Wondering why vendors spend days and days of effort to try to convince you to trial their product and when you agree, they stop responding to you. Um... didn't you just burn like an entire week of effort to talk me into this? Why would you do that then run away when we agreed to look into the product? That's crazy.
Maybe he just handed that task over to another department?

Nope, not in this case.

The toughest event in the Rio olympics is "not catching a deadly, communicable disease".

I do put on a lot of miles. 4.5 year old car with 90K. This isn't SUPER high by any means, I know people who drive 5K a month, but for a lease, 20K miles/year would be expensive.

At 20K a year, owning new is expensive, too. Your car depreciates much faster.

Leases don't work for everyone. We only have a lease on our play only drive in the summer car. My car that we have put about 9K on in 2 or 3 months is an outright buy. My one trip to TX each year is like 3k miles alone.

This is very true - I might consider a 1-2 yr old vehicle next time...

Is this a scheduled service interruption?
-
No of course not!

I'm not sure, don't get cranky. Scheduled outages sometimes can't be avoided.

Finally got myself some coffee.

They don't need to schedule them out there since the unscheduled ones happen so often.

Depends on the miles you drive. I ran the numbers last year when the wife and I were both shopping. It came out that if you're less than 15K (even on a 10K/year lease with extra $$ per mile over) its cheaper. As I'm the farther driver, its was cheaper to lease her SUV and purchase a used car for my day-to-day driving vs buying new or even buying 2 used vehicles. So we bought mine used paid CASH (never take an auto loan, my fathers golden rule for some reason), and lease hers and just put a few extra seat covers and padding to hopefully keep the kids from tearing it apart

I'm the opposite. I always take the loan but hold the cash in case it is needed. Loans, when paid on time, normally cost less overall. One of those life lessons from working in banking. Loans give you more buying leverage because so many people will pay penalties that the banks will happily lose money on the rare people who pay on time.

Plus rates right now are dirt cheap. We got an auto loan for almost nothing down and an extremely low interest rate.
