£4800 give or take a few coins over two years.
insurance and servicing included.
remember the bike itself retailed at £6500 minus insurance and servicing…
money isn’t the issue until it goes wrong and your left high n dry.
Money is quite clearly an issue or else you wouldn’t feel the need to keep justifying this shakey deal on the ground of perceived VFM…
Was it via that bikes-**** scheme?
Never trust any outfit that includes a Top hat and Monocle in their logo…
The RRP means next to nothing, people often proudly proclaim the “Value” of their Bike/Car/Mail Order Bride, generally ignoring the fact that the monetary “value” of these things takes a massive dive as soon as you wheel it out of the showroom, and start putting wear and tear on…
TBH everyone above who’s pointed out the folly of this Lease scheme is completely right, it’s a shite idea, how on Earth were you talked into it OP?
That ~£4800 probably exceeds the actual trade price (Ex VAT too?) the bikes actual owner paid, on top of that once you return it at the end of 24 months, they will no doubt flog it on and make a tidy sum…
£6500 RRP is a meaningless number, your “Super Service” package is clearly worthless as you have received what most people would term “pretty piss poor service” to date, you could have done the repair works yourself rather than rely on this bullshit scheme you’re still paying for…
You might as well have taken out a £5K/24 month loan and bought a 2012 year model bike in the sales, or dare I say it slightly used (and hence already depreciated) £6K+ RRP bike for ~35% less, taken out your own insurance policy and at the end of that period you’d at least have had an asset that you could continue to use or trade on as you saw fit…
But come on Man! FFS you are being utterly Reamed for the privilege of Garaging and polishing someone elses Gucci bike, the fact that “insurance is included” actually takes the last drop of piss! What are you insuring exactly? You don’t actually own the bloody thing, it’s the lease companies property, they should already be insuring it as a matter of course!
Chop it in mate before its too late!
It just sounds like an awful level of service at a stupid price, tell them you want out now, or you’ll be contacting trading standards… Then contact trading standards whatever they do.
