So my car is 12 months old and at 9500 miles but no sign of a service indicator yet.
Did your cars flash up a warning or indicator? If so what mileage?
I am thinking of getting the service done asap anyway - what kind of price have you all paid?
It's 2y/19000 rolling down with use so you'll be ok for a while. I think mine got to 15000 at just over a year old.Did your cars flash up a warning or indicator? If so what mileage?

Bit of news on the contract adjustment on the S4 this week ( The S4 thread seems to have died a death and this is a lease thread so I thought it better here.
Going from 20k total to 30k total mileage is costing 12 p per mile.
I had the maintenance package so my excess mileage would have been 25p per mile, a bit of a result I reckon.

Wow that's a good deal. My S5 I went from 20k to 28k total and it was 12.8p non maintained. Still way better than the 15 odd p on excess.Going from 20k total to 30k total mileage is costing 12 p per mile.

The maintenance went up 2p a month. Not used any tyres in 15k so maybe they look at individual accountsEdited by talksthetorque on Thursday 23 August 13:56

Has anyone enquired about extending there lease? I know you can extend it for 3 months and monthly payments stay the same but wondering if anyone has enquired about a 12 month extension or something similar.
Lease deals seem to have dried up so extending may be the best option...
Yeah I am considering asking about doing a 6 months at least. Lead times seem crazy at the minute and the only deals I have seen have either been not a car I really wanted (V90 CC, Arteon 190 2.0 TFSI) or too dear when adding miles (530e M Sport). But I think by the time the lead times settle and the demand has dropped I will already be needing a new car. Golf R lead times are such that it will be November time to order for April as it stands but whether they are good value or not I will have to see at the time. S4 has an impending facelift so will be interesting to see if anything comes of that.Lease deals seem to have dried up so extending may be the best option...

This is the thing. I can't see any deals where we get this type of car for the money we are currently paying so for me it makes sense extending as long as the payments don't go up too much or even better drop down a bit. I read somewhere they calculate them depending on their initial forecast and how that's actually played out - depreciation etcLet me know what they say re the extension and I'll post once I receive some figures from them.

In a golf r till June - I will either be extending or (fingers crossed) hoping for some lease deals on the S4/S5 sportback.Let me know what they say re the extension and I'll post once I receive some figures from them.

I had 6 months down, fully maintained 6+23 based on 10k per year. Edited by talksthetorque on Thursday 23 August 13:56
I am a year in and just tried to change it to 24k total mileage as I have done 15k in the first year. I also obtained a quote for 30k total mileage, both of which are below. Some jump and can't decide what is best as also tempted to extend but cannot quote until inside last 6 months of lease!
12K -
Moves from a total of £439.09 to £529.71 a month. A difference of £90.62 a month for the remaining term.
15K -
Moves from a total of £439.09 to £592.00 a month. A difference of £152.91 a month for the remaining term.
My Excess mileage rate remains the same regardless at 21.64ppm (I think this is VAT Inclusive) So based on this, the above options are cheaper.

Yes got a letter last week and an email today. Have emailed back asking what the extension options are. Also pointed out that my 2 year lease, when the term is up, will have paid off the extras so I don't expect to continue paying for them. Doubt that will come to anything but nothing ventured.....
Will post what I get back and interested what other early adopters are being offered to extend.
