and handing it back shortly no point wasting money if you are allowed external.

[sdh2903]

Our a4 flagged up Inspection and oil service at 20 months. If with vwfs then they stipulate audi main dealer only. Audi glasgow wanted 470 quid for first service! However they run a price match service so we got a quote for 195 from a local indy and they matched it.

Audi servicing is a rip off. First service on my last golf gti was 200 quid at vw main dealer.

Affinity or Motorfinity? I suspect it is the same company awyway. How long did it take them to get back to you?

In the same boat myself on this one. Great spec car but I've never had more than a 24 month lease (avoiding service, tyres) and the price goes up quite a bit on a 24 month term. Also had a factory order A5 Sportback at a really good price but the horrific broker fee (close to £400) really puts me off.

Good price. Inspection on the volvos is higher than the GDP of a small country.

Are you able to put a cherished plate on a lease car?

Affinity, motorfinity prices don't seem to be as good. Affinity have been getting back to emails within 24hrs.

Yes. Some companies will even allow to register it with private plate, some will require change after you get the car and there's a fee for it.
