So far, his number is pretty good IF I include my 20s. I guess I'm saying that in this experience, the dealer wants the 20s (or included in the deal), it makes it a more desirable auto. He didn't seem to care much about the 19s.

Thanks for sharing...I think it ultimately depends on the dealer you're returning it to...It's not intuitive for me to believe a dealer would balk at an OEM upgrade in a lease return.

Hell, I might even keep the thing after only 36 mos
