Do any of you use the mileage counter on the mbusa web site. It will scare the doo doo out of you if you have a lease.
Here is what mine say's
Percent of Lease Finished: 6% of Lease Completed
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Estimated Miles Over at end: 85120 Miles
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Excess Mileage Charge: 15.00 cents/mile over
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Estimated Cost: $12,768.00
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Watch Your Mileage: You are currently driving 171% more than your lease allows. Check your Target Daily and Monthly Mileage numbers below to see how you can avoid excess mileage charges at the end of your lease.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Target Daily Mileage: 24 Miles
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Target Monthly Mileage: 732 Miles

I use the other mileage counter and do not use the lease counter for the same reason you mentioned. I am allowed 20000 miles per year and I know I will be over that for this first year. I got the car at the end of September 01 and have put on 15000 miles already. Have 6 more months to cover 5000 miles. Yeah right - not going to happen. I will be so over the 20000 miles. I thought I would be okay with 20K miles per year when I leased the car, but guessed wrong. I think this will be the first and last time I lease a car..especially, for my primary car. If it was a secondary car..maybe. But, I will be buying the next one outright.
