A few things to keep in mind - check into any costs at the time of return. Some leases can be costly at the end of the lease. Also, remember that you will be paying taxes of over $2,000 when you take this lease over. If you buy a new car, you can build the cost of the taxes into your lease. New model may also have a higher residual value making the lease less expensive.
Dan,

Thanks for your reply. When you say "remember that you will be paying taxes of over $2,000 when you take this lease over", what exactly do you mean? Are you referring to any state sales tax charged by my state? What other costs should I check into at time of return? Thanks again.
