If I'm understanding you right, you're saying that insurance is MORE expensive if I lease it back, even it if was covered under the lessee's insurance company? I'm trying to figure out how that works. Do you know what the average leaseback rate is, and the costs of the 100-hour, etc?

The big plus is you'll sell it for what you paid for it and save a good bit on rental costs.
Yeah, that's what I figured. It's the time spent in there that I'd be concerned about.
