I have leased a car for two years via a company CAF (I have illegiblely abbreviated the company name in order not to get any trouble here). These are leasing cars for athletes. At the handover of the FIAT branch in Düsseldorf, no service booklet was added, which was only later noticed. A friend also got a similar car, also without a service booklet. I then had the customer service done at AutoFit at the end of these 2 years. The rest was taken care of and I received an invoice as proof. When the car was returned to Fiat, I submitted it. I was then told that points mentioned above were missing and I was also charged with a KOMPLETTER customer service in addition to a small damage. I objected on the spot, but the FIAT man told me that he didn’t care about my objection, because he has a contract with CAF and he had a contract with CAF. This is what I tried to do, but in response, the invoice was almost uncommented, including debiting (by the leasing bank). In my opinion, this is all abzocke of the Fiat branch, since there were no service papers for both cars and was declared insufficient for both cars when checking the invoice of the customer service. The cost of spark plugs is 4x4Euro and the pollen filter is about 10 Euro. (Whichever I would pay, as something was really forgotten) In return, however, I am charged about 250 for a complete customer service, although oil changes, inspections etc. were carried out 3 weeks before. What do you think about it? Am I really wrong?

Hello, I have ordered a new BMW 320d. The car is to be delivered next week. The financing will be through BMW leasing. In the sales talks I made clear to the dealer that it is very important to me that I have the opportunity to take over the car after the 36 months. After long overlays I trusted the seller’s recommendation and signed the kilometer leasing. Furthermore, I made business leasing because according to the sales rs “there are no differences”. In the meantime, I have read that only private leasing offers the possibility to take over the car after the lease period. However, an additional right of cancellation has to be agreed. Of course, I am a little disappointed that the seller did not immediately draw my attention to the fact that the takeover is only possible with private leasing. I will urge that the lease agreement be amended to this effect – and even before the delivery of the W agens. Now my questions to you: What experience did you have in taking over the car after the lease period? Especially with BMW. Were there problems with a takeover, even if no right of cancellation was agreed? Is the KM leasing also the cheaper option when taking over the car later, since the residual value to be paid is allegedly lower than with the residual value leasing? What was the residual value of the car in the past after 36 leasing months? According to BMW-Ve This (if at all) will be 50% of the NP. Sixt expects about 60% here. But the leasing rates at Sixt with residual value leasing are much cheaper. Thanks for your answers Klaus

Hello, I’m new here in the forum and wanted to create a post right away… So: I’ve been driving a Golf 3 1.4 since 1st year. Since the car is slowly but surely gammelting away under my butt and since I just want something faster, it would be time to buy a new one. Only I don’t know which one. I’ve already driven several cars, small cars but also bigger ones and still am not conclusive to me. The biggest problem it is the price-performance ratio. te yes already quite like a nice fast car drive, but the maintenance costs should not blow up the frame ( have about 800 euro available in the month). And in the purchase should not cost more than 4000 max.. I have in the past quite often the car of my buddy gafahren and he has already told me quite to. It is an Alfa Romeo 156 sportswagon with the 2.0 150 ps machine. The performance of the car I liked already and also the look, but I wanted to know if you might know another car or have the same performance, but is cheaper/better in the quality etc.. Because otherwise I would really get the Alfa. I just like this exciting new one, because I’ve driven the car a lot and that wouldn’t be anything new if you understand me. OK thank you in advance Lg Yannick

Hello community, greet you, rented me a smart last time, since I did not drive a car for last months, or 1 1/2 years, which was quite restrictive for me and simply makes dependent on bus & train and therefore came again fully into the experience car driving. Am I thinking about for approx. 3-5 T EUR a used then however – without warranty – because from private to – buy or even monthly rates to a car bank with a used in the range up to approx. 10 T EUR without deposit, good does the advice If I give 5000 to the private person it can happen to me at any time, that with the car something is not right so from year 95-96 to 98-99… and then the workshop stays start…. What are your advices, if you would like to be sooo again mobile. *Schwärm* The car banks “help” one after examination of the numbers very gladly to unrestricted mobility. Best thanks in advance for the support and many greetings and many smiles. t I may change my nickname soon 🙂
