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~

Replying to: volvomax (Feb 20, 2009 11:08 am) To my dissapointment, they said that my offer of $12.5k was not acceptable. Their best possible price was $14k. When I pushed for a lower price, I was told to call back next week to see if auctions over the weekend could enable them to offer me a better deal. Do they have some kind of a formula based on the auction prices to determine the minimum that they'll take for a lease-end vehicle? Do you guys think $14k is a reasonable price for this car? |
