New poster, here...
Been thinking about getting a leaf for a while, but missed out on the really good deals over the summer.
I'm looking for the collective opinion about an unusual purchase opportunity...
An acquaintance with a '13, SV with QC/LED is 8 months into his lease, and has fallen on some difficult economic times. He's looking to get out of the lease. Does it make sense for me to consider buying out his lease? The way I see it, the 7500 has greatly reduced the price, as has the payments he's already made. So the price should be pretty reasonable. But I don't have any experience with car leases of any sort, so I don't know for sure.
Is this a stupid idea? Is it a great way for me to get a lease at a discount price and helping this guy out at the same time?
Folks out there with a lease: Is there an easy way on NMAC's website to find out what the buy-out value of the lease would be so we can start negotiating?
Lastly...what would you consider to be a reasonable sale price for this situation? I'm guessing the car has less than 8000 miles on it.
I appreciate any thoughts on the matter.
BTW--this is in WA state, if it makes any difference.
