If I trade in, tax doesn’t matter 
There’s a Bentayga available in the LH Transfer sub-forum.
There’s a nice eqs 680 in Walnut Creek too. Trade in like 10 cars

May be different for NC, but for many states there would be no sales tax waived with a “traded” leased vehicle. A buyout would have to be completed to realize the tax savings; sales tax would have to be paid.
At least I wish this weren’t the case for my state. SMH
This forum would be nothing without people flexing their baller-azz deals all the time. Like people sometimes flex so hard it spawns a frenzy and sends shit off the rails, and the drama is hilarious.
What I can’t figure out is why the Volvo ABA XC90 junk suddenly became personal. Like where’s the unabated hate for @GOAT or @HersheySweet and their flex?

Some people aspire to own a Volvo. XC90 T8 is a flex to some since it’s literally sitting atop the Volvo product line. Why are you dumping on the brand that you sell all the time?
Why can’t you? There are free PINs available.
Struggle is to find a dealer who is ready to do the deal.
NC you get full tax on a lease vehicle. So if I went to trade in my eqs580 that I got for $7000, if trade in values were decent, I can get like $80k tax credit

As adults (other than @HersheySweet) we can’t have adult discussions that require backing up your “facts” as stated while having something more than 1mm of skin covering the delicate nature that exists below that thin skin.
Slow mode, landfill and bans are far easier than actual thinking.

They can at the very least let us continue the party in the LF. But nope.

On a related but non-personal note, when I ran incentives calcs at corporate… there was zero thought given to the BS it creates for the sales teams on the floor. All they cared about was running a program to create some pull-demand and move some metal.
And definitely zero thought to how some broker may get a bunch of inbound junk leads from bottom feeders on some internet forum because some ABA incentive was available without a 90 day pause on membership before a PIN was generated.
Manufacturer incentives, rebates, lease subventions, residual bull-crap, 0% APR, and volume step-incentive net pricing constructs are supposed to be done under the veil that ultimately the retail seller has the power in the negotiation, and can slow-drip incentive value onto the table in a fashion that enables the salesperson to maximize their margin while still closing a sale.
The manufacturer’s incentive is not meant to be a rapid erosion of perceived net price to the extent a bunch of bottom feeder cheapskates all clamor begging a bunch of dealers (or dealer-proxy-aronchi’s) for the same price.
You want flat pricing, go get a Tesla or LUCID.
LH gives one of the more entertaining insights into what happens when manufacturer incentives are done in a transparent way. To the extent the buyer is actually able to access almost as much information (in DJRabbi’s case maybe even more information) than the seller.
@oarfish18 , how you put up with this Ravi dude is beyond me.

How’s posting minimal details and a photo in Trophy Garage was starting chaos? The XC90 T8 frenzy, if anything. Chaos started from the ABA tip thread.

Wasn’t yours more of a function of “right place, right time” when you were at the dealer getting your wife’s vehicle serviced?
From your post it almost seemed like the GM from a place you’ve leased from multiple times was in the mood to blow one out for a repeat customer, is that more or less what happened?
