How long does it take to repair a car and who will cover the costs if it takes significantly longer?

A friend of mine had a collision with a wildlife vehicle about six weeks ago with his leased vehicle. Since then, the vehicle has been at the authorized repair shop. According to the repair shop, there are serious problems sourcing a replacement part. He was given a replacement vehicle for three weeks, but had to return it. He is now paying his full lease payment, even though he doesn't have the vehicle at his disposal. He is now spending a lot of time and money commuting to and from work. Does he have to continue paying the lease payment? Who will cover the additional costs?

This is the private risk of the leasing user. If it were an accident with another road user, his liability would have to pay a replacement car. However, the leasing driver goes out empty, as the own full-cass covers the replacement car apparently only the three weeks mentioned.

Now he pays his leasing rate in full, although the vehicle is not available to him.

Yes, just not ready to go. This is not the problem of the leasing encoder.

Does he have to keep paying the leasing rate unchanged?

Yeah.

Who pays for additional costs?

No one. The costs could, however, be reduced in profits within the framework of the EStE 2022 next year, thus reducing its zvE.

NB: 6 weeks is unusually long, even given the lack of parts in the KFZ sector. For example, the person concerned should contact the manufacturer or the car house which has sold the leasing whether a replacement vehicle is not possible on Kulanz.

There are even models (e.g. Mercedes EQS) as you wait at least 3 months for spare parts. The six weeks aren’t surprising.

My neighbor had to wait for the replacement engine (after 40,000 km) for 6 months.

My car stood once 11 weeks in the workshop because the manufacturer did not get a part, after an email touching car house and the manufacturer in the CC and the nice note that I will go to the press in the next 3 days, the part has been found within 2h and was picked up by a technician personally from the central warehouse, brought 500km to my workshop and installed by the technician.

The repair was free for me (for other reasons) and the car was left to me for cunning.

There will be hardly any claims against the Leasing Partner because he has no responsibility for the failure.

do you pay less if you are 2 weeks on holiday?

I read, too, takes up to a year.

Replacement trolleys can only run cheaply through the workshop, and the Fz does not belong to him. What does the owner say?

Of course, he can also look into his contract as to what he agreed on these topics.

Of course, he has to pay the leasing rate further. The accident has not caused the workshop. And the one has nothing to do with the other.

The leasing provider does not care whether the leasing user can use his vehicle or not. He didn’t cause the damage.
