I can lease another V6 Camry SE without leather, nav, and so forth for $255 per month.
Question: Am I an idiot for leasing a 4-Cyl. Camry SE with leather [includes heater mirros + seats] for $5 less dollar per month than a V6 SE without leather.
At the end of the day I am dumping the lemon in my signature.

OK, hang on just a darn minute. So, what exactly is in this "pile of problems?"
Looking back, I see some brake issue that was fixed. Some exterior paint issue that was fixed. Finally, some "color of the dash" that seems to be the only unresolved issue.
Are you saying that you want to bail out of the car BECAUSE THE COLOR OF THE DASH ISN'T QUITE RIGHT????????
Good lord, if that's essentially the issue here, I shudder to think about what you'll find wrong with "a whole lot less car" than what you've got right now.
So, how much money are you going to lose by "trading it in?" Compare that to how much it would cost you to "keep on trying to get the dealer to satisfy you under warranty." Or, you might even consider going to an upholstery shop or a top detailing shop, and see what they could do to change whatever it is that you find so irritating about that dash.
