BMW IX msport 40 deal.
592£ x23
850£ initial payment inc fee
Thoughts please…
If that’s including VAT and not a salary sacrifice amount, then it’s not a bad price for a premium EV SUV imo592£ x23
850£ initial payment inc fee
Thoughts please…
£498.99 + VAT on a 1+23 is extremely cheap. £540 for 8k, £567k for 10k. M sport is worth paying the extra for IMO. I do my own effective sal sac but lease isn't up for a year but if it was, I don't think I could overlook this. Nothing else coming close for a premium EV.

For anyone looking at those in stock Arteon Shooting Brake deals, turns out they are pre reg 72 plate cars, which is a deal breaker for me as it means an extra service. Bit annoyed this wasn't made clear at application.
Why does it mean an extra service? Was looking at these myself.You can defer a service by 30 days, which means the next year's service can also be deferred 30 days, giving you an extra two months.

It’s all dependent on your milage per year and the terms of the lease.
Of course it is, it was a suggestion for them to investigate for their own circumstances.I’ve had several leases and always request long life servicing, no lease companies have refused the request. They don’t seem to care as long as I’m the services are complete.
Based on 8-10k / year you would most likely only need 1 service on a 2 year lease and 2 services on a 3 year lease. I doubt a pre registered car would change that on this type of service schedule.

Apparently they were all registered at the end of February to hit sales targets, so have sitting around for a while.
So it's only couple of months from registration. Not a big issue with long service schedule. You can probably do just one service and avoid MOT with 2y lease. BMW is worse, because I had to do service 2 years from production date, not PDI or collection which was 5 months later.

It’s long life by default, no? I’ve never done any services less than 18k miles or every two years for a service. With it being pre registered, it could impact the time if the PDI is done but if the lease is for 2 or 3 years and they stay within the 30k mileage range then yeah they wouldn’t need the extra service.

You shouldn’t need the 2nd unless going past 3 years. I need a 2nd going into the 4th due to the milage being near 40k, otherwise I would be good till December. With the way servicing costs are going, it’s also looking more cost effective to choose maintenance packages.

I don’t know where prices are at the moment but when we looked at leasing a Tiguan a few yrs ago some people were getting monthly costs under £10 from VWFS for service contracts because the system assumes the car will only need one service in 3 yrs.Horizon 301 said:

As you said it all depends on numerous conditions.My current petrol A6 is on long life and had first oil service at 14 months / 9k.
Second Oil and Inspection showing due at 28 months / 22k.
Conversely the Passat Alltack went back a month early at 23 months / 17k and never needed a service.

Buy a maintenance package direct from the dealer. I bought a 2 service package for a £500. This includes the first oil service and the second combined oil and inspection service.
This will last 36 months I’ll have the car, so £14 / month is split over the term.

Dealers often set fixed sevice schedules at PDI. I spoke to one when I had my Passat Alltrack who said they often set fixed schedules when a car is bought on low mileage PCP / lease contracts.
PCP and lease aren’t the same thing. They come from the factory set on longlife and if it’s leased it’s supposed to be left on longlife service regardless of mileage. All Motability cars, for instance, are on longlife.Ham_and_Jam said:

I guess it stops any stressing over whether or not it’ll ask for a second service but if it turns out it only needed one service then you’ve wasted £300.I bought a 2 service package for a £500. This includes the first oil service and the second combined oil and inspection service.

Always a bit of a gamble, but as this was a 3 year PCH and mainly city driving I was pretty sure I would need both service. I think a single service was £350 at the same dealer so seems good value. As said It’s not much different to thise doing the ‘cheap’ £10 monthly
Maintenance packages a few years ago.

If the deal is good, just pay for the service if and when, surely? What’s another few hundred quid on top of the 10 grand or more rental fees?
Or buy a cheaper car.
Service prices are increasing constantly, on long life each one is near £400 and with tyres etc it’s probably more cost effective to get maintenance for 3 year + contracts. Out of warranty, there are even more costs as multiple filters need changing plus the brake fluid etc. Or buy a cheaper car.
After the fact, Audi all in covers the service and adds warranty beyond the 3rd year for those who decided to extend their reasonably priced contracts but it’s still in my view too much in costs even if the car is £230 a month for a large saloon. The £100 or so reduction in monthlies was eaten up entirely for us by the maintenance costs.

Why bother looking for a deal? Just go to the dealer and pay the screen price, probably only a few hundred quid more.Or buy a cheaper car.
