Haha, Liverpool where I live. I received the videos pretty quick being local, the one from the CCTV in Boots is a real eye opener. A miracle nobody got hurt and not yet clear how it actually happened. The fact he took multiple cars out and security bollards means the car was accelerating heavily! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-merseyside-6...

I’ve noticed my oil getting low but now being prompted for an oil and filter service after having had the car for 12 months and covered only 6k miles …. Seems a bit over the top but will have it done shortly I guess as per schedule.
What’s the going rate at a VW dealer for the first service?AlexRoberts95 said:

Ours goes back tmrw. 24 months and 19950 miles.
Been a good car, great on a motorway and for the tip.
Never really happy with the gearbox around town just so jerky.
The LKA I won't miss. Truly awful.
VW charged £300 to give it back a year early in case anyone is fancying a change.
How did you manage to organise the early hand back for £300 as I’m only aware of the early lease termination option and for that you pay 1000s !! Could you explain please?Been a good car, great on a motorway and for the tip.

No probs.
I read the leasing forums/ fora and had read that VW we're doing good hand back deals.
So I asked for a quote.
Usually VW is half what you owe which is better than a lot.
Half what I owe would have been half of 12x near as dammit 600.
So I'd have kept it.
But it was peanuts. So we ditched it after 24 of 36 months.
All I did was ask for the figure.

Great thanks, spoke to VW and it’s a definite option, the chap said obviously the longer you leave it the lower the settlement figure will be with no need to pay any portion or the remaining monthly payments. Last time I looked into this they quoted 1000s for early return but now seem to add a large credit to cancel most of that out - good to know!!

If Arval did this I could get out of our GTI Clubsport which would be fantastic haha!

Im pretty sure it was 55% of the remaining payments previously. Wonder what's made them change their mind? I'm 18 months in of 36 months and probably looking to extend another year. Be curious about a buy price as well.

No idea but it’s good to know. I’m thinking of early hand back as the car spends most of its time sitting on the driveway which is costing £500 plus a month along with insurance which is about to double. This is my biggest out going ( no mortgage or rent to pay) and just seems wasteful. Enjoyed driving the Touareg but I it’s not essential for my situation so hence my thoughts…..If Arval did this I could get out of our GTI Clubsport which would be fantastic haha!

Similar.
Insurance was robbery, was 3 weeks off a service (never cheap) and all 4 tyres were sub 3mm.
Worked well.
Glad it worked out well for you, sounds like you’ve saved a chunk of money on a full set of tyres and full service!!!Insurance was robbery, was 3 weeks off a service (never cheap) and all 4 tyres were sub 3mm.
Worked well.
As for insurance I was paying £600 last year and esure wanted £1100 this year, all the other major comparison sites were very similar. Used quotezone and managed to keep the premium more or less same so that will do me until I decide to do the hand back.
