Hello, I have now leased a car for the first time and took over the car yesterday from the car dealership. The value of the car was indicated in the lease agreement by the bank at 44,500 EUR, but now it turned out at the handover yesterday that the car has some scratches around it, I have also meticulously documented it and had it confirmed by the car dealership. Photos sent to their e-mail still on site and have me confirm receipt of the mail in writing, otherwise i yesterday, during the journey home, it turned out that the car does not have a dead-angle assistant as stated, and also the lane holding assistant only works unilaterally. Now my question: Is it still possible in retrospect to have the value of the car in the leasing contract corrected still downwards or is the value of 44,500 EUR now carved in stone, since despite the detected scratches this one with my signature b I intend to have a counter-assessment done. Or would I have had to arrange all this before the signature? Especially as far as the scratches are concerned, they were obvious and also determined by me. My fear is now that I signed too quickly and can’t say anymore, Hey, the car has a lot of scratches and is not 44,500 EUR worth, please correct that! If I had to ask for a value correction first and then Sign? The technical buckles could be passed rather than concealed defects, which as usual only come to light gradually. Thank you for your help!

Greetings. Today I have discovered an unwelcome long-drawn scratch on the leasing vehicle and wonder how I should deal with it Before I created this topic, I have already tried to find that topic tailored to me via the search function. Curiously, I find nothing suitable for me. However that can be. An online ad has already been given up for the sake of form. See photo (unilack mondsteingrey) I have a comprehensive insurance. My question is, we Is there any way you would like to go? For the sake of form, file a complaint. (Do I have)What then? Report the scratch of the lease??? Except for the police, don’t report it at all, and let smartrepair look up and fix it independently? Let scratches do so and do nothing at all? or report insurance and have it corrected as casco damage? puh am questioned. Had such a thing under leasing never before, since my first leasing. I would be very pleased about a positive feedback and thank you in advance for the Read.

I might like to lease an e-car and have a few questions as an inexperienced person in terms of leasing and e-car: 1. You can get a lot of offers via the well-known comparison sports. To pick up the car you may have to drive several hundred km. Do I have anything to do with the dealer who releases the vehicle in the until the return? Which workshop is responsible for maintenance or for problems with the vehicle? The local brand workshop? 2. In order to save the way for a pick-up at the far away dealer, it makes sense to confront the local dealer with the offer from the comparison portal? 3. In the leasing offers you often have to pre-stretch the environmental premium as a down payment. Should you not currently run the risk that the conveyor pot is empty and you don’t get any funding? Only in 2024 is supported and many of those who left empty in 2023 should submit the application at the beginning of 2024. 4. Is currently already foreseeable whether the leasing rates will be cheaper due to reduced funding? Thanks already for all the answers!

Hello, I would have read my lease again due to a damage case, and at the same time the following point has come to mind which I had probably overlooked at that time, although I had read the whole paper mountain twice before signature: “A purchase of the vehicle from the LG by the LN is excluded”. The contract was concluded with a large dealer, and I was then (orally) assured that a purchase would be possible after the lease end. One would then make an offer and possibly agree. And one would do so on a regular basis. I had also left it to myself. But it was not yet so important to me, because it was not yet clear that both my prefered drive concept and the vehicle class will die out so quickly. But that is both a bit in contradiction. Or does it simply mean that the dealer will take over the car from the LG and that he will sell it to me as a third party? So that dealers and LG contract both are right? No residual value has been fixed already against me (Kilometerleasing) and the car will be sold so or so between anyone, then I will not be charged a value reduction?

Hi, since I had not been able to read all the different stories on the topic of leasing+return, I wanted to tell you about my experiences recently of the return of my F 22 to the BMW service. I had leased the vehicle directly three years ago at the BMW branch office in Munich and except normal wear and tear was mMn nothing on the car. I had two lighter stone strokes in front but otherwise the car was so fine – also the rims were in the original condition as I had also received the car. I actually rarely sucked out the car and washed it and then simply used it as a normal utility object without ensuring that the car really always stands top there because it is a leasing vehicle and therefore I just didn’t have the feeling that it is really my own vehicle. I once sent the car through the washing system and then sucked it out inside. Otherwise I did nothing. I read again of car preparation before returning – that is just a complete weakness for me because the car has been processed anyway by the car dealer and I haven’t spent several hundred euros on it, without knowing whether the return of the thing that happened at the office.

I once wanted to share a frightening discovery. In May we returned our leased BMW I3 to the dealer. Recently the car seems to have been resold. I noticed that at once the BMW app (which I never actually used) reported that a charging process was started. This made me curious and looked at the APP. I still seem to have full access to the car. In the last few days I was able to track the different locations and charging states. I once tried to turn light on and off, according to APP the command was sent in any case. I find it frightening that BMW apparently (at least in this case) did not make sure that previous owners no longer have access to the APP. To my knowledge, as a customer in the APP, I also have no way to see who else is logged in. Thus ic h now theoretically go to the car, open it and do a lot of scraping. I will now delete the car myself, but wanted to share this realization.

Hi Wanted an Audi leasen (2023), km stood 10,000. For 36 months and 10,000 km p.a. Now I was offered a maintenance package for 40€/mtl. Next year and next year inspections and an oil change occur at least. What are your experiences. Is that worth it?

Hi! Can you tell me which larger car bank (VW, Ford, BMW…) offers business car leasing for freelancers in secondary activities? Work for several years, sales of medium 5-digit range, with VAT and everything around it. Greetings, Sebastian

Hi together, I know that this topic has often been discussed, but sometimes depends on the company’s conditions, which is the better decision for the AN. Here’s my choice: 1. Company car – €550.00 net monthly (including fuel card) – Prerequisite when choosing a car, it must CO2 145g/km (maybe you can still negotiate, but am not sure) – Car may be used for business and private purposes or 2. Car Allowance – €850.00 gross monthly – no fuel card – may be any car be available – Car may be used for business and private purposes: – there will be a home office arrangement to the work contract (after hiring – approved by Hiring Manager) – the two closest offices are Frankfurt or Munich, each about 200-220 km – I will be travelling all of Germany on business, depending on the customer’s appointment – at the beginning I will have to be 3-4 days a week in the office. Once the trial period ends, I will only drive to the office for 1-2 days, the rest depending on the home office or from time to place I will be able to give myself. – so far in the current setting I don’t know about 1 year.

Hello, my current lease of a m135i will soon run out. The car has been driven down almost 60,000km and was returned 36 months. The fact that the vehicle is returned freshly cleaned is beyond question. I am unsure about the rest: – Both front rims each have a scratch off the curb. The rims are not glossy-turned, but fully painted. With the paintr, the reperature would cost about 140 euros per rim. I have now read that BMW has not accepted repaired rims. Do you have any experience here? – At the rear apron on the trunk there are 2 about 4-5cm long scratches of loading and unloading. With the paintr, this would cost me about 500 euros. It would have to be painted according to it. Would you have the whole component painted here before? Otherwise, the vehicle is class there – always hand wash and sealed. I am currently standing something between the chairs. I would like to have better my damages caused by me. However, it would be annoying if BMW the rims and the tail apron moaned despite improvement and the reparature does not accept.
