I had the pleasure of picking up a 2020 M4 Heritage manual transmission on SwapALease!
Took over payments and after tax came out to just under 900/month. NY to PA.
Made two payments, put about 1800 miles on the car. Only paid transfer fee.
Buyout at time of sale $65,753
Just sold for $72500 to a BMW dealer due to new buyout rules. Plan on turning it in next week.
Security deposit on car, $749.
Could have made closer to 8-9k if not for pesky third party buyout rules. Absolute best summer I could have had, loved every mile, and only stalled a few times learning stick :).
I’m pretty sure you can still sell a BMW to a third party. You just have to get the payoff , they won’t provide it to the 3rd party dealer carvana etc. Unless that has changed again?
