So I am on my 4th lease car which is coming to an end and I’m looking for a replacement. I always do 3 year leases as it seems to be the most cost effective. No need for an MOT, car is always in warranty and only need to do two services (one in the case of my BMW as they are every 2 years – result!). I also get away with not replacing any tyres or brake pads.
So I was talking to a main dealer today and she was trying to sell me the servicing package (not maintenance, servicing only) and I pointed out that paying monthly for three services over three years was not of any interest to me as I would only be servicing it twice…….
Not so says she – It’s written into the contracts now that you have to do three services! WTF? Cheeky buggers.
If I get this particular car I’ve a good mind to do the third service 2 months after the second so it’s still due a service when I hand it back…
EDIT – I haven’t actually seen the contract it’s just what she told me on the phone so it may not be the case…
