<prompt> Human: I have a 2013 Ford Fiesta with 58,000 miles on it about to end a 3 yr. lease. I will be going to the dealership next week to returnbuy out the lease. The kicker is, I am over on the mileage approximately 4,000 in mileage overage fees. I can buy out the car for approximately 10,000, without paying the fee. Does it make more sense to buy the car, or return it, pay the 4,000, and get a cheaper one? I should mention I have not been paying the lease, so I have not invested any money into the car yet, and would begin to do so next week.Is my best option to buy the car?  <response>: If the choice is between paying 4000 to get nothing, or paying 10,000 to get this car, then you come out ahead purchasing the car, since it is likely worth more than 6000. How much more is hard to say.
