Have had my car 15 months and someone last week asked me if I just bought the car. My NBP looks better than someone I know who bought a car last week. My goal is turn it in at the end of the lease having the salesman very confused if it is three years old. If it wasn't the high mileage I was putting on the car, I would keep it after the lease is up. I'll take a 2007 model instead when the lease is up.

 

Atta boy?

 

you been detailing your car with viagra eh ?

 

Is there a penalty for returning a leased car in less than mint condition? I thought the only factor was mileage, aside from any obvious body or mechanical damage. Am I missing something?

 

You're not missing anything. Soon enough he'll make a post that will explain why he started a new thread.

 

yes they will make you go ask the original poster his secret

 

Just look here

 

Your car is still in the dealers showroom.

 

Great first post welcome to America

 

 

How much mileage are you putting on it? You know you get killed whn you go over mileage on a leased car.

 

I have leased two Acura TLs, a 1999 and a 2003. I also treat my leased cars as if I own them and wash and detail them often. I was 10,000 miles over on the lease on the 1999 and had 5 months to go on the lease when I got the 2004 in April 2002. I did not have to pay a mileage penalty and my lease payment was exactly the same as it was for the 1999 TL. The dealer took one look at my 1999 and knew he could turn around and sell it without having to do anything to it.

I am going to lease a TSX when my lease comes up in July.

 

but it still made me

BTW, if you figure out how to return your car with less mileage than it originally had, do let us know.

 

It will likely cost me a few thousand dollars over the few years- lot of money I agree. Nothing I can do now.

 

Thanks!

 

The secret is not to drive it and just wash and wax it every day.....

 

Uh oh, were treading in dangerous waters

 

 

Well, CLPower can't give me negitive rep points anymore

I guess he can ban me though

 

 

wouldnt you be better off purchasing the vehicle at lease end? instead of paying a few thousand dollars for the over-mileage then putting down a few thousand more for another lease?

 

floridapwner's a smart fella...He'll figure it out

 

Don't get too obsessional. You'll be desillusionned.
