  • Any high mileage drivers lease their cars?

    I drive around 30,000 miles a year and have no idea what a lease like this would cost. I have always purchased my vehicles but with the mileage I wanted to at least look into the option of leasing. If I purchased I would only keep it for 5 years or so.

    A Honda Fit EV for only $259 a month, Nothing Down, and UNLIMITED MILES. Now that is a steal. Unfortunately, it is only available in certain states (Texas is not one). Go here to see if you can get one or get on the waiting list: http://automobiles.honda.com/fit-ev/ http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/2013/05/honda-cuts-fit-ev

        I need an SUV for ground clearance and to fit some work equipment in. That little car would not do, plus some of my customers are as big as that car.

          I'm 6'5 and that's the only car I've ever been in that I didn't have to move the seat all the way back.

              And I do a lot of overnight stays in Louisiana and random other places, I don't think they will ever bother with the infrastructure to handle electric cars.

                I looked at leasing very briefly. It seemed like anything over 15k miles per year ended with huge penalties. At that time I was running 45k per year and I've been averaging 80-90k the last few years.

                Some of the manufacturer's sites have lease calculators on them. You can enter your mileage and it will tell you what the payment is with penalties.

                  The key is to have the leased sized for your expected mileage use. You can have 30k miles written into the leasing contract from the get go. Of course the payment will be more expensive but it won't be nearly as high as it would be if you exceeded the contract miles.

                  The key for any lease is to get a car with high residuals. The higher the residual, the lower the payment.

                  no4njnk, I would call Classic Chevy in Grapevine and see what the lease price would be on a new Tahoe or Traverse with your mileage usage. Grapevine Ford can get you pricing on an Expedition or Explorer. Huffines in Lewisville would be my suggestion for payments on a Duragno.

                          I have leased several cars.. 2 of them from Skip..

                          IMO the BEST use for a lease is if you dont put tons of miles on the car. we got my wife into a fully loaded 11 Expy brand new for much less than a purchase would have been. She has 10.5k mile allowance a year and drives maybe 6-7K.

                          if you go over 17-20k, IMO Between the lease cost and the fees for going over, it ends up being cheaper picking a car that you like and buying it VS leasing it.

                              As I recall, the payment for my anticipated mileage would have been higher than my payment. And I didn't know there was an option to negotiate the mileage. Let alone what would have happened with the spike in mileage I've had over the past 2 years.

                              Luckily my truck is paid for and has paid for itself multiple times.
