But I do have a slight issue with my car. I signed up for a 12k/year lease, which based on my personal driving, is fine. I do some driving for work which is rumored to become heavier in the near future. As in, I could be doing regular trips which would be in excess of 300 miles. The cost doesn't bother me, as all those trips would be reimbursed at $0.50/mile, when I only pay $0.20/mile for overages. I take that money, sock it away in an account, and have it available when the lease is up. I already have more than enough to cover this year's overage and don't see why I wouldn't be able to bank enough to cover my excess driving. That said, so long as the car is in good shape, can a dealer charge me more that the $0.20/mile noted in the lease?
