Hello Leafmates,
I am in a strange predicament and need your help figuring this out. Appreciate any help.
I leased a new 2013 Leaf SV (color Blue Ocean) with LED & QC Package on 9/13/14 for 36 month period. I put 1500 down and 500 Trade-IN and I pay 315.17 per month for a 15000 miles/year lease. I'm located in Saint Louis, MO.
One paperwork (called Vehicle Buyers Order) reads MSRP: 34570 REBATE: 7500 Vehicle Selling Price: 32601 Adm Fee: 195 TOTAL: 32796 Deduct Trade-In : 500 Cash Price = 32296 Less MFG Rebate 7500 Plus Taxes/Fees 233.88 EQUALS 25029.88 Total DOWN 1500 Balance on Delivery 23529.88
Another paperwork has same numbers except at the bottom says Financing 12998.58 and Total Settlement 20846.12
I'm not quite understanding what is the money I need to pay if I choose to purchase at the end of the lease period.
BUT my dilemma is elsewhere. Due to change in my work (i now telecommute) I am not using the miles as I had anticipated. At midway lease point I'm at 11600 miles. At the current rate I'm not seeing usage over 25K at the end of lease 36 month. That is 20K excess mileage.
I totally love my car. But I'm not sure what options do I have to minimize my losses. I would hate to give back excess miles to dealer. Appreciate any help.
Thanks.
