Yeah…check with a Chevy dealer and see if you can get the desired $3k with a sell back vs a transfer. If so, the sell back will have you leaving with a check in an hour vs. weeks with a transfer ( as well as avoiding the uncertainty of a transfer).
Reached out to two dealers, offered to buyout the car at payoff amount as if they were doing me a favor. One didn’t even know what an LT1 was. Ever since the block on third-party sales, it’s killed GM dealer offers.
Yea one local dealer SM brought out the whole sales crew and they pointed at the car laughing because they thought I added an aftermarket badge and got the 1 swapped. Until someone looked it up on their phone to see it was a real thing and all the laughs just magically stopped.
I did that with an AN dealer when “trading in” a Ford towards a Chevrolet. You may have to keep on the dealer to make sure they dont screw up the payoff (payoff cant come from the non-Ford store) but it will fly.
You may be right - I don’t see the “no transfer in first six months of the lease” being a listed requirement anymore, but I’d still call and make sure:
