15k miles a year is more than the national average. If you are driving that much, and just going to work and home, you live too far away from work! (15k / 365 days = 41.09 miles per day) And if you are in an accident, most leases include GAP protection, so your car is covered! And I don't know what these fees are you are talking about. The only "fee" you can have is the per mile charge if you go over the alloted miles.

The biggest mistake people make when leasing a car is leasing it through a dealership! Dealerships don't know how to properly structure a lease. I got my car through autoflex leasing, and it rocks! My credit isn't wonderful, but I got my LE loaded the way I wanted it, (sticker was $29,400) and my payment is $400.00 a month on a 4 year lease. If I tried to buy the same car, it would be like 500-600 a month.

i'm basing my "opinion" on personal experience thru a toyota dealership. the company that they had inspect my car when i turned in my lease had a huge check list they went by. tint was not allowed. you may have modded it, but have you checked w/ the lease company as to what is all allowed? aftermarket gps & rims can be removed and returned back to stock, so that's no problem.

as far as driving 15k a year, i live in a huge city. (biggest county in america) and it's easy to put on 40 miles a day for normal activities.
