So i randomly searched craigslist for lease transfers and a bunch of posts from https://flexlease.co/
came up. some seemingly good deals in this market i guess. looks like they lease certified pre-owned but i couldn’t find a single review on them anywhere. Website looks legit. Anyone have any experience ?
Only been around for 2 years…that sounds a bit sketchy
Used to be a leasing company for video equipment.
Site went live Jul 2021 with the same pricing it has now.
Very sketchy

I wouldn’t lease a certified pre-owned car. The leases are usually terrible due to high MF and low residual values. If you can’t find a single review, I would run from that company.
The prices there are so baity, 300 month for a 2020 atlas with nationwide $600 delivery? Sure, pull the other one, its got bells on

I tried looking up different sites online but didn’t find any thing but it could be because they’re brand new company just starting up?
i tried emailing them twice but got no response. gotta figure if they advertise on craigslist lol

Yep, very sketchy. Had a family member try it as they were in the market for a vehicle a couple months ago. They learned the hard way it is a scam. The way they explained it was you fill out an application and pay a $30 application fee…they you’re advised a final decision on your application will be processed within 48 hours. They did get an email from “FlexLease” right away that has an 800 number, but when they tried that after the 48 hour period you just get automated service (canned messages) and eventually it disconnects you. Thankfully, they only lost out on the $30…but definitely would not trust this site

I also tried it. Same with John - their phone number is fully automated, you cannot speak with anyone.
I applied for a car that was $265/mo but when they emailed me in a couple of days with an approval, the price they said was exact 2x of the advertised price. After writing to their email support, no response.
Don’t bother.
I applied also and looks like it the monthly price it shows is for like AAA credit my payment amount I guess reflects my credit score which says they have their own scoring system. I am sure they will figure it out as they are a new company and will not sell many cars if they cannot offer an car leases. One thing I did notice they are NOT a dealer they are a platform that connects you with a bank so they do not or are not registered as a dealer. The CS rep told me on the phone this is why they can display so many of their partners inventory which has partnered with AUTO BY TEL.
could you post an update if you are successfully able to lease a car through them. would be greatly appreciated!!
