- Comment on What options does one have when they reach the end of a car lease but cannot find a good deal at the time of it's end? 1 day ago:
Won’t a lease have the buyout structure built in? That’s the selling point, the total ownership costs are known at the time of purchase.
You can buy the car and sell it yourself if you’re not getting a good deal, but the “vehicle as a subscription service” aspect of leasing is to avoid that hassle.

There’s not need for all that work. Just a dab of epoxy or glue right on top, the any appropriate sized nut on top of that.
Any drilling/dremel work just creates dust and metal shavings.
