Replying to: kyfdx (Oct 04, 2004 7:15 pm) While I haven't called the bank yet, the numbers I have run indicate this: The payoff under the lease is $8,307.37 (23 payments x $361.19 per payment) The Edmunds TMV of the vehicle is $14,249 (fortunately, I have low mileage, and there is low depreciation on this model) So, does this mean that I am actually ahead of the game by almost $6,000 -- because the trade-in value of the car is far ahead of the payoff amount? In this case, then, shouldn't I just be able to negotiate a deal with around $6,000 net trade-in value (i.e., FMV of vehicle less the $8,307.37 the dealer will have to pay to Volvo to kill the lease)? Or am I missing something obvious? Thanks for the help...

Unfortunately, you are missing something, sensor. Many banks require consumers to pay their remaining payments in order to get out of their leases early, but this is not the only expense involved in breaking your lease. You also will be required to purchase your leased vehicle from the bank that you are leasing it through. To find out exactly how much money it will cost you to do so at this time, you need to give them a call. So, the total cost of getting out of this lease this early will be the $8,307.37 in remaining payments + the purchase price that your bank quotes you - its actual value which Edmunds estimates to be around $14,249. So you definitely are not $6,000 ahead of the game. Car_man Host Smart Shopper Message Board |

Hi princeabubu. You were right in that there is a way for your mother to get out of her leased Durango several years prior to the scheduled end of its contract, however it will likely be prohibitively expensive for her to do so. In order for her to get out of this deal at this time, she will have to purchase the truck from the bank that she is leasing it through. It will probably cost significantly more money to do so than the truck is currently worth on the open market. Furthermore, the bank that she is leasing through, most likely Chrysler Financial, will probably require her to make all of, or at least a significant portion of, her remaining lease payments on this truck in addition to paying its purchase price. As you can imagine, all of this will probably add up to quite a bit of money. Car_man Host Smart Shopper Message Board |

If I chose to buy my vehicle at the end of a lease do I still have to pay for any wear and tear or for going over the mileage? Just curious how this process works at the end..

Hi Carman or any others that can help, I am turning in my 2002 WRX in a couple weeks and the car has a few body issues. To what level should I get these things repaired? Door Dings: 5 total on the car; 3 on one door 2 other random small ones. One has paint from the offending door. Should I get these repaired if they are average(nickel or less) sized? Shattered Fog Lamp: A wood chunk came up a couple years ago and shattered it. We have just have been living with it since. It also took a very small chunk out of the bumper skin, only visible by looking at the broken lamp. Should I replace it so it doesn't draw attention to the missing chunk? Is it cheaper to replace the bulb or pay the damage fee? Rear bumper has minor paint scrape not fully through the paint and I will be getting the car buffed out to clean that up. Any other recommendations? |
