Should I buy or return it?

My car is a 2008 Acura TL-S with just about 10, 500 miles on it. It is leased and is due back in March 2012. By then I will have 11,000 miles on it maximum (most likely). I need opinions on what the car is worth and would it be worth it to buy it or not at the end of the lease. I have had no mechanical problems except the passenger side mirror and a few cosmetic issues.

Have they told you how much $$$ you have to bring to the table to take title?

I agree with above members. Then also personal choice comes into it. If it satisfies your appetite go for it. Within reason of course.

I dont know much about leasing but to me it sounds like the only person that would be winning here is Acura. Maybe someone can fill me in with this, but when your leasing a car do all your payments go towards a possible purchase at the end of the lease? Or have you been paying for this 08 Type S for almost 4 years now and then they will want some crazy amount to keep the car?
Like others have said I guess it all depends on what that amount is and how much you like the car. If your not 100% thrilled with the car then might as well go lease or buy something new and different.
