If it is still a LEASE, the answer is no. Until you pay the $2-3k in TTL, they will not let you do anything except trade it in for another Volvo…that’s about it.
You got a Volvo, the most restrictive Lease in current existence. Well except some BMWs which are guaranteed to be underwater on. Oh and Tesla which doesn’t let you buy it out.
Got it! Ok, so I am down to 2 options really - 1) work with dealer to get a better deal on my next Volvo, 2) buy the car and do whatever I want with it. is that accurate?
by the way, thanks for all your responses, very helpful!!
Another question. My payoff amount is $38,138.06 according to Volvo Financial. Payoff should include residual $34K + 1 monthly payment remaining $575 + fee for purchase $350. What is the $3K difference, are they adding tax? Do I pay tax to Volvo Financial when buying the car, I thought I pay it at DMV?
Yea. I will buy it first, then sell. I am just curious if I should sell to a place like CarMax or private sale on autotrader etc. I last sold on auto trader years back and it was a $4K car. This is $45K car (according to KBB private party estimate). So wondering what the private sale market is like… or people generally buy from dealers these days?
