I have an accord lease which is completed in July of 2009. My wife and I went out car shopping this weekend for its replacement (probably a used Pilot). Questions: The buyout on the lease is ,500 (2006 Accord). We are over by 12,000 miles ($.15/mile)=00 right now. Plus 00 in payments (7 payments of 0). If we "buy out" the lease, do we still pay the milage penalty? Can I turn the lease into any Honda dealer, or does it have to be the one I bought it from? Could I sell a 2006 accord for 500 to save me the 00 in milage penalty? 57000 miles on it now, expecting 63000 miles in July. Is there a better place to ask this question? Car has scratches on front and rear fender, so the two dealers we took it to suggested we owe MORE than the 00 above to fix the car. I drive a Ridgeline and it had scratches on its fender from hitting mosquitos... so I consider that normal wear and tear, the dealers did not.
