I've had financial and ownership/trade convenience with 3  
leases - ie. total 12 years in a row.  However, I "bought out"  
my last lease when I wasn't prepared to dole out any monthly  
payments at the time. Now I regret I didn't take better care of  
the purchased vehicle in my total ownership.

I've heard someone mention "courtesy cars" for the first time  
last year or so.  I don't think dealers advertise them as such,  
do they?  ..or do you have to ask?

He has many good ones, including "A clear conscience is the
