Looking to get out of this lease without having to owe a penny. Seems like car is in demand so thoughts would be appreciated.

As has others have mentioned (and this is not meant to be a harsh comment but just recognition of the group here), you will likely have better luck on a different forum than this one. This board is, for lack of a better term, made up of bargain hunters. You will probably need someone who is a regular retail type buyer who happens to really want your car and be willing to perhaps overpay a bit for it on a retail sale. If the car is in demand, (honestly I have no idea as I do not follow Kia at all) then posting it in various online marketplaces may prove fruitful. Photos will also help immensely.

As @spockvr6 said, LH is for bargain hunters. Your effective payment for the Kia Sportage is $567/month for 48 months. That’s no bueno even if its loaded. LH members hardly go over 36 month lease b/c that’s pass the warranty period. Your best bet is probably Swaplease or some other platfrom.

But contact Kia Financial and see if you can sell the car to Carmax, Carvana, etc. Find out your buyout price and see what buyers are offering:

Sorry to be that guy, but why? It’s a 2023 and not even a year old.

Just saying cause there’s definitely potential that you’ll have to eat some of what you invested into it to get out so is it really worth it?

What’s the new car you’re getting?

I can see that you have been preserving your sanity and not following the EQS super thread

May I ask why you’re switching the car? I was planning on getting the Sportage.

Super threads are often impossible to keep up with. I was following each individual EQS thread (more or less anyway) until they got merged then I bowed out, haha.

Bro ……are you done finding your EQS? Is deal finalized?

If so, congrats.

Now you need to do some real shopping around for someone to buy your kia. Take a bunch of pics of your car. Email every dealer near you. Ask them if they want to buy your car and if they will take pics for appraisal. If so, send picture. Take hugest offer

Have you called KIA to confirm if you can even transfer the lease?
