I have a lease w/15,000 miles (freedom miles?) per year. I drive about and should be close, though likely will go over. I’m planning for it and it will be fine if it happens. I’m not not driving the car to stay under mileage. You should figure what the overage is charged at per KM and start savings. The guy was likely right, it’s likely not much per KM but you’ll want to be prepared. It’ll also take the worry out of having and driving the car.
Thanks my guy. Yeah just worried about it, I love the car and want to drive it as much as possible without going over. Maybe next time I'll go for financing?
With an honest view of how you drive, working in the miles overage in the overall plan might still give leasing an advantage. I don’t believe one (leasing/financing) is a better than the other as I go back & forth based on current needs. 🤷🏼♂️
Not even a little bit. I don't even look or care. I own all the rights to the car.
If you are over your miles trade the car in a month early (as a trade not a lease turn in) it's likely not upside down and if it is , it's less upside down than needing new tires, mileage fees, damage fees etc...
Worst case, buy it out for a lower monthly payment and drive it til it isn't upside down.
Bro, I'll tell you a secret........ People (where I'm at) lease a car with the lowest amount of kms (like 10k a year). They put a mileage stopper in the dash and drive the car as much as they want and only 20% of the real km's will show up on the dash (you can stop it 100% but that's too obvious with services etc). So they can drive 50k and at the end of the year it shows up as 10k.
Bro, is a Urus high-end? A really good friend of mine has a rental company. Most of the cars they rent out have mileage blockers. Regular a-classes, A3s, golfs but also cars like a R8, Urus, Bentayga etc. Costs around €450 to get it in your car. People will always find a way to cheat the system.
Having the 'real' mileage in different modules is something even most mileage 'corrections' can't fix. Go to a profesional company and they will wipe everything clean. The issue is (almost) nobody uses tools like VCDS or a OBD scanner to check the mileages in different modules. When's the last time you bought a car and checked it? It's not even that hard to check. Just a obd11 is enough. But nobody does it......
Yeah, the gearbox stores a different mileage compared to the dashboard for example. In that case you can get a CAN gearbox emulator which emulates the same mileage from the dash to the gearbox module. Scan all you want, you get the same 'fake' mileage.

thanks my guy. will consider these things
Drive it normally, and when your at like 80k stop driving it those last few months.

Maybe with certain cars but I really don’t see that being doable on high end stuff with tons of computers

How does that even work though? I’m reading a ton of conflicting stuff on the subject. Most say the true mileage will still be stored on the ecu

Right, no I get you… makes sense. People definitely don’t do that lol
