Personally even for 1k more I’d rather pick up straight from a dealer than dealing with some guy that’s probably over 1000 miles away… Having to deal with the transfer (transfers can be time consuming, annoying) and putting faith in the transferor to not back out, or having done something shady to the car…
Not saying I’d never do a transfer. It’s a great option sometime when you want a short term lease. But at a time when there is so many great hacks on this car on this very forum, I’d rather work with a dealer than a private party.
