It's a Chevy. You'll probably get another 21K on it before something breaks. :)

Might be time to add a few bucks to the payment every month... like double payments maybe.

My credo
If you can't go through it or around it, then go over it.
if you drive that many miles then don't lease. I had a Toyota Tacoma on a 5 year lease and used up all my miles in 18 months........... a dime a mile after that.

the more disturbing thing about that statement is that rusty bought a chevy........

either drive less or suck it up........ I would definitely double that payment though

I'm glad I don't make car payments. But I do get irratated when they break at the most inconvenient times.

well, time to start askin' the tough questions: 1) Do I need to be driving so much? The gas alone is a pretty penny. 2) Can you liquidate some your vehicle inventory? When it comes to money and posessions, it does not pay to be sentimental. 3) If you are using the vehicle to get to and from work, are you coming out ahead? (that should be a given). I dunno, just trying to help out in a logical manner. A reposession is bad way to go, so don't let it come to that.
