I perceive a couple of questions.
1) I kept my 2000 9-5 280K miles. The 9-5 is a reliable car; and, the 2008 has only gotten better. At the rate you're putting mileage on I wouldn't hesitate keeping it another 5-10 years.
2) A price of $23,500 is high. Do some shopping. When you have determined a fair market price make your leasing company an offer. If they won't budge be prepared to walk. There are plenty of 2008's around, so there is no reason to over pay. If you're willing to pay $23,500, you might also consider shopping for a new left-over 2009; with the new 9-5's coming in in a few weeks there may be some deals around for a little more than $23,500.
