I do put on a lot of miles. 4.5 year old car with 90K. This isn't SUPER high by any means, I know people who drive 5K a month, but for a lease, 20K miles/year would be expensive.

At 20K a year, owning new is expensive, too. Your car depreciates much faster.

Leases don't work for everyone. We only have a lease on our play only drive in the summer car. My car that we have put about 9K on in 2 or 3 months is an outright buy. My one trip to TX each year is like 3k miles alone.

This is very true - I might consider a 1-2 yr old vehicle next time...

Is this a scheduled service interruption?
-
No of course not!

I'm not sure, don't get cranky. Scheduled outages sometimes can't be avoided.

Finally got myself some coffee.

They don't need to schedule them out there since the unscheduled ones happen so often.

Depends on the miles you drive. I ran the numbers last year when the wife and I were both shopping. It came out that if you're less than 15K (even on a 10K/year lease with extra $$ per mile over) its cheaper. As I'm the farther driver, its was cheaper to lease her SUV and purchase a used car for my day-to-day driving vs buying new or even buying 2 used vehicles. So we bought mine used paid CASH (never take an auto loan, my fathers golden rule for some reason), and lease hers and just put a few extra seat covers and padding to hopefully keep the kids from tearing it apart

Getting Kerberos set up on everything instead of just SSH keys.

I'm the opposite. I always take the loan but hold the cash in case it is needed. Loans, when paid on time, normally cost less overall. One of those life lessons from working in banking. Loans give you more buying leverage because so many people will pay penalties that the banks will happily lose money on the rare people who pay on time.

Plus rates right now are dirt cheap. We got an auto loan for almost nothing down and an extremely low interest rate.

Then you can take the cash that you didn't spend and pop it into a high interest investment, like an index fund and potentially earn 8% or so on the money that you would have paid for the car.

Let us know how it goes.... I really need to get my lab back up so I can play with new desktops.
