If the lease is 15k mi/;yr, thats 45k mi, so at .10$/mi, thats only $1,200.

Everything else I'd file under comprehensive.

 

Tree limb falling may not be covered by your landlord's insurance, but it's still the landlord's responsibility since he needs to upkeep the property to avoid this exact thing- this is why the insurance won't cover it because it is an avoidable incident. However, if the limb fell due to excessive winds, then it's not necessarily their responsibility at which pount you need to file a comprehensive claim on your car (which you should have since you're leasing). You will be in the hole for your deduct, but if you ask around you may be able to reduce that blow.
Front bumper could also be covered under your insurance, but if your deduct is 500+, better to pay out of pocket and keep it off your record. Honda accord bumper are cheap, ton of good aftermarket and used available, just slap one of those on with paint. Odds are if you do the trunk and bumper at the same time, the shop will cut you a deal since there's overlap (they'll only have to mix the paint once). It seriously takes them like 10-20 minutes to remove and install a bumper despite book time being around 1.5 hours.
It's better you controlling the repairs vs. the dealer controlling the repairs- dealer will use all their parts at their prices, sublet it out to a bodyshop and charge you the full amount.

 

If you don't buy that car at end of lease, might as well bend over and grab your ankles when you return the car. At least try to get that damage repaired. Otherwise, you're paying for the damage, mileage and disposition fee. Returning a lease can get so damn expensive.

 

Yea. I probably won't lease another car. I had intended for it be my second car, but it became the primary car ans the turbo'd S was the garage queen. Now the S is gone and I want to buy something to replace the Accord and S in one package, but I may have screwed myself as far as that goes.

 

not the best thing to ask of your future wife!!

 

^^^if she can't even do that on her own accord(because it's her fault) than you're marrying the wrong women.

Unless you're making twice or triple of what she make IMO.

 

No pun intended?

 

Why haven't you fixed the car? Are you broke?

My advice is to fix the car like you should have in the first place, turn it in at lease end, and pay the mileage penalties.

 

you probably need to get it fixed for as little as you can to have it done properly--there's no getting around paying for that if you either return or sell the car.

if you haven't, run the numbers on the mileage penalties and see how much that will cost you. if you owe a really large amount--enough that you could buyout the lease, sell the car for book value and end up ahead by a grand or two, maybe that's the right answer.

but i'd bet you'll just cough up some money to the repair and some more for the miles, then you'll be done with it.

 

There are other ways around such matters. But I would consider them illegal lol.
