T-4 Months. Options for getting out of a lease early

Ask the Hackrs

My wife’s lease (Hyundai Sonata) is ending in about 4 months. And now since I got my Volvo S90 she is expecting something nice too :sweat_smile: Is it too early to start looking for a replacement?

I’m planning to head over to Carmax to get an appraisal. I suppose selling the lease out is always one way out!

What about pull ahead programs? How common are they? Are there any out there right now? Some googling suggests that they are often targeted through mail… I haven’t seen any.

I’ve also seen other people “rolling in their old lease”. How does this work? Basically add the positive/negative equity into the adj. cap cost of the new vehicle? How do you typically negotiate that? Negotiate the equity after you’ve already established selling price and lease terms?

Thanks,

Ed

Hyundai offers 3 months pull ahead. You should receive something in the mail from corporate. (Dont fall for dealer flyers as they might not be legit). Genesis G80 in the works ? :smirk:

After his wife sees his S90 for $300/mo? :roll_eyes: Don’t think so. I think he meant pull ahead from other brands, similar to what Volvo had last year.

Lol I drove one last night. Even though it was a T-5, very impressed by the responsive engine. Cant imagine what the T6 would be like.

I did mean from other brands, but she would probably like a Genesis. I’ll have to look at those more.

I’m pretty sure I only use 1/4 of my T6’s engine…

I took my wife’s car to Carmax and they offered me $13K, but the buyout is ~$19K. :frowning:
