USBank Jeep lease end purchase to resell

Hello - I just got a quote from CarMax (and several local Jeep dealers have called with similar quotes) to purchase my 2019 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk for $31,600. I can purchase the car at lease-end (through USBank) for $20,697 in 30 days.

Has anyone done this in Massachusetts? It seems I have to pay the sales tax, title the car in my name and then sell to CarMax. Is it to good to be true?

Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

initiate the buyout as soon as you can so you have title and everything ready to go asap and dump the car.

If you sell to a Jeep dealer, can they just transfer the title and you don’t have to pay sales tax? This is how it worked with my Toyota Rav4 via SE Toyota Financial. I sold it back to the Toyota dealership (I walked in with my CarMax offer and they actually beat it by $400).

This was way easier (and more profitable) than buying it myself and selling to CarMax.

No - it’s USB.

It would need to be a US Bank affiliated Jeep dealer, not just any Jeep dealer.

Thank you (let me know if I should delete the post).

No need. It’s a reasonable question and the answer is useful to others.

Curious on this statement
Could it be any US Bank affiliated dealer or just Jeep or any CJDR?

That’s a good question. I don’t actually know the answer.
