Yes I do see what you're trying to say. I didn't want to rack up the miles in the Audi so was using the courtesy car until the Mazda came back and the courtesy car got picked up.Do not get me wrong as I can see your point of view but just trying to see it from another angle. If you take the courtesy car to be a proxy of your actual car then by keeping the courtesy car you are keeping you actual car. If you intended to give your lease car up at the end of the lease and then use the new Audi then you should of handed back the courtesy car at the end of the lease period and started to use the Audi. Then I would see the case for saying the extra lease costs you incurred were extra since you did not have the proxy car and hence would not have had the lease car. By keeping the courtesy car for the entire repair period and beyond the original lease then all they see is you had a car from them to cover your car in for repair hence the extra lease costs would have been incurred since you would have had to have had a car of some sort for that 3 month period. Can you see the point I am trying (probably badly) to make?
That said good luck with the case and hope you do get a good resolution.
