I leased an A4 a year ago for 3 yrs @ 15k miles a year and I'm currently just slightly under my allowance (by about 1500 miles).

I feel like I should drive it in case I turn it in at the end of the lease then that way I would've used up all the miles. There is always the possibility that I may buy it out at the end of the lease but that's still almost 2 yrs away so I'm not sure what I plan on doing yet.

Is there any reason not to keep up with the mileage on the A4? Only reason I can think of is that if I keep the miles low then the car might actually be worth more at lease turn-in so I guess I could always buy it and sell it privately. OTOH, if I turn it in then I would be wasting all those unused miles. Seems like an obvious answer...or is it?

You're already paying for those miles. Might as well use them.

agreed....to RDD, why did you buy the other car?

uselessly just to put miles on a car?

the previous car was RWD but now I have 2 AWD cars so I can drive either one despite the weather (I didn't have snow tires for the RWD car). I used to alternate between the AWD and RWD car before depending on the weather, but now I can afford to take either car to work which I like just to switch things up.

why would I drive around uselessly? I'm talking about driving to work

Youreviltwin

dont know why. Drive it up to the miles of course. why put it away then?

RDD

would put it away to drive car #2 for a change but it looks like I'll put the miles on her. Thx!
