I have a lease coming up (Grand cherokee, like 8000 miles over 3 .5 years.) saw this. I barely have even heard of the company. Should I legit look into it? any feedback on genesis?
2nd question. Im not normally a lease guy. With having such few miles on the lease, do I get money back? Im not looking to rebuy/lease at the end. just looking to dump it
You need to look up the value of your vehicle now with current miles.
Then you look up the residual value of your vehicle at lease end (that number is fixed from when you signed your lease). It's also called the payoff.
If you're car is worth more than the residual/payoff, then you're throwing money away if you just turn in the car.
If the payoff is $20K, and your car is worth $25K, you just handed over $5K.
Basically, if that's the case, you buy the car for the payoff and then sell it for whatever profit. That can be done at the dealership but you will always get less from them than you would in the private market. Just depends on how much you want to do, what your time/effort is worth, and what the dealer is willing to give you.
Prices are coming down on used cars but they are still inflated. You'd be foolish to not get the above info that would take about 5 minutes of your time. You can check value at places like KBB or Edmunds or Truecar. Unless your car is worth less than the payoff or only barely above it, take advantage of the current market and get money back.
