Is this a good deal…36 month lease, 12k miles, 550/month…trading in 2019 VW atlas (lease was up) they offered to take the car off our hands(residual price was 24K on that one if we wanted to buy it out) . I know it’s hard to fully judge with this info but just want to be sure we aren’t getting screwed.

Am I the only one who gets nervous when someone posts, and then there is a long length without hearing from them? It has been less than a day since the OP’s last post, but I am always afraid they will come back and say they have the new vehicle.
That could be (especially with the OP liking your comment). But as @Supakimchee said, I am always looking for the outcome/closure. It partly has to do with respect (I am not saying that is the case here – at all). Individuals ask a question (or questions) of the community, and others take their time to give the best advice. So for me (personally), it is polite to come back and provide an update. But that is just me.
That said, my comment looks as though some interpreted it wrongly/literally. Maybe, the OP has not completed the deal or had time to update.
The VW had 42K thousand miles. It was a 12k miles a year lease for 3 years. We had extended it 6 months cause wasn’t sure It was the SEL model. In decent condition. Not new but not too crappy. Put into to carvana and other robot e sites and they came up with somewhat similar numbers five or take. The hybrid highlander xle comes with some features that when you build and add tax, etc, put it at roughly 51 K. So my original post was just to see with all this being said is this a decent deal. Yeah VW doesn’t let Toyota take the lease normally but theirs guy knew a guy blah blah. So it save us from having to bring it back. Didn’t feel like buying out the lease and then selling it so it takes that out of it. Hate all the nonsense that comes with getting a car. So I just basically wanted to know if this deal is alright.
