It's a new benz, not a vintage Ferarri!
I drove my Corvette from Long Beach to Kansas City and only collected bugs. Relax....and stay away from trucks!

The drive long distance is quite enjoyable. She has gone on 4 long distance trips so far. Kinda regret leasing it when I'm enjoying this car so much and would probably want to keep it for the longhaul.
Yikes! I guess, if they want to throw you a huge penalty at the end of your Lease, it just might be worth it to buy that baby out.

I'll probably slow it down significantly by next year, but I tell you...that sucker is fun on the road. All it took is one trip!

Unless I'm calculating wrong, if I go over even 10K by lease end (that is a high estimate, too), I'd only be out and extra $2500 for excess mileage (or $2000 if I prepay miles). Did I miss another penalty somewhere in there?

Yeah, that's right. It's not as bad as ".25 per mile sounds). Even at 20K overage, you're paying $5K. It's not a small sum of money, but for a massive 20K over, it ain't gonna take you to the cleaners.

Is there a certain time limit on when you can purchase the mileage package?
