The lease rates are not good compared to my original deal, so Option B ends up costing me more in the long run than Option A. That said, Option C is still possible as I'm planning to keep my F31 at lease-end. Sadly, doesn't look like the OL code can be used towards buying out my F31 lease.

Any recommendations how I should go?
  • If you still like the car, take $3K and have a ball (Option A). The damage looks superficial, and since you will be returning the car at the lease-end - has no longer term impact on asset's value.
  • If you don't, do B or C.

P.S.: BTW, Fleet discounts are still in play, and are -$1.5K for i3's.
