10k mi/yr is a nice round "lease" number of miles. Are you sure you don't value the resale value of your car more than the joy value?

someone, above: > believing you hunted down a 'deal' causes you to wildly change how you perceive value at an emotional level.

I'm going to quote myself, paraphrased, because i forget the exact phrasing.

"All else equal, which tastes better: ice cream you've paid for; or ice cream that cost you nothing?"

edit: i didn't intend the above to be snark, even though it may read that way.
