Caduceus26 Champion Author Jacksonville Posts:3,891 Points:761,410 Joined:May 2009	Message Posted: Jul 15, 2012 7:52:13 PM Ignore Caduceus26 Report Abuse Look carefully before you sign a lease agreement.

Along with the lower monthly payments comes lower usage of the car and going over the agreement mileage can be very costly. Remember: At the end of the lease you will likely walk away with "bupkis" and you will still probably need a car.
