High Mileage Lease
Hi Guys,
Was out looking this weekend for a new family SUV. Wife puts on about 20K/year. Looking at SUV's at the 50K mark. Not ready to buy yet - just trying to decide on which model would work. A couple of dealers strongly suggested that we consider a high mileage lease. While I know any financial structure is possible, I never thought about doing this, or if it made sense. It would be a business expense.
Generally is this waste of my time, or is it worth unpacking this further to see how it looks?
appreciate your thoughts

However, extra miles can be 'purchased' up front for a set amount per mile. Lexus, for example, charges .20/mile. This amount is deducted from the calculated residual.

I know that leasing is always somewhat more expensive that buying (well, usually, not always), but with all these mileage charges (36 X $83 = almost $3,000) maybe a purchase makes sense.
Which I may have to do, given that I'm at almost 35,000 miles into a 45,000 mile lease .. and I've got a year left.

Also, banks run different lease programs for high-mileage business leases. It's definitely worth checking out.
