Extending a lease

[Moh]

Yeah mine last 7500 miles. I now have Ps4s however iv only done 600 miles in them so can't comment. I have heard 12 to 15k from them

I got my Cupra 290 in May and the front continentals are on 2mm, i have only done 6000 miles.

That is incredibly bad! I definitely won't be replacing them with the same.

Ordered some Michellin PS4s, will see how they hold up in comparison

How long is the fixed extension period?

You know you are locked in and will have to pay the whole term should you want to return the car early?

12 month extension on what was a 2 year lease, so only 3 years in total. I only went for 2 originally because the mk4 was due to be out by now.

Out of curiosity, what did you do insurance wise? I know they are usually 1 year long etc...

Not sure what you mean here. I just renew the insurance each year as normal. Or are you talking Gap insurance? That’s a different rabbit hole to go down!

Another thing to note with VWFS is that they will adjust the monthly payment if your annual mileage changes. Similar to the above lease extension I emailed them to inform them that my total annual mileage would average 5000 per annum rather than the original 10,000. They adjusted the agreement and reduced my remaining monthly payments by around £30.
