My lease is up next month. I already made my last payment. Carmax offered me 29k and vroom 29200 (cant sell it to them). Mazda dealerships only offered me 25k (buyout is 25500). I finally found a mazda dealership that after some back and forth offered me 27250, so I would net 1750.
My current lease is quiet good (2021). Basically 1st month and title DAS and a payment of roughly 360 tax inc for a 40k 3-row SUV.
I cant seem to find anything remotely close to that even for the smaller SUVs.
Should I take the equity and continue to shop another lease with the equity on hand, or should I just buyout my lease (est. Payments of 550). Unless there is a 3 row SUV that leases really well. I tried the pathfinder with no luck.
