Mini FS Asking Me to Pay Double Tax on VA Lease Buyout

[Ursus]

@Slowturbo

Now, MINI FS called the DMV and they said they need a receipt showing the DMV that we paid them the tax.

That is correct, apparently. The lease contract showing the amount of tax paid is not enough for VA.
FYI: you can avoid this by doing buyout through your original dealer.

Sold one to CARVANA!

SW VA. I sent a Cashier’s check. I had a printed out statement from Volvo with taxes due and showed them where the original taxes were rolled in to the car payment. They were not ready to believe it even with the original lease, but after the supervisor was done with her power trip and spoke to someone in Richmond, they said the Title + letter from Volvo saying account was clear and there wasn’t a lien on it + original lease + buyer’s order from the lease + Volvo statements – they finally agreed…
