I am trying to find someone to take over my lease. The lease ends Oct 1st and I just made a payment this month and have 6 months remaining. I purchased the vehicle with 10k miles a year for 27months and I put a good chunk down so my monthly payment would be $650 including tax. The lease is done through MBUSA and they do require a strong credit score. Vehicle is located in Jax FL. I have the original set of wheels and tires buyer gets both sets. Sweet deal for someone to drive a 77k car for $650 a month no money down besides paying for the transfer fee which is $550 to MBUSA.

Options-
6disc
ipod integration
Navigation
Heated /cooling seats
7k miles remaining on lease.
Lease ends Oct 1st
$650month w/$550 lease transfer fee per MBUSA

Please email me at JJ@epoultry.com if your interested.Thanks Guys

 

Sorry the car is filthy when I took pictures but I would have the vehicle detailed before handing over and there are no dings dents or scratches anywhere just to clear that up.

 

Nice car. MB will not allow you to transfer the vehicle in the first and last 6 months of the lease. I am sure you know that but just wanted to let you know just in case.

 

i'm curious - did mb tell you if you would still be liable if the new owner missed a payment?

 

The good thing about MB is that once they release the vehicle off your possession you have no liability and are not responisble for any missed payments. I just transferred my '08 E350 and know the whole process only too well.

 

jtill I spoke with MB at lunch today once new contract is signed all responsibilities are on the new owner to make payments which is why I am comfortable doing this. If I remained on the lease I would not be handing the car over to anyone.

 

I have a window until my next payment is due to find someone to take over the lease or else I sit on it until Oct 1st. Which isnt the end of the world but I am itching for a new daily driver.

 

good deal for you...much better than what audi does....

 

I posted mine on swapalease for a fee (there probably are some free websites) and also gave a good cash incentive. It depends on how badly and how soon you need to get rid of the car. For me having just bought a 911C4S meant the MB E350 (which was leased until Feb2010) had to go. Within a week boom had a buyer on swapalease. Although you have a desirable model of the MB, time is somewhat of the essence for you. May be you should consider offering a cash incentive and/or picking up the tab for the lease transfer fee. That's just my recommendation but as I mentioned above my siutaion was different then yours. My car also only had 850 miles/month for the remaining period of the lease.

 

w00t I hear ya brother on giving a incentive and I would consider picking up the tab for transfer fee if I found a serious buyer. If it doesn't work then no worries I will just have to wait 6 months before something shinier is in the garage.

 

Gotcha. Good luck with sale. Six more months in that seductively styled sedan with a stellar acceleration aint bad at all.

 

what's the residual on the car?

 

I know it's in the 40k range let me know if you want me to dig deeper but it seemed kind of high I remember.

 

Im in Lima till mid Feb..if its still around then I will look into it. Do you have an pics of the interior? Thanks

At that payment, I strongly believe you would be able to move it very quickly on one of those lease swapping sites.
