This kind of defeats the purpose of leasing a nice car with good A/C, doesn't it?

Check mileage limitations if you plan on driving a lot. Just a suggestion.
This is why it pays to understand the implications of a contract before you sign it. I don't know how many miles a year that guy in your office was driving, but the cost of depreciation and insurance on even a beater probably exceeded the overmileage charges.
