Hey Everyone
Just wondering if there is a realistic way to get out of a MB Eq lease early, I have about 30 months left. Willing to get another MB car if that does anything.
TIA
We’re all trapped in these. No lease transfers, all have negative equity

@Dany1122 got lots of good suggestions here. Derekoh’s idea seems most legit.
Just ride it out - no way out -
Unless @anon65069371 's Mirai was parked and you crash into it. Hydrogen. Bomb.

Depends on how much you hate it. You can a) buy it and sell it yourself, or b) sell it back to dealer and eat the negative equity. MBFS doesn’t allow lease transfers which is a bitch
Geeez, thanks
What is the problem with the car that makes you trapped. I thought these were sharp deals, by reading the posts on the forums here. Ended up doing a Volvo ICE car last summer but for me at that time, that was the best overall deal pricewise etc. I have leased cars for a long time and never wanted to get out early. I never did any of those things where they call you months before telling you the things they will do if I sign another lease. I always got lower pricing wiating until the lease was up.

There is no getting out. Learn to enjoy it. What is the reason you want to get out?

Just drive it and tow it to a dealership when eventually the battery malfunction error pops up. Mine is in the dealership for 2 weeks already. 2 more weeks to lemon it.

The range just sucks, it got a bit cold out and loses ~100 miles.
I feel like I can’t take the car anywhere without range anxiety lol
I saw someone posting a little whil ago about getting the dealer to buy it back is that realistic without taking too big of a loss on it?
Most of the buybacks I’ve seen have been by MB corporate and not a dealer, lemon’ed or otherwise. Doesn’t sound like you are driving a lemon, just not a fit, so a dealer CAN buy it but you’ll need to bring a Brinks truck full of money as its burial shroud.

Buybacks are usually from the manufacturer because the lemon laws and warranty act were written to put the requirement of working merchandise on the manufacturer.
The dealership will usually only have to do a buyback on a new car if they completely screw the pooch on something related to the sale, financing, or legal/regs.

Get your current payoff/buyout amount from your MBFS account.
For giggles, try and get a quote from Carvana, carmax or any other online buyer. Though it’s probably too new for them to have enough data to give you an offer. Alternatively, you can go to a MB dealer and ask them for a number to buy your car.
Total WAG… 6 months into the lease… I’d guess you’re $10-12k underwater (at least).
