But that’s what the lease agreement is - it’s a binding contract both parties agreed to. Even transfers are a courtesy that lessors are not bound to honor, and can retract at any time. But consider yourself in a better situation than those with MB (absolutely no transfers), or Volvo (strict dealer buyout policies).
Don’t forget your maintenance, insurance, registration and wear/tear costs.
Your lease agreement will list your options and how to determine the cost of each.
How did you determine the value?
For the car I recently sold, it took less than 30 minutes to submit a request to every applicable buyer in this post. I would strongly recommend providing a tertiary email address and Google Voice number.
yea it was my fault. I asked my dealer( who is a seller on leasehackr) if I can get out early 2 months ago. he said probably not, but then looked into it and said yes. We went back and for about cars and options. i was waiting for the new 2026s to come in so I can get one of the black sport QX60 or QX80. Then when price time came he was adding in 400 or so a month to cover the loss from the return. I should have obviously cleared that up before hand, but the mistake was made. I figured worst case, I would list it on swapalease, but I didn’t realize that some banks dont let you do that with wiping out your liability. I assumed it was going to be easy to get out if a paid/lost a few bucks. Obviously I assumed wrong. Just trying to see if any out of the box options here.
You could invent a time machine, go back in time, and not sign a long-term lease for a car in a color you despise.
You can also just transfer the lease and enter into a side contract with the transferee to hold them liable and indemnify you from any claims IFS has against you. But then you’d have to sue them to enforce it and actually get them to pay. So yes, either roll the dice on that or enjoy your white car for 17 months. As others have said, just wrap it. Or plasti-dip the entire thing, which will be even cheaper than wrapping
