Car advice

[dave]

I've never leased, so my thoughts here are basically worthless...(not to mention most everywhere else, I suppose)..... But I never will, because I like to put serious miles when I want, and don't ever want to worry about it. My father leased a van a few years ago and anally logged every mile and calculated miles remaining weekly....would have driven me insane. I also 'abuse' my cars - smoke in them, and drive them hard in less than ideal conditions. I won't baby them, but I'm afraid I would if I knew I had to turn them over in a couple/few years.

This is the part that sends red lights flashing in my head. In my life, it has been a very rare occurrence when a company that I considered to have 'screwed me', ever made me feel whole again through their attempts to make it right. Lots that have gone above and beyond when there was a 'mistake' or unforeseen problem, but in those instances where I felt wronged, any make-up offer I accepted turned out to be (almost always) regrettable. Walk away and don't look back.
