Spreadsheet on 6 yrs leasing + 6 yrs buying out leases

I can add more detail later. 
Here is a spreadsheet I put together.
Ignores growth
Assumes 2% price increases.
Starts in Yr 1 with leasing 1000 buses.
Assumes about 12,000 buses.
1000 new ones each year.
1000 buses are 12 years old each year and are retired/sold for almost nothing.
6 years of leasing 1000 buses/yr. ($8.5M)
6 year of financing and 6 yr amortization of lease buyout each year ($4M/yr)
$70k buses.
Every year after year 12 looks virtually identical. This shows the progression.
I think we are in year 4 or 6 approx.
Cost to purchase buses as a % of sales. 
Thoughts?  I am sure I am missing lots. just trying to get a sense of how the finances will develop over time
(hopefully it formats ok)

A few things. 1/ We are on the same page. 1000 buses newly leased/yr, 1000 coming off lease each year that need to be purchased and 1000 buses need to be retired for minimal $$. 2/ I seperate their existing business with their new business.  For now, we/I will have to assume new business is at least cash flow neutral.  I am just trying to analyze their existing 12,000+ or so buses and ...more
