Wife has a leased Mercedes C300 that she got December of 2024. Term was 36 months at 15K per year. Is it possible to get out of that lease and upgrade to a mercedes SUV? Never tried to get out oif a lease before. ---

By writing a check, absolutely. Get the payoff from MBFS, find out how much it’s actually worth, > [@List of places to sell or value your car online](https://forum.leasehackr.com/t/list-of-places-to-sell-or-value-your-car-online/396451): > > For the quickest results: Copy your VIN to your clipboard and just paste it into each site. Quicker than plate lookup. Enter “I own the vehicle” where applicable — you don’t need to get into the details of your lease payoff or loan balance until you’ve eventually chosen one entity to sell to. Use a Google Voice or some other device you can turn off at will. Otherwise your real phone will be bombarded initially. In alphabetical order: Buyer Name Direct Link Review Link AutoCo… and you’ll know how big a check you have to write. ---

I like math problems… you have had the car for 9 months total, leaving you with 27 months left. Depending on your monthly payment, you will have to cover the total remaining 27 payments in order to switch to your SUV. I’d recommend a G580; I heard they are offering big monies on that if you are BOA diamond member. Damn… @jeisensc beat me. ---

Take the C300 and let her lease an SUV. ---

Don’t forget the 4% early termination penalty (unless you’re in CT). ---

And no lease transfers for MBFS except: Mercedes-Benz Financial Services will allow a transfer if the lease contract originates from the state of Connecticut. Lease transfers may also be allowed in cases where the lessee has passed away. A business lease for a defunct business may be transferrable, as well. ---
