I tried to sell my 2019 Audi Q5 to them
This is what they got back to me with today:
“Hi, This is Crystal with Driveway! I understand your vehicle is leased with Audi Financial Services. Audi Financial Services will not allow Third Party Payoff’s, so we will not be able to buy your vehicle. If you payoff the vehicle, then we will be able to purchase it from you. Please let me know if you have any additional questions. Thank you for contacting Driveway!”
was your lease account over 90 days old?
My CCAP account is showing a payment received but has not been closed yet.
Yes it’s a 2019 audi q5
Call them. I had to make a $2.50 payment to close my acct. it was closed the next day.
Ffs. Okay.
This was after Carmax sent them $47,000 and I made an extra payment
Now I’m waiting on the extra payment to be refunded.
I have the same question & think I need to call them to figure this out. I did specify my car was leased during the online appraisal process.
Pending closure - so should go soon?
Has anyone dealt with an Antonia when selling?
11 days from accepting their offer to ACH deposit.

I sold right before the rule was imposed

Just got confirmation from Driveway that they can buy out my lease after a day of phone tag between them and my lease company. My lease on my Jag is set to mature on 4/1 which is inside their new 90-day rule. After getting a message today that their policy has changed and they can no longer purchase my car, I spent my afternoon on the phone to get answers. With their new rule, I was able to extend my lease for 6-months which gives them well more than the 90-days to complete the purchase and paperwork. After spending almost an hour on hold, I was able to get it escalated to a manager that was able to confirm my lease extension and confirm that they can indeed purchase my car. Long day with good results. These guys were easily a few thousand dollars higher than any other local or online dealer, so I was determinded to make this deal work.

Confirmed: Driveway.com cannot buy out my GM Financial lease. Not surprised, but still annoying.

Just checked for my 2020 Tesla M3 SR+ 7500 miles offer is $44,337-that’s about what my total with taxes was in CA…tempting to sell it as equity is pretty good and just drive one of the 4Xe’s I have coming this month or April
Carvana re-submit last week was $38K
Just curious, because I have a Volvo as well. Driveway offered $11k over my payoff. Are you saying that they won’t actually be able to pay?
MyCarAuction said they could do it, even with a Volvo lease. But Driveway won’t?
No one can buy out your leased Volvo.
MyCarAuction said:
I request payoff from Volvo
I fill out payoff docs personally
MyCarAuction comes to take the car, and they bring 2 checks (one for the Volvo payoff, and one for me)
They take car, I send payoff check and docs to Volvo
I send title to MyCarAuction once I receive it from Volvo
No?
That would work, but technically they are not buying it. You are buying with their money. Just make sure you send a check from your bank account.
Why would Volvo care whose bank account the money comes from? As long as they are selling the car to me and sending the title to me, it shouldn’t matter who writes the check, should it?
I appreciate your help. I haven’t tried this before (because why would I ever have $11k of equity in a 3 year old Volvo), so I really do appreciate it. Thanks!
