Q: i currently lease a 2005 TSX..i got a brochure in the mail showing off the 09 TSX and im in awe...my lease is up in Sept 09, but im estimating ill be over my lease by roughly 40,000 miles (long commute)..since i dont want to pay $2,800 or so in mileage to trade in my TSX, are there any other options I have to get my hands on the new TSX, possibly before my lease is up? any help is appreciated.
A: The dealer will allow you to trade in and swap for the new 09' but you will be UPSIDE DOWN on the TSX Meaning that they will probably charge you the overage of the mileage and include it to the price of the new car. EXAMPLE: if the TSX cost 30,000 and your mileage overage cost you 2,800 Then you will finance 32,800. This is not a good idea because you will probably be over next time and this cycle will never end. Just buy out your current lease or turn it in and BUY your next car. Buy used and you will never have to pay sticker price or worry about miles again. I own all 3 of my vehicles and no they are not Buckets. Just not spanking new. But they are all mine.
