One would think that once you've "signed your life away" that it would be very difficult for Acura Financial Services to change your lease term and details. Just my opinion though.

If you want a for sure answer, just call the 800 number on your monthly lease bill and inquire.

Never, never, never ever lease a vehicle longer than its warranty.

Only way out if they don't help you out is to refinance and make it a conventional simple interest purchase.

yeah it would suck to have to pay for any repairs that the warranty would have covered. you could get stuck with a large repair bill. especially towards the end of the lease term cause the car has more ago on it and things tend to need replacing.

change lease

Yes the 5 year smart buy is the balloon payment at the end,i have to be the dumbest guy out there did a 59month balloon and got a extra 1 year on my warrantee for $999 should have stayed with 4/50,000 and 48mon balloon but the TL had me in a trance and i was not thinking right,im going to go in and HOPE they can change it to a 48mon i only did the 59mon because i kinda plan on keeping the car for good but at least with the 48mon if i change my mind i can get out ofter 4 years...

"Only way out if they don't help you out is to refinance and make it a conventional simple interest purchase"
