1817.0. "Rusty Lease Cars" by VANGA::KERRELL (Dave Kerrell @REO 830-2279) Fri Jul 03 1992 17:49

My lease car is developing rust on the OSR door. It's a seam fault. I rang up
fleet to see how to tackle this. They say lease Vauxhall's are only covered
for 12 months on rust (mine's 18 months old). If I want it fixed, the cost
centre has to pick it up! I thought Vauxhall's offered a six year anti-corrosion
warranty, so why are we getting less under the scheme?

Oh well, PHH will just have to put up with a rusty car when it goes back in
18 months, if the door is still attached :-)

1817.2No effect on trade values?ARRODS::BARRONDSnoopy Vs the Red_BarronMon Jul 06 1992 10:2916
    I know when I had a lease BX it too had a 6 year rust warrenty, but you
    had to have regular inspections that cost money!
    
    I tried to have the first inspection done and the book stamped (I was
    thinking of buying it at the end) but the lease company refuse to pay.
    
    Obviously a rusty car has little effect on the trade value when they
    came to sell them. 
    
    "How much for 36 Vauxhall Astras, 24 Ford Serrias and 12 Rover 200s?
    Rusty?..Nah. �80k? Hmmm?"
