   That sounds like a pretty good deal. I don't know I've ever heard   
   of paying the lease up front. What's the advantage of that?

   These days my biggest problem is not driving my car enough.   
   So far it hasn't caused me any problems but I usually only use   
   my car one day every 2 weeks for my shopping and any other   
   appointments. I try to keep organized..   B)   
      
   Otherwise I stay close to home and walk, jog or bicycle anyplace   
   I have to go, usually just out for mail which is about a mile   
   from the house. I only put about 1000 miles a year on my car if   
   nothing unusual requires a longer trip.
