Hi there
i am nissan rough 2022 10865 Mile in Mint Conddition , Payoff is $18,438.43
Carmax offered me $19400, but they cant purchase a leased car from nissan fianance, i would need to buy it, wait for the titile, and by the time, the offer is not longer avilable, so i dont want to take the risk, tried selling it to nissan dealers and they will only do it if i get another car from them , if anyone have a hack 
or any other solution , beside losing $1000 , let me know 
Is this before or after sales tax and registration fee?
Btw, if irc Driveway and AutoNation can buy Nissan lease.

Look for a dealer conglomerate that buys cars and can process the check to NMAC through one of their own Nissan dealers. Like Autonation or Penske/Carshop or Driveway

Its 18438 tax included + 300 End of the lease Fee, however i dont think delaers pay tax or the $300
Hi Everyone
carmax increased his offer to $20K for my nissan rough Sport 2022, the issue is that they cant buy the car directly from nissan finanace, (also Driveway cant) autonation offered $17300 wihotut seeing the car, so if i want to sell it to carmax i have to purchase it from nissan wait for the title and go again and try to request a new qoute, is there away, to get confirmed propsal and contact nissan and pay next day delivery for the titile to arrive within the 7 day of the proposal? , since i dont want to purchase the car and when i come to sell it to them they will say that now we can only offer you 17K
i owe nissan $900 till the leas end on July 19 2025
the payoff amount is 18,438.43 + $300 Regsitration fee which comes to $18738.43 so if carmax is paying me $20,000 i am up $1261.57, if i return the car to nissan i am down -$1,300 thats if Nissan will not add extra fees, and also if carmax will pay me the actual 20K for the car
so in good case senario if i buy the car from nissan and sell it to carmax i will be up $2561.57
i went to a nissan dealer to appriase my car and they told me they would give me $16K for it , and the recommend that i return the car to nissan it will be cheaper,
the car is Nissan Rough 2022 with $10865 Miles , the car is in brand new condition, the only issue i may have is on the front left there are very miled scraches (zero depth), other than that its brand new
My question is, am i wasting my time to save $2651? should i just pay nissan the $1300 and return the car , or i can pull this off ?
Thank You
If you really want out of the car, take the small loss. If you go the Carmax route, title could a few weeks to get to you then you sell to Carmax but who knows what their price will be. It most likely won’t change much but there’s always a risk.
It’s up to you on how much hassle and time you want to spend on it as well as whether the small amounts will break you or not.
Will carmax even accept a lender-released title, or will they require title to be in your name first?
the offer they gave me is good for 7 days and i would need to have the titile in my name,
after the 7 days , i will need to request a new offer, i am doing this since december , originally back than they offered 20K and they went down to 19K in Janury, one week ago they offered $19,400, and today they raise it back to 20K , i never went to thire location to get an actual qoute
That online offer may not be valid once they see the car in person. Also, you have to pay tax if you buy out the vehicle. Is that included in your buyout quote from Nissan?
You will have to title the vehicle in your name in order to sell it to CarMax. Not worth the hassle over $1200. Do you get a tax savings if you trade into the dealer when you buy a new vehicle?
I already purchased a tesla y proformance this friday from tesla inventory that just pop up (great deal 37.5K) so i am not looking to to trade , as to the tax , as of janurry Nissan Finanace changed the payoff qoute which include the tax , so the amount there is the total price and i have to add Purchase Option Fee of $300, The $300 Purchase Option fee is in addition to the payoff quoted and needs to be included when submitting the payoff of your vehicle
most likely i will not going to do it
long story short in decemer i sold the car to nissan dealer where i had to pay 2K to get me out , he actualy purchased the car, but i requested a letther stating i dont owe anyting and he cacneled the deal, however the car was sold to him and it 3 months to reopen my account (actual they created a new account for 6 months) so i wa s very upet with them , so the lady from nissan fianace gave 4 months free on my payment’si dont know why , so i am left only with 2 more payments, i will call her tommorow to see in case i get the qoute after i take my car to carmax if she can rush me the titile in 7 days , if not i just return the car and lose $1300 (2 payments + $395 ) i text the dealer that purchased the car in december and to my suprise he called me he says he will look up my balance tommorow and he might take the car and cover the balance , that would be ideal
A lot of local mom & pop wholesalers can pay off Nissan. We do everyday in California and the west coast. Wholesalers have the ability to skip the corporate bullshit and make a check payable to Nissan but put your name as the remitter and you sign a bill of sale along with power of attorney so the car is sold and we just pay the car off as you. So to the bank, the check is from you, and they mail you the title, and we’re secure because you signed a bill of sale saying you’ll mail us the title as soon as the title comes in. I bet there’s a bunch of wholesale buyers in the east coast who can replicate what we do here to get around buyout restrictions.
I remember reading your thread. Good luck with the sale and enjoy the new Tesla. You are a brave person to buy a Tesla right now!
as i stated on another tread here , this forum is for buying cars , on any one that hate elon mask there is at least one person if not more that love him , we should leave polotics out if this chat , and i dare anyone hitting my car , its taking video 24/7 with century mode , and where i live , most poeple are trump supporters and this would be my 2nd tesla Y the first one is 25 rwd , got it in december (leased it) i was in a market for a lyriq but the prices are too high, i find this deal in tesla invenrory last friday it was a very good deal $8170 discount) tesla y proformance red color outside white inside for 37.8k i think its a deal you dont pass
