Default Went to the dealership today...

looking for a trade in for a 350.
pre owned, not new. there is one TP350 sportpkg non nav..testdrove it holy moley its fast... going for 28k 83k-km
now..

i have an 08 is250 MT
73k-km
I hate the manual.
my commute is too traffic -intensive for me to even enjoy my is250 that i work my ***** off to have.
i got my car from this dealership.
i owe 25k on the car what do you think that will run me monthly?
im 2 years and 3 months into my lease
and i wanna get rid of this manual.

any suggestions?

Since you leased your 250 unless you put a huge amount down then you have -equity. You will either have make up the difference in cash or possibly role it into the new note for the used 350. Saying you did put that huge amount of cash down at lease inception then your payments should be pretty low so yes the 350 would probably be more a month. If you didn't out a lot down on the lease and you have to roll the negative equity into the loan for the 350 then yes it will be more a month.

i'm guessing your early lease termination fees will outweigh the benefit, specially since you already 2 years 3 months into it, i'm guessing you went 3 year lease so only 9 months left, do it then not now...

I agree ^^^, check your lease agreement to see if there is any early lease termination fees, I am sure there are, making the switch more expensive. If so, I would wait it out.

there are no early term fees on leases.

your payoff is just your total amount of additional payments + your buyout. Early term fees are a thing of the past. Unless they do it differently in canada

if im not mistaken early termination fee are only when you are not gettin another car from them. if you just want to give it back then you pay a hefty fine. if your getting another car (like you) then they just get the pay off. go to the dealership and see whats up. there are alot of factors that determine your final monthly payments.
