It seems that there is more to this lease ending thing than I ever realized. It is not enough to just turn one's car in. One must also have an inspection done. Well, the girl who set my appointment for this inspection said I had to have ALL of my maintenance records for the last four years available to the inspector. So I spent 3 hours today digging through records and receipts looking for all of the data (the accountant left my records in total disarray - something I hadn't realized until today), only to have the inspector show up and say that he only needed the last vehicle maintenance which was the oil change receipt that had been sitting in my wallet and I found in 5 seconds since I'd had it done a week ago. Needless to say, the scheduling company and I had a LONG talk about the value of my time.
Sigh. I've got a headache. Only two more weeks (and $600 in over-mileage fees) and I'll never have to deal with this again. Repeat after me: I will never lease a car, I will never lease a car...
But at least there is one good thing coming out of this. I've gotten motivated to sort through all of my records for this year to get them ready for the accountant. (Are your records accountant ready? Tax season is upon us!) So I'm off to watch a feel-good movie and shuffle papers. Have fun all!
