People laugh at me with my lease car saying they can tell its leased. I do park about a foot away from the kerb though!

Oh, is that why so many people park like that these days?


I always assumed they were just selfish idiots.

Had my Maserati Ghibli 3 years and was collected and inspected today

Told I had over £1000 worth of cost listed and couldn't the prices there where listing

I told the inspector that I disputed the cost which was noted but not sure if anyone has any experience where there got the bill reduced

List found
Air canister for run flat missing £100
Wheel caps on alloys corroded £80 (alloys were in mint condition but cap where old but that's got to be wear and tear )
Missing panel in the boot (4 inch panal) £150
1inch rip on drivers seat £350
Small scratch on bumper £150
Said the car wasn't clean which it was but there said needs a valet £100)
Wiper no good( £100)
Is it me or there taking the !!!!?
I signed the form but raised a dispute with charges

Any advice would be appreciated

I don't think that is bad.

Rip in drivers seat sounds cheap.
Wheel caps a little pedantic (by them)
Most other bits you should have had seen to before handing back probably for half the price (but then it would be your time and effort).
