Just to add, often lease return cars tend to fall into the attractive mileage with lazy prior owner category. I try to stay away from lease cars. I have leased 2-3 BMW's and I can honestly say, I don't feel the same way about the car as when I own it because I know it is going back. That is not to say I don't care for it like a future owner would want me too mechanically, but I probably won't be ceramicing it and I won't lose as much sleep over the small door dings or scuffs, etc. I also would probably let my dog in a lease where he has never been in the M550. These things all add up. Everything gets addressed in real time on the cars I own. It's just a mindset I think.
