Mike, I've never known of a lease on anything where the actual terms of the lease include an annual check up and service.

gotta know that it's going to be reflected in the monthly lease payment, probably to a level that's not very favorable for the lessee - the leasing company is going to protect their interest!
I've know a fellow in TV who works for a small company that rents golf carts there. He says most of their current fleet of carts is leased........and that they (the lessee) are responsible for all maintenance, repairs, etc. for the length of the leases.
If you can buy a used cart right that's in pretty good shape, I'd think you could get a good percentage of your money back after using it for a year or two. JMHO!
