Keith,
One thought: If you want the car for more than 3 years, which it sounds like you do, leasing might work just fine if you buy the car at the end of the lease -- in which case you don't pay any penalty for excess mileage. I intend to keep my car for many more than 3 years, but I leased it because of the incentive. Given the incentive and the low money factor (similar to interest rate), leasing was cheaper than buying -- see the spreadsheet (link below) that I used when leasing my car (FWIW, I changed the numbers a little from my deal to make things simpler). The lease contract states the price I'll pay to buy the car after the 3 years (though some say you may be able to negotiate this price even lower with the leasing company when the time comes to buy).
