It's pretty standard that leases cost less over the long haul. Unless you drive your car into the ground. Then buying used is cheapest.
280,000 miles in 9 years? Yeah, timing chain finally jumped a sprocket. That was highly upsetting, I liked that car.
We've got a number of printers around here with almost 1,000,000 pages printed. Wish I knew of a decent company that serviced printers around here. (Lots of people operating out of their van and/or basement.)
We have several printer with a million pages printed without any servicing. We just run them until they fail and replace.

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.

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
