That's true, and I will be dealing with that. Leasing has its joys, but all I'm doing is renting for an extended period of time. Don't get me wrong, I always try to get the most out of my deals, and so far with the TL, I have. I'm already near 10,000 miles on it, which is over what I agreed on with the dealer. I intend to reach 10,000 miles on the 5 as well within it's first year as well.
But I do agree that purchasing is probably smarter and I think sooner or later, it will be time for me to have a car I can continue to see after 3 years.
