skopiec, I am also coming up on my lease end on an xc90 and I am finding that my residual / buyout price is much higher than the auction/wholesale price. As Huntington is also my leasing company, please keep us posted on your negotiations.
 
Regards,
Rick

Hi Rick,
The person you responded to posted over a year ago (Jan 2008), so I would be surprised to hear from him/her, as negotiations are likely to have concluded for his/her deal.

OK I took my chances and turned in my 2005 cobalt to the hummer dealer which is what I bought and H3 on the last day of January. Since it was also a GM I was able to be a part of the pull ahead program which gave me 2 payments. I also was paid 1 month ahead. My dealer 2 years ago quoted me $2500 to fix the damage on the car. GM gave me a bill for About $1200 but once the pull ahead and payments were credited I ended up owing about $632. WOW! I was shocked when I opened the bill, and VERY VERY happy. Plus, I got a CRAZY deal on the H3 which I'm sure you can imagine which GM's status right now. It all worked for me....Good luck to the rest of you:-)

Lease Buyout/trade in for 06 Altima 3.5SL by worr
Feb 15, 2009 (5:17 am)

My contract buy out price is $15,400 on a 06 Altima 3.5SL with 36K miles silver and in excellent condition which according to NADA is priced at $12,350 $13,600 $14,625 for trade in. I'm assumign that is the number to compare with...trade in value not retail.
 
Anyhow...my lease is up in a couple months...and the dealer is offering to trade in my lease and take over my payments for a new car purchase. There are some nice deals on new nissan altimas this weekend.
 
Are they able to negotiate my residule price? If so, that means a win win...and I'd be happy to let them get a deal on a used car. I just don't want any penalties, fees, taxes carried over to a new car purchase if I turn this over to them.
 
The car is in the upper midwest.
 
Thanks for any help.

Most likely, your dealer is just going to lump your remaining payments into your new deal. Or they may use a loyalty incentive, if applicable to make your payments.
It is very rare that a dealer can get your amount owed on a lease reduced.

You were right.
 
But with the $1,000 extra rebate for President's day it would have been a wash.
 
Auction prices are way below the residual price right now. Maybe Nissan is willing to sell for below that...maybe not.

2004 Lexus ES330 Auction Prices by jbaek74

Volvomax,
 
You helped me with some lease-end questions couple months ago. I'm now about to negotiate a buyout price with the leasing company.
 
Can you please let me know the latest auction prices you have available for a 2004 ES330 with about 40,000 miles. I'd like to use this info as a reference to get a fair and reasonable purchase price.
 
Thank you sir~

Is this with Toyota/Lexus finance? If so, please let us know how the negotiations go. To date, I've yet to hear of getting any answer besides a resounding "NO". I've tried through multiple leases as well with no success.

Not too many 40k 04 ES330's out there.
Figure the car would trade in the $11-12k range.
Lease co's don't always go by trade value when they negotiate a buyout.
