hahahaha
And they did it with a smile on their face.
I appreciate everyone's help and I look forward to meeting some of you at upcoming west coast meets!
i'm not sure this is making sense (to me).
you started with a $299/mo. 39 mo. lease with 12K miles allowed per year, $0.15/mi. for extra miles. the service writer says the lease contract needs to be changed to $0.20/mi. for extra miles and offers you an oil change for your trouble. you are content to keep the original contract or want 3 oil changes in return for agreeing to the change. three crossfire oil changes would cost a consumer $250 or so.
you talk to a manager and now you have a lease for $299/mo., 39 mos., with 15K allowed per year and still $0.15 for additional miles. unless i'm missing something you gained 3K miles/year with no additional cost when you were content with your original contract. that's 9,750 extra miles ($1462 :shock: in depreciation at $0.15/mi.) that they are giving you. did anything else in the contract change such as the monthly payment? provided everything else is the same, i'm having a hard time understanding why they would do this.
