Same here. People obviously trying to discourage others from calling up. Was told they have a lot of stock in a lot of colours
I have always done VWFS in the past - and dealt with some really rubbish lease companies which has put me off lease companies in general but everyone I have spoken too has filled me with confidence

Didn’t happen to ask about any stock vehicles having the Winter Pack did you?

Think it’s ridiculous having to pay for heated seats on a £35k car, especially since my 2018 R had them as standard

This looked good but turned out to be a mistake 🙄

That’s really strange. I’m going to call again. I spoke with Ricky at 09.30 and that is the information I was given.

Thank you for clarifying.

I asked about extras, they said these cars were already ordered so no additional bits come with it. Haven’t had the full spec through yet so will let you know what it says when I do

Thanks to Sportaz for sharing this, still hasnt’t come up on any comparison sites (don’t know if Arval do). Excellent deal in the current climate with nothing anywhere near it, I’ve just ordered one myself in moonstone grey.

When I spoke with Robyn she said the cars were already ordered so could choose from a few different paint choices and upgrade the alloys to 19” (but only to the Adelaide not the nicer Estoril). Crazy that they don’t come with heated seats - makes no sense at all! But I could’t add this either even though it would be less than £10pm based on VW configurator!

No admin fee so win win if the market changes (highly doubt it)

On the phone again now and they are insistent that there are no cars directly through Arval…. Ugh. Trying to push this GTE.

Definitely not mate, I rang up and was told they're all gone, last one went last night. Sending me over a gte quote, still waiting on that too.

I'm on the phone now, and Ricky has just told me this exact same message, he sold the last Clubsport GTI last night. Pushing the GTE once more.

He's trying to put me through to a difference sales team, as they have access to different cars?!?!?!?!?!

Arval have been great over the last 3 years when I've needed assistance, this seems a bit disjointed at best.

Just spoken to a nice lady (forget her name), she was able to see my email request for a quote too. They're with Robyn to turn around, who is obviously very busy.

Plenty of cars mentioned again.

I keep my fingers crossed. As much as I'd love the winter pack, this deal in the current climate makes more sense.

If we order one of these Arval deals, can you cancel down the line without penalty?

Just seen this cancelled order. Audi A6 last in metallic grey.
Ordered the last solid paint one last week for £310 on a 1+ 35 for delivery in two weeks.

That has a three grand deposit?
You could just change the initial to whatever suits. You don’t have to put 3 grand upfront

I've been told I will be contacted by Inchcape regarding my order - not heard from them yet. Not sure if you can contact Inchcape directly? Might be worth a try for anyone having trouble getting anything from Arval?

I’m still awaiting confirmation of my order but based on previous leases I would assume Inchcape are the dealer network providing the vehicle and Arval are the deal funders (I could be wrong). But if this is the case, I would assume Inchcape have no need to discuss anything until delivery.

Also for anyone interested - I had another look at the configurator and it seems that the car comes as standard with heated steering wheel! At least that takes the edge off not being able to have heated seats…

Im still a bit dubious about all this but I have accepted a quote on 1+35 in white with 19" wheels. Let's see if this actually gets confirmed!

Anyone else had a confirmation?
