2020 Hyundai Sonata SEL w/ Convenience Pkg - $0 DAS, $248 + tax

Long time lurker and infrequent poster that just wanted to say thank you as this forum has been super helpful in my lease deals and selling my leased cars for over residual when possible. My 2018 Sonata SE lease was due this May and Carvana offered me $3,500 over the residual value and remaining payments so I jumped at the opportunity to unload it. It also gave me an opportunity to snag one of the few remaining 2020 Sonatas left on the lot at my local Hyundai Dealership (Ettleston Hyundai) at a higher trim level than I would have otherwise gone with on the 2021 model year.

Carvana is picking up my old one on Friday morning and I’m picking up my new one on Friday night. Thanks again everybody for sharing all your knowledge here. It’s very much appreciated!

Congrats and thanks for sharing. Enjoy! Might want to add model in the title.

Done :white_check_mark:

Op, congrats!

Sorry about that, thanks for correcting.

In the same situation - did you lease your 2018 through HMF? I was trying to find out if Carmax / Carvana could take over the lease because they both have quoted me more than my residual

Yes. They buy the car directly from HMF and then send you a check or direct deposit for any amount above the residual value and any remaining payments.
