Hi Leasehackrs,
I’m new to leasing and semi-recently started a lease on a 2025 VW Tiguan 4Motion S ($380/mo). My driving needs have changed, so I’m exploring my options to get out of the lease early.
After digging through the forums, it seems VW Credit may require the original lessee to remain on the hook (secondary liability) if the person taking over the lease defaults.
Can anyone with recent experience confirm if this is still the case? If you’ve transferred a VW recently, I’d love to hear your experience or any recommendations on whether this is a viable path or if I should look into a third-party buyout instead or just continue on with the lease. Thanks!
