Needing a new battery with 15K miles isn't a good sign either...
I'm sure it'll still be better overall than the 2000 GMC that it will eventually replace. Every purchase is a calculated risk to some point. You pays your money and you take your choice. Mine happened to be another GMC.
A nearly 4 year old truck with only 15,000 miles on it did some sitting...a lot of sitting. This truck has zero evidence that it was ever driven in the winter, no salt damage at all. I'm not surprised at all that it needed a battery. And I'm thrilled that I'm not the one who had to replace it.
The tires that you buy a vehicle with are rarely ever anything that you'd pick, if given a choice. That said, I just put a new set of OEM Goodyear Fortitude HT's on my 2004 Silverado. The same tire used on brand new GM, Ford, and Dodge pickups. Apparently, the joke is on me.
However, I'm glad you were able to walk away from a leased vehicle that you didn't like, and the best of luck with your Dodge in the future.
