Dealer woes don't void driver's lease


 

Dear Terry,
I am leasing a 2007 Volkswagen. In November 2007, VW apparently revoked the dealership license from the dealer. The closest dealers are now an hour away, which is obviously an inconvenience for servicing. Is this sufficient grounds for asking out of my lease?

Sorry, but you can't cancel a lease simply because the dealer isn't close by.
