If you are taking over a lease transfer on a car, and need to pay an incentive to do so, do you prefer a longer term or shorter term? Of course, the incentive adds to the effective monthly on a shorter term.
I understand there are many factors and there is no “correct” answer. So, I’m just looking to crowdsource.
Are you about to lease an M3 CS? 
lol no sir! But, that was funny.
One of my esteemed colleagues on the site is, though
This is for the TRD Pro 4Runner I am signing for.
Only a $3 difference in price between the two and I plan to transfer it after 3 months (on SAL). Just trying to see what folks think is more enticing for maximizing profits.
I vote for 24 months
Thank you! Thats two (me as well) for 24 months lol. Less risk!
I would always prefer 24 over 36, everything else being equal. I like feeling as though I can be more agile, even if it costs a couple bucks.
Totally agree thank you for the feedback!
24 months all day long. That’s why I paid $5 more per month on my Giulia.
24 > 36
Basic math! 24 > 36 !
It’s just good science!
I’m approaching 12 months on the Alfa and already bored. Can’t imagine going longer than 24 months on my ride.
If taking over a lease I value decent miles, a low payment and low drive offs. Lease term is important too but takes a backseat to the rest.
Is this a stelvio? Currently looking for one and interested to know some of the cons.
I hope Delta man doesn’t see this
Jesus, he ripped me a new one in one of his diatribes for not putting parenthesis around the math, even though he knew exactly what I meant.
To answer the original question…id prefer 24 months unless the incentive payment was too much…then it better be a fantastic vehicle or I’m looking at something else.
I remember. You asked for it, pay attention when doing math next time 
Thank you guys!
What’s funny is, it’s not going to be a hackr who takes this over for an incentive. So I wonder if the SAL plebes prefer a longer term haha
He’s the most condescending person I’ve never met. Could literally care less because I’m certain I go home happier every night than he does
I know this is off topic, and maybe both a stupid and personal question, but do you mind if i ask why lease something just to transfer it a few months later? Financially don’t you lose out on the fees due at signing such as registration?
Not a stupid question at all.
I believe the deal on these vehicles is unique enough that I can drive it for 2 months and then:
There’s risk for sure, and I’d love to make money, but worst case scenario, assuming I can cover any expenses leasing up to a transfer.
For example, I’m getting this in the 5s w less than $700 DAS.
In CA, they’re in the 8s-9s w $1000 DAS.
So someone in CA may want to pick it up for a $2-3K incentive.
