Default Leasing and mods plus plausability

Can you lease a Jeep and add mods to it? I'm assuming "No".

IF you can is it even advisable to lease a jeep if you put high miles on your car given the good resale value of Jeeps? I put about 18k a year on my cars so I don't know if leasing is even something I should think about.

Last time I leased a Nissan Xterra I got taken to the bank because I went over on the mileage. The drawback is I like to trade my cars every 2 to 3 years. I get bored :( I'm thinking with a Jeep I might not get so bored and keep it longer but who knows. I'm an ADD type of guy when it comes to cars especially.

I suppose you could lease and mod a Jeep. And take the mods off before turning it in. It would hurt me to give it up once I modded it to my liking.

At $18k a year, better off buying. Mod it, keep the stock parts. Put it back original in 3 years, buy the next Jk or sell the aftermarket parts.

I would never lease a vehicle I planned to take offroad, because fun eventually may equal scratches and dents.

And ya, high mileage driving does not go with leases very well.

Good thing you get sick of cars, the jeep is in its own league.

Just mod it, buy it, and if you want to sell it for the same amount you purchased it for five years later, thumbs up.
