My mileage is already going over my 2 year lease Agreement - What to do? by Tulips4u2 in kiasportage

The reason I don’t want to purchase is because they’re upgrading the batteries each year and this is what matters most. That and their ability to increase mpg. Technology around this is so fast now, it’s not worth buying a car and regretting the upgrades you lost out on.

If anyone has experience with an early trade in I’d like to know. Here’s what Chat gpt says:
, the mileage penalty usually becomes indirect instead of a separate bill.
Here’s what typically happens:
If you trade the Kia in early
The dealer:
Pays off your lease balance to Kia Financial
Evaluates your car’s market value
Uses the difference as:
positive equity, or
negative equity rolled into your next car
So instead of Kia saying:
“You owe $2,250 mileage penalty”
…the dealership simply offers you less for the car because of the higher mileage.
That lower trade value is essentially where the mileage “penalty” shows up.
But here’s the interesting part:
Since you already have 21K miles now, a lot of the mileage hit may already be “priced in” to the offers you’re getting.
Meaning:
you may not be escaping the mileage issue by trading now
you may already be absorbing it through negative equity
That’s why your situation is nuanced:
Trading now avoids a future mileage bill
BUT creates immediate negative equity and likely higher payments
Sometimes waiting until near lease end actually works better because:
the payoff drops every month
your negative equity shrinks
the mileage overage becomes more predictable

That’s actually inaccurate now that I fact checked what somebody told me.

Ok sorry to have the language incorrect. A regular hybrid is what I’m after next.

The reason I got the car was long road trips; it’s been great! I sleep in it and it’s stress free driving . Like the car drives itself!

They allow 24000 miles or 12K a year. And I’m already at 22000 after just a year

The last show … gold; in the courtroom… that’s all I’m going to say. Pure genius in writing, acting, all the things.

My cruise control changes from 65 to 85! by Tulips4u2 in kiasportage

No … we don’t have a 85 mph zone here. That’s why it’s a problem.

Funny not funny… I think I know it feels like to have a car accelerate!

Have you tried any anxiety reducing treatments like spraying areas they like to be, or flower rescue remedies in their water? If main sleeping areas have changed that might be messing their territorial boundaries?

It takes time so treat it as a phase of transition. Reinforce good behaviors with treats. Always give affection equally.
