Hi All- Have a 2006 Murano coming off lease in a few weeks. 20k miles, and the buyout is $19k. Seems like a good deal but would like to be sure. Also, is it correct that I'd pay tax twice? Would I pay tax on just the $19k or the entire value of the car? Thanks in advance, Jason

When you're given the "buy out" price, that price is only good for a specific period of time. I learned this the hard way. Was given a price on my Volvo when lease was up. . . left for a trip out West. When I returned and was ready to take care of the purchase, etc, I was told that price was no longer good. In the end, I had to pay almost $400.00 more than what I was originally quoted. Was told buy out quotes are only good for 10 days !!!!! This is highway robbery. I WILL NEVER lease another car! |

Hi Folks - Because I'm not a car leasing expert and not so good with numbers and such, I thought I'd post here for some opinions/assistance. My 2007 Honda Odyssey (base model) lease is coming to an end. My maturity date is 10/21/09. I am trying to decide what my best option will be for when lease is up. I'm not sure if I should buy, hand it back and walk away, or what ever other options might be available. If I need to share more info, please let me know. The current payoff amount is $16822. The residual value on the lease agreement is $15481. I am over mileage, I had a 15000/yr and am presently at 46500. I don't have another car to drive, so the over mileage will continue till I decide what I'm going to do next. I would like to get my payments back down to something more reasonable, whatever option I choose. These lease payments are killing me, I was so foolish in my younger days..anyways, any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have a lease on an 07 Impala LT that is ending in 3 months. Right now we're only at 21,000 miles on a 39 month 39,000 mile lease. I would like to buy the vehicle but want to get a deal. My buyout at lease end is $12,700, which is roughly what I would pay for this vehicle from a dealer, but trade is only just over $10,000. Will GMAC negotiate a buyout price? I've read so many different things ... yes they will, .... absolutely no they won't. I don't know what to think. I just cashed in on the Cash for Clunkers on a little work car, and the finance lady there told me that GMAC won't negotiate my residual value. Any advice on what to do? Should I wait another month and see if GMAC approaches me with an offer for buyout... does that happen?? And what's with this gmacleasebuyout.com... is this a legitimate company? Any help/advice is appreciated. Thanks
