Q: We own 100% of our vehicles. Our drivers put about 150K miles on every 36 months. Are there even leases out there that would make sense for us with our high mileage?

Q: It seems that an open-end lease benefits only the Lessor and not the Lessee, especially for government run fleets. So, is there any point where a government entity would select an open-end lease?

Q: What is your assessment of the automotive market and industry right now?

Q: What sets Merchants Leasing apart from the competition?
