Does MBFS even allow transfers? I thought they did not.

And I’m not sure if they allow 3rd party but outs either.

No they do not allow transfers (ask my meme), yes they currently allow 3rd party buyout

List of Lenders that Allow for Third-Party Buyouts

As used car prices soar, many lessees are finding that their vehicles are worth considerably more than their current payoff amount. Instead of simply returning the vehicle at lease end, you may be able to sell the vehicle to a third party (such as Carvana, Shift, Vroom, and CarMax) for a profit. However, some lenders are making it difficult for consumers to access this “lease equity” by charging a higher lease buyout price to third-party buyers than to consumers, or altogether prohibiting third…

Are there any really really really poor mans Mercedes Benz GLE350 like leasing deals out there where it might make sense to do a 2 year lease until this craziness is over? Like great deal on a Hyundai SUV lease deal that I might be able to sucker her into driving?

The only 2 year lease whose RV makes sense is a LR Defender, and they don’t lease well.

Why not keep driving it another six months, and if inventory is better try again? If you sell used cars, you know how bad things are now to get-in.
