Steve, we leased pretty much at the same time.My mileage is very low and I may buy but am interested in your situation.
Sales tax just on the payment in NJ.

 

He emailed me back and said he was going to run some numbers and get back to me tomorrow. I'll keep y'all posted!

 

Sorry Steve but it's not gonna happen. Go buy you some tires (like I did)

 

I'm fully aware it ain't gonna happen, but it'll be interesting to see what he comes back with LOL

 

I'm guessing it'll be in the 700-800 with no down.

 

If its $700 with nothing out of pocket its a deal. Thats what I'm paying now. 750-800 I'll pass.

 

I'll contribute $1.00 toward the first payment.

 

And that would be for 48 months to stretch out the upside down. 27 or 36 will be in the 900's I think.

 

I wouldn't do 48 months. I'd want 27 months, maybe 36.

 

At leaste you're entertaining an awesome color!

 

I have excellent taste

 

That's not happening but hey you never know the GS is lower in price so could happen but I think you will def be paying more, also for sure you will be upside down. Good luck though hope you get it, and post pics.

 

The GS they have in stock is actually more expensive than mine was...makes it even less likely

 

If there's a will, there's a way. Either way, you win, you still have a nice GS.

 

Good luck, I have two anecdotes..

1) I was able to get out of a lease a full year early and they bought me out clean and clear because I picked up another car.

2) I also did this to avoid buying new tires! In the end though, I hated the second car so much that I took a hit on it just to get rid of it.

In short, good luck! But don't do it JUST to avoid buying new tires. The ML is nice though.
