Signed: 2021 Mazda CX-5 Touring with SV Preferred Package

MSRP: $31,145
36/10k lease

Region: NC
Horrible environment to get a good lease. Last year in June I got 2020 V60 CC with MSRP of $48k for $275 per month with zero down(36/10k). Given the huge equity I have in the V60 CC, I will part ways with my beloved Volvo later this month and replace it with the CX5. I like a lot how the CX5 drives, very crisp and sporty little SUV. Like the color combo as well.
I am in the process of selling it to Carvana, but first need to buy it from Volvo. Have to pay taxes on the payoff amount, no way around it, but Carvana quote is really good, so it is a no brainer. We have instant title issuance here in NC, so hopefully I can finish the whole process in 10 days. Volvo promised to send me the title and bill of sale within 1 week (mailed overnight the check, they need 2-3 business days to close the acct and post official payoff date).
Yep, very, very frustrating. I tried more than 10 dealers, it took me two weeks until I finally got a reasonable offer. Chose Mazda CX 5 , since this was the only vehicle with some solid numbers available on the dealers lots here in NC. Tried Volvo and Lexus, but they would not bulge at all. Even Volvo, where I can claim three rebates, quoted me north of 450 per month for 40k S60. Even freaking Hyundai would not agree on a lease for less than 370 per month on a Sonata SEL.
