Yeah, shipping and transfer fees on a short term lease really add on to what is a great deal.
Yeah it is a delta hub but how do I get the car to Southern California?
You road trip it back and use 1/3 of the remaining miles left on the lease, LOL.
Alternately, you ship it and spend probably $1200 or so, and then it becomes obviously not quite as attractive due to the number of months left.
So I agree, this is best for a fairly local transfer. For someone in that scenario, this is a mice deal.
In 2019 I had an unemployed friend who was willing to drive a car across the country for me (his idea).
I decided against it when I considered the price of the car, and how early in the day he normally starts smoking weed and never really stops.
Spend $200 on listing on swapalease, that car should go quickly ā¦ I just did a BMW transfer, took one week, Wednesday to Wednesday with paying overnight FedEx.
Rather than incentivizing $1000 why donāt you offer someone on SAL that youāll pay for shipping anywhere on east coast. Same $1000, likely less but it mentally helps someone getting over the hurdle to pay for shipping
Lots of interest so it likely wonāt make it to SAL.
If it does itās not going there with any incentive. All of the cars there are $200+ more per month and some with less miles. I did the extra $1,000 for the LH community as thatās how I found out about the deals on these cars.
It makes the most sense for someone less than 500 miles away. I can pick you up at MSP and you can drive it home.
Questions and TIA as im learning all this newā¦how does the transfer to say NY work with regards to the taxes(NYC 8.875%)ā¦what is the amount i would be paying taxes onā¦? is it the total of my payments? or is it a total of something elseā¦? ā¦and one last question how much does it cost to have a vehicle shipped 1200 miles to me as the driving would kill a whole month of milesā¦
lastly the residual is the cost i may buy the vehicle if per say i was interested in an end of lease purchaseā¦thanks again its a great deal for someone

Donāt ask the same question across multiple threads.

Search the forum for shipping companies and brokers: ask them for quotes.

Forget about buying any BMW lease from the good olā days at RV because youāll end up being under water.
hey appreciate the replyā¦understoodā¦will doā¦and thanks for that tip
wow, dream config. good luck!
as a DP - Shipping from MSP to NYC was quoted at $1375 with one of the LH well-regarded shipping brokers.
Two more days and sheās headed to swap a lease. Lots of interest but no application to BMW yet.
Sheās now up on Swap-a-lease - 2019 BMW 6 Series lease in Edina, MN
If you contact me through LH I will honor the $1,000 off, which you could use for shipping.
Car is pending. One past application stage and multiple backups. Thanks everyone.
Let mods know to re-open, if this fails
