Gents,
Search the thread and couldn’t find input on this topic: Would you buy a prepaid maintenance package?
Here’s the quote for a 2022 110 SE:
3 Years: $1,050 (Regularly Scheduled Maintenance) PPSM
3 Years: $4,000 (Brakes, Wipers, Belts, Hoses) PPSM Full
It’s worth noting that we’re tempted to only lease, and therefore most of the major stuff (except brakes) should be covered. So should I prepare for oil changes and brakes, and would that save me any money?
Thanks for your input!

I'd say no.
If you need 2 oil changes in 3 years, that is $600 at the dealer. On the chance that you buy the Defender at the end of the lease, I'd change it every 10,500 miles instead of 21,000 miles. So that may be 3 oil changes in 3 years. ($900)
You will certainly need 1 set of brakes in 3 years, so that is $1600 at the dealer. "Belts and Hoses" should be replaced at 100K miles, so it's ridiculous for them to even be listed in that maintenance package.

Sweet spot is to pay the 21k mile service yourself and turn it in at 41k miles right before it needs a second service and $2300 brake job.
I have zero cares about wasting my time doing any extra oil changes.

Curious as to the certainty of needing brakes in three years - I'm over five years in my current Audi on the original brakes (and tires). Is is because the Defender 110 is so much heavier that the brakes will wear faster? Or is it a personal driving style thing?
I'm planning on keeping my defender so I will do service / oil change every 12 months no matter the mileage. I think I'll plan on just paying the dealer out of pocket for those. Audi increased the residual value if you bought the service package, but I haven't seen any similar incentives from JLR

i ended buying both packages when i bought the car in late 2020. at the time the service intervals wasn’t cleared and i was told it was a yearly schedule
come to find out it’s the 21k or every 2 years. i paid 1450 for the two year service and 3500 for the other package.
my yearly service in my area runs a little over 1000 so i am saving a little there
the other package seems to be the question. says you get free brake pads every year if needed and one set of rotors. i choose the plat rotor package.
i remember my wife’s sport rotor job was over 2k. kind of the only reason i bought the plan. i normally don’t buy any extras since i know this is a why to generate revenue for the dealer
my recommendation is on a lease that you do if it’s a 3 year lease

I'm in the no category. There are way too many variables and no clear cost savings. A whole lot of "might" save some money. I know that changing the oil is not for everyone, but at the cost some of the Dealers are charging and the ease of siphoning it out (the oil filter is crazy easy) - I advise doing it on your own. And even if you don't the extended maintenance cycle, the availability of 3rd party service departments (LR specialty shops) makes it not a value on most dimensions.
