I'm contesting the assessment. Both cars should depreciate by next year, so it will be less. But it's damn expensive.

I bought mine 3 years ago (this month no less.) with 8700mi on it. It now has 24,000mi on it. That's 5,100 mi per year.
Bought it in July of 05, I signed up here a couple days after getting it. I put the most miles on it in the first 3 years, pretty sure I was at 25k when the 3 year lease was up.
I've backed off driving it in recent years.

FTR -
April 2013 - 45066
Now - 50020
Under 5k total in the past 3 years

I know I don't drive my S much, but I'm okay with that.

Oil change for the BMW.

I put the plates on both the BMW and the Mailibu. Still waiting for the personalized plates to come, but they gave me random plates to use for now.

Since NC is a one-plate state, and there is no easy way to remove the front plate bracket on the Malibu, I got a scuba flag front plate for her.

You're getting a personalized plate for the Malibu too?

I will clarify: Removal is easy. Filling the left over holes and having them match is not.
