If you do a 3-year lease and decide to buy it out at the end, you can have the dealer certify the car and extend your free maintenance for a fee (which you can negotiate). So you could have 6 years, 100k miles of no cost driving (aside from tires).

You can purchase the additional prepaid maintenance any time before the original 4-years, 50k expires so if leasing makes zero sense to do up front.
