Excuse my “newbieness” on the subject, but this effectively means that I pay the “cash due” and don’t pay anything else for the next 9 months? In that case, what is the benefit of one pay vs. a monthly lease?
And the downside is issues with being out that entire lump sum payment in the event the car is totaled. You may have difficulty recouping any of that payment from insurance. With a short term lease like this it may be worth rolling the dice against the likelihood of the car being wrecked in that time.
Bumping this, my transferee dropped out (MBFS is running slow). Car is still available. 8 months remaining $3800 due at transfer (one pay), current miles 24,918, allowed miles 40,800. Includes MB prepaid maintenance. MBFS leases include GAP insurance. Also, 1 pay leases are eligible for pull forwards (when offered).
