prepaid maintenance

just wanted to let folks know that if you are leasing, recommend getting the 3 year prepaid maintenance (A/B/A). I was able to negotiate it down by 300 and it then also got residualized. This way only pay a fraction of the total cost. This is one of those no brainers as the total cost over 3 years if you don't get a prepaid plan residualized would be around north of 50%. If you have any questions, let me know. I can share my prepaid plan details via PM if it would help folks that are trying to decide.

Hi - to put it simply, when the plan is included as part of your lease, the total cost will be residualized. So basically you will not pay the full selling price over the lease term.
