Thanks what about lease transfer?
I want to double check VW allows third party sales but at market adjusted price?
If I want to sell my BMW lease (bmw financial serv), it has to be sold to a BMW dealer only? Is their payoff the exact same as mine?
If you wish to sell it as a lease , yes.
AFAIK BMW charges payoff to dealers,

Hey y’all has Dodge blocked any third party sales? Trying to sell a Ram lease and autonation isn’t giving me a good offer unfortunately. Wondering if CarMax or GMTV or something would offer.
Wrong thread, but the answer is no they have not. It is often the opposite when referring to specific third parties; CarMax could refuse to buy XXXX leases, but XXXX would rarely refuse a sale to (specifically) CarMax.

I’m sure one post out of my many 4xe related ones won’t bother but thanks for answering.
Moved to the right thread
Is it weird to ask the same dealer to give me an offer (as a third party buyout) to buy my car, where I purchased the car from.
Alfa, ally financial.
Nah, ask away.

Most Dealers will give you an offer 5 minutes after you drive off the lot.
Just not a ‘good’ offer /lol.
What’s the trick to get a good offer? Can one negotiate after their offer? Maybe show them one of the online offers that is high.
To not waste either of your times, i’d pull up, mention you’re interested in selling the vehicle. Tell them your highest offer and ask them to beat it. If they can’t, most dealers will tell you right away and you don’t waste any time. I have had a dealer or two waste my time coming way under though so ymmv

No. The brand is averaging 1100 cars a month, roughly 5 per store. They’ll be grateful someone checked that their phones still rang.

Does anyone know the workaround for selling an Ally lease? Trying to help my grandpa

I just checked with the Alfa dealer today, their price to buy the car from Ally is roughly 7k more than mine, which means I can’t make any profit unless I buy the car and resell. Hate Ally. Can’t make any money on my car, and have to overpay for the next car. Lose money both ways.

Don’t forget that MyCarAuction or others can buy the released title which means you don’t pay tax.

I thought a very few can. I noted this one (mycarauction) down and checked with them too earlier. Their price was lower but will get on them again to see what can be done.
What is released title? I pay Ally, and then they release title, and I show them online proof? This way they don’t have a different buyout price than mine, makes sense.
A title that says the original owner has released all their interest in this car and can be used to issue a new title in the new owners name. This usually triggers tax payments when you go to ‘reissue it’ unless the bank already collected it ahead of time (which you verify in your buyout). Depending on the bank, it can take 2 weeks or up to 2 months.
