Joyce, what happened to you is going to happen to you again when the lease on your Mercury is up. If you have any dents, dings, scratches, chips, etc.... they will bill you for that as well, and enough to make up for the disposition fee. That's just part of the price associated with leasing an automobile, instead of buying one. There are few instances in this world where leasing an automobile makes sense; most reasons center around the car being business related or business owned. In that way, the cost of running the car for business purposes is deductible. For an individual, the mileage restrictions simply make the overall cost of the lease too expensive to operate in the end. That sounds like what you're doing and in the end, that's a pretty big amount to eat in the end.

As in, "to deprive of money or belongings by fraud, hoax, or the like; swindle."

Sticking it to you for exaggerated wear and tear is a MAJOR PROFIT CENTER in the entire FLEASE transaction. No matter how good they make it sound, its a FLEASE! Its a very bad deal for you and you will get FLEASED!

Same thing happened to me, but with Toyota Motors Credit Corp. At the end of my lease, my car was inspected and, long story short, I got a bill for $1,000. I was mad as hell, since I had moved to Washington DC and used the car TWICE the last year of my lease. I ended up paying an attorney the $1,000 to get out of paying TMCC the $1,000...Toyota dropped it, but there's a funky notation on my credit report that has not adversely impacted my score, and is only noticed if an actual human reviews my credit file. I think it's leasing -- leasing is inherently expensive, and I will never lease again because of this.
