tracking a leased car
as implied in my title who has experience first or second hand with tracking a leased car. any special considerations? has anyone found this to work great? I've never leased but at the rate I go through cars it's probably not a terrible idea if it is significantly cheaper

thanks! I really intend to keep cars for a while but I haven't kept any of my last 6 cars any longer than 12-1months... a lease may encourage me to keep it longer but who knows ... I really would like to keep the m3 long term.. it would be a great all-rounder to pay off and keep in the stable but we'll see.

I usually sell my cars with some warranty left so yes they are dealer services.Brake fluid changes I usually take care of myself but I have the extra oil services done at the dealer so they are documented if I ever have a questionable warranty claim.

No problem. Warm it up/drive it hard
My E90 328 had 83 miles when I took it to sears point and my E89 Z435 280 miles when I took it to willow springs Both cars used zero oil after the break in period and ran strong and trouble free throughout the 36 month lease EDIT: based on the lease return form, something that is specifically excluded is use for commercial purposes, so maybe don't use a leased car to instruct at track days |

good info guys, thanks a lot! I'll have to see what the numbers are like.. financing has just felt better to me in the past because I have more freedom but I think I'll explore leasing this time around. also need to see if I'm going to stick with DCT or get manual! the tough decisions in life .. :

DCT shifts in almost 50% less distance than a manual 997 GT3 at 100mph. The manual is more fun though, wish I had it. |
