Do you provide the VIN# of trade-in to dealership or hold off and just give them year, trim, and miles of the car?

I was reading online and it said if I provide the VIN# of my SUV that’s towards the end of it’s lease, if it’s the same manufacturer they can look up the exact “residual value” of the SUV by the VIN# and that can impact on what amount they actually offer me…is this accurate?

By definition every single bid except one will be the non-highest bid.

Does it really matter why all of those other bids were the non-highest bid?

All you need to do is find the highest bid and don’t overanalyze it
