Leasing - General Discussion
Discussion
My car delivery was due tomorrow 26th but when i asked for an update yesterday, they said the supplier told them its still at sea.
Does this mean i have a minimum wait of 2 weeks by the time it goes through checks/ paperwork etc ?
As its a lease does it still need to go to a dealer before the supplier can deliver ? or do the leasing company just get it direct ?
This is my first lease so not sure what to expect about delivery time etc.
Thanks

By 'supplier' you mean broker? If so - yes, they will be going via a dealer anyway as thats the only way they can obtain the cars. One of the reasons I prefer to get a lease direct from a dealer as you have direct contact with them (and avoid the broker fee) - although I appreciate the best deals are sometimes only available via a broker.It's possible that car will be delivered from PDI centre, without going through dealer. Some big brokers do this. There were some video on YouTube from one of the companies, showing their storage place. Found it, it was Stable Lease https://youtu.be/Gnz_nPTvnL0
We need more information who's the broker or leasing company.

made the mistake of selling my car going by est date. now without car so dont want to wait too long
How easy is it to report a company? Pink/total still taking money out of my account for random return charges 6 months later... They did the most thorough inspection I've even seen at point of return, so thoroughly they sent me pictures of someone else's curbed alloys and charged me for panel damage I'm certain wasn't on my car at return. Now I'm supposed to believe they have found a new windscreen chip 6 months later and I'm to pay for it!?
This company is so crooked.

"Direct Debit Guarantee" have you looked if that can help?
No but I will look into it.Because I set up a direct debit with them for the lease amount, are they allowed to just withdraw money from me using those details?! Maybe I should ring the bank, but getting through to the right people can be a pain

That can't be enforceable 6 months on surely? I've seen a few people posting similar regarding non existent damage. Not good!This company is so crooked.
I seem to recall someone saying they were going to report them to tradings standards. That might be an option to look into.

If you are having trouble with a business, this is the route you need to take. If the business needs investigation, it will be referred to the local Trading Standards team. I seem to recall someone saying they were going to report them to tradings standards. That might be an option to look into.

Depends on leasing company and their conditions. You have to let us know the company or read your contract. It's possible, that short trips cause oil change after 1y. Also, it could have been setup to annual service. Did you check service and oil change intervals before and when was next scheduled oil change?
I'm struggling with the Lease vs PCP debate (which I seem to do every time I look at a new car).
I know I want a new car (less hassle), and I want a fun, small, second car, predominantly for wife to commute to work and to do some of the donkey work (e.g.: short trips to gym, supermarket etc.).
PCP-wise, there's some great deals on the Fiesta ST3.
Now, I can blow the monthlies out the water with a much cheaper lease deal on "lesser" cars (e.g.: Vauxhall Corsa Sri; Peugeot 208 Allure 100bhp), while the Fiesta is actually working out more expensive on a lease than PCP.
I prefer the idea of PCP because:
1). If the car barely gets used, I can hang on to it beyond end of PCP, rather than hand back a new car that I know the history of;
2). If I go slightly over mileage, or I need to exit early etc., PCP affords more flexibility than lease.
Wife is pushing to keep the payments low: Vauxhall Corsa Sri 130 Premium - Lease Loco: £182.21 x 48 (no deposit, £182 broker fee), 8000 miles / year
I am pushing for Ford Fiesta ST3 because it sounds a riot to drive, and I miss something silly on our driveway: Marshalls Ford: £299 x 39 (no deposit), 6000 miles / year (+ I'd probably add on £600 on deposit for wireless charging and 5-door option).
Who's right? Is the Corsa a bit of a false economy because of possible hidden charges (damage at the end) and the reduced flexibility of the lease, or am I letting my heart rule my head?

I'm new to leasing and have a cancellation question...
I've signed a leasing agreement on a Cupra Formentor. It won't be delivered until October, which i knew at the time. I'm also beyond the 15 day cooling off period.
I'm having second thoughts about leasing so I phoned up to see how much cancellation would be, presuming it would some basic admin costs.
The leasing companies website says "If you cancel your order, you will be liable for a cancellation fee equivalent to 3% of the P11D value" (£1100). The agreement I signed doesn't say this on it though.
I phoned the lease company and they said they'd have to get in touch with the dealer. Four minutes after the phone call ended, I got an email with an answer (that i'd owe £1100), which strikes me as rather quick.
The leaser says I owe the money because i've been allocated a build slot. With it being another 3-4 months until they start building the car, does this seem reasonable? Is it absed on the dealer losing a sale?
One one hand I know i signed an agreement and i'm not do worried if I have to have the car. On the other, I think they're lying. I think charging me an amount based on a car's value when the car doesn't exist seems wrong.

Zen auto. Pretty sure we asked and they said we wouldn’t need to? Trying to find service intervals on any motor these days is quite frankly a joke. As you say Some require one at that level my bmw didn’t have one until 20k when brand new. Mental. Next is scheduled for 28 days. Question is can I get it done at a quik fit or alike. Looks like it’s about £80 or just do it myself! Need to check contract. Long life is 2 years, around 18K miles, or there's fixed annual service. Best to check as soon, as you get your car. It's possible, that Audi will advise you to reset the oil change. I read about it.
But on the other hand, 4K miles and a lot short trips is no good for the car. Not sure what's the Zen Auto policy on servicing, whether it's VAT registered or franchise dealer.

Long life still has oil changes more frequent than the inspections.But on the other hand, 4K miles and a lot short trips is no good for the car. Not sure what's the Zen Auto policy on servicing, whether it's VAT registered or franchise dealer.
I’m set to long life on my recently delivered petrol A6 (500 miles on the clock). The inspection is in 2 years (19k), but the oil change is 15 months (12k).

Oil change interval depends on driving. In my previous two Audis, I did oil change around 17-18K. I did mostly longer trips, no city driving around the corner. When car was delivered and I did some miles, it was showing 9500 miles to oil change, but it went up.
In my new Cupra, it started with low mileage for oil change, but now it's almost the same as inspection service. Inspection: 16200 miles, 616 days and oil change 15900 miles and 603 days.
But it's still possible, that someone had long life service but with short trips, oil change is required at 4K miles.
