Does anyone lease a vehicle to deliver mail out of?

[PostalServiceEmployeeNewman]

Im breaking down the numbers and the math looks like its a great deal to lease a vehicle to use for a route. Even if you go over in mileage, most is 20 cents per mile over. For me, that would be $16/day. I gain about $50 from the post office.

What i dont know:
When leasing, do i need to change breaks or does the dealer do it at no cost?
Am i charged for oil changes?
Vehicles breaks down, do they cover it?
What charges am i responsible for?

all of them... and if you have to turn in, all the scratches/ketchuped seats/mailbox dents will be charged too

Keep in mind many of the lease contracts have a stipulation on no commercial use strictly personal. It’s a separate contract for commercial leasing vs personal. I would make sure whoever knows in advance what it will be used for strictly to cover your self.

LMAO !!!! You forgot about the bar-b-que sauce on the upholstery and the 3849s left under the seat.

and the rubber bands in every nook and cranny of the vehicle.
