It appears as if it's cheaper (by a few hundred $ to even 1K+) to go with a low mileage lease (10K miles) with the higher residual than going with the 15K mile lease and then just paying the mileage penalty. Anyone have expiernece with this? It seems to work at the standard .20 and .25 extra a mile. Thoughts?

Yeah I went over like 1K miles and paid $750.

but it depends if you do alot of driving.

If you have the $$$ or can budget, it is usually always better to pay for the miles at the end. Save on interest and in most cases sales tax.
