Pretty sure service advisors and techs do not look at sales vs lease when completing service work. Just that the age and milage fall within the parameters to have the servicing done.

If you do yourself save all your service records. You'll need them when you turn the lease in if you're turning it back into VW.

A mod (especially a bolt on one) should in no way impact scheduled service work.

i take mine into the dealer and havent had any problems. in fact, it may be a good idea to take it to them; build a relationship, so later on if you have problems they may be more likely to overlook the fact that it's modded

The way I see it...there's no point in putting money into a car you don't intend to keep.

No one truly "keeps" a car. They are all sold or returned at some point. In the OPs case, it's an exhaust. Just unbolt and sell when the lease is up if they do actually decide to buy it after.

I don't intend on getting rid of my GTI for a good while. It's my first new car, my dream car, and I don't see any reason why I'd ever need anything else. That said, if it does become impractical, or if as I get older I need something more comfortable/economical/utilitarian/whatever, then it is what it is.

You're leasing to buy? Why not just buy it outright?

Because when i first got it i was not sure if i wanted to keep it and i was not going to commit to a buy on a car i was not completely sure i would keep. Never the less it is just a bolt on exhaust and i have my stock exhaust sitting on a shelf in my garage. So i mine as well enjoy it for the time i have it.
