Got it ~ thanks. I guess if the miles are kept really low that might be a way to go ~ otherwise you will get dinged for miles, tires, etc.It would give you a chance to get comfortable with the car, decide if this really is a car you would want to drive for a long time, especially if it's going to be a daily driver / only car. At the end of the lease, figure out whether to buy it or return in. You wouldn't be wasting any money if you decided to buy it because buyout prices tend to be lower than current IS-F prices.
