In 1983 the truck was leased to the ap-pellee by Paul Miller Ford, Inc. Paul Miller later assigned its rights under the lease to the appellant. The written lease provided for a term of 48 months with an initial payment by the appellee of $815.29, which included a refundable security deposit of $400.00, the first monthly rental payment of $394.65, and registration fee of $20.64. Thereafter, 47 payments of $394.65 were to be made each month. The appellee was given the option to purchase the truck at the expiration of the term for $6,000.00, provided it was not then in default. The appellee was to pay all ad valorem taxes assessed against the truck during the term and maintain comprehensive casualty and liability insurance on the vehicle. The ap-pellee was also liable to pay all sales or use taxes incurred by reason of the lease as well as “to see that all needed repairs are made.” In the event that the appellee failed to pay any rental installment when due, or otherwise defaulted in its agreements under the lease, the appellant had the option of terminating the lease, repossessing the truck, and selling it “at public or private sale with or without notice to the Lessee.” Upon such a termination, the ap-pellee was to make immediate payment of all unpaid monthly installments, and the sums received from the sale would be subtracted from the amount owed to the extent that they were “in excess of what the Lessor would have had invested in the Vehicle at the end of the lease term.”
