I, for one, keep my cars in impeccable condition. I will not be seen driving a rat. Maintenance is usually included (free oil changes, inspections, etc.). I even wax said leased car and condition the leather.
They inspect the car when you turn it in - they don't, however, check to see wheter you've kept proper inflation. But they do check for "undue wear." Not to be confused with underwear.
All maintenance is tracked in the computer, FYI.
There are as many people who ignore maintenance on their "purchased" cars - check any used car lot.

Leases vary. Maintenace is not included in many leases, but certainly my time to take the car in and leave it for awhile is not included. If its a car I own, I might be more likely to do so. Also, changing the oil and other maintenance can be done at places not tied to the dealers computer. They do inspect the car, but you can usually argue them out of much of what they'll try and charge you for. So I'm comfortable with my post. I hadn't thought of my theory until reading the post I replied to, so I guess I did pull the theory out of my ass as you say.
