Oh and for what its worth you can fit 3 convertible carseats in a IS250 if you buy Diono Radian R100 or R120. Its the rear facing one that gets you because there isn't enough leg room for it to fit on the side.
Either way I have until July to figure it out. Ive driven almost every luxury SUV on the market.
ML350 - tops my list at the moment. interior is nice and rear seat is very wide. Price is cheaper than other comparable SUV's in its class
X3/X5 - pricey for what you get
Cayenne - My second choice but the rear seat is not flat and it may not be wide enough. But the interior is beautiful!! expensive once you add options.
Tahoe/Suburban - waiting to see new 2015 model before I can make decision. price is good for what you get.
Range Rover sport - Dealer said there is an 8 month wait list plus people say the reliability is horrid. But that backseat… wow.

You need a 7 seater SUV - not a 5 seater. Never understood why people buy 5 seater SUV's. I would suggest the MDX, but the anchor's are off for the middle seat, and you might not be able to put 3 car seats in the 2nd row, but you do have 3 rows (counting the 2 front seats). All depending on if you want to have the 3rd car seat in the back row. Maybe try the Q7 or Infiniti JX?
The reason I was looking at a suburban is because you can get them with 2 captains chairs as the second row which makes it a lot easier to get to the rear. A Tahoe is nice but with the 3rd row up there is no trunk space whatsoever to fit a stroller, groceries, etc.
Oh and for what its worth I owned a 2014 MDX before my IS. I traded it in 2 weeks after I got it for the IS. With 2 seats strapped in there the MDX seat WILL NOT fold forward making the rear seat a useless waste of space.
I test drove a Tesla also. There is a TON of space in the trunk and frunk. They drive nice but the interior quality seriously sucks for a 80K car. The tech is good but the seats…. Oh man the seats are not worthy of that car.
Sooo…. back to the topic… What should I ask for my car? I don't mind taking a loss. Just wondering what a "fair" price would be. Also, it is a lease. Should I payoff my lease then sell it outright as private party? The dealer wanted me to payoff the remaining lease payments. If I was going to do that I might as well keep it as a spare car. Has anyone ever tried Swap a Lease?

Check auto trader and see what you can find on there. I just checked and saw a '14 250 (non F sport), leather and NAVI, 12000 miles for $37,991. This is at Lexus dealership in Atlanta. But, that could give you a good idea locally. ??

Go Nissan Rogue as you never know when you will be attacked by Zombie Snowmen!
World War Zs ???
Without the joking, it seems $40-42.9k isn't too much to ask => Auto Trader
So I would go $40k as you seem like the kind of guy who takes care of his ride and Nebula + Red will be a rare find.
