On a lease I am of the (personal) opinion that it really doesnt matter much- you'll be out of the car before the warranty is up. You are trading from one known to an unknown.

If you can do an even-up trade, sure I guess.

(Sounds like you've handled the dealer well, and not 'burned' them- hence they are willing to go to bat.)

Alvam- i'd love to hear the technical details on how a NOX sensor CEL is related to a ground fault in the dash... that seems to be a really tricky thing to diagnose. (You said "same check engine light"... there is only one CEL, and 1000 possible faults that can cause it to come on..is it the same fault or you are just saying 'same light'?)

Finally, everyone should be aware of how their state law defines a 'defect' and when the 'clock' starts. You can have 5 CELs, all for different reasons- how your state law defines the defect which determines the buyback amount is important. (I was lucky that my very first CEL was the same issues as the last which took 4 weeks. There were 20k+ miles in between these...the buyback amount goes back to the very first event.)

PS It's not a truck...at least to people with real trucks.
