As a guide for the tyres I had an Exeo TDI 140 ( previous Gen A4 with A6 front suspension) and the fronts lasted 30k and rears 50k. Mainly motorways and industrial estates, so unless you live in Milton Keynes, or somewhere else where you can expect more tyre wear I'd guess your tyres will still be legal at 20k.
If not, stick part worns on for the rest of the lease.

You will need 1 service before the 2 years is up. call the dealer and ask how much the first service is.

ETA : VWFS did this with my lease, £45 a month when original quote came through, I'm paying £22 for tyres and mainenance. Beware it will affet your excess mileage rate as well though.

Thanks for this. I think I will go for the service and maintenance but not tyres.

When I got A8 paperwork from VWFS, there's was an offer of £16 maintenance (without tyres) per month x23 = £368. It was not bad but depending on dealership, first service could be cheaper. Also 3 years service plan for A8 is £350.

I'm buying service plan, in case I keep the car for 3 year or clock more than 20K miles. Of course there was an issue with service plan and I was initially told it's only for factory order so quick email with link to Audi website sorted it and got the plan documents sent. There were similar issues 2 years ago with service plan for S8 when people were told it's excluded but it wasn't at the time (it is now).

Disadvantage of maintenance is higher excess miles charge, so it's not worth taking if someone expects or plan to exceed total contracted mileage.

Regareding tyres, I still have original tyres on Audi S8 at 20K miles, so average driver in standard Audi should achieve similar results. Unless of course someone is racing from every traffic lights and does 90-100% of city driving.

Hi,

Freedom have a stock offer on the Ford focus 1.5tdci, comes in at 5k for 2yrs, approx 28% of carwow quote.

Seems like a good deal, anyone seen any better deals for in stock family hatchbacks?

Thanks

Thinking of an Octavia as Cactus replacment, but 1.0/1.4/1.5 and Manual or DSG. Hmm! All seem to be sub £200pm amortised.

It’s the standard car with red paint. No extras.

Really? It's your job as the driver of a vehicle to make sure that all fluids are present and topped up if needed regardless of whether your lease has maintainence included or not.

I'm looking at Octavia estates too as a family load lugger, currently aiming for sub £200 amortised as well.

Anyone have any feedback on the current engine choices?

Whilst the VRS would be nice, the hefty deposit (£2400 for most) is off-putting.

Just got the same email. Some cracking deals there on the face of it.

I'm looking at Octavias too as a family hack. The Mrs is imposing a strict budget on it (hence the Alfa Veloce deal is dead in the water - gutting!) I've found this vRS 245 hatchback deal at Fleetprices which looks decent.

£186 per month on a £2k initial + 23 on 8k per year. Inc. VAT.

Ah - yes thanks.

Just spoke to unity - need to pull the trigger before the end of month.


At the same time there are potentially going to be some new deals for the new quarter ....


Really don't know what to do...

1.4 = Old engine, longer lead times

1.5 = New Engine, better economy with cylinder shutdown.

Same Power


I got the 1.5 TSI SE Tech at £180 I think, amortised, from Blade Skoda in Bristol (and free mats wink)
