Welcome, yes you can trade in a leased car, the dealer will figure out details. I know Lexus has a $349 a month with I think 3k down lease deal on the IS 250.

Don't think u can lease a pre-owned, only buy it. Are you financing through Lexus?

Unfortunatly idk, Im leasing an 08 250 AWD for 479 a month with sticker price being around 37k. To get 3000, ask 30 friends for $100 or 10 friends for $300. If you play video games sell the ones you don't want. Idk its hard to come up with $3000 in a short amount of time.

im almost ready to sell my brothers autographed baseballs but he would kill me. maybe i can take out a loan for 3-5,000 or what about those "pay day" loans. right now i have a credit score of 525 so what would people recommend?

Save up a little and maybe build up the credit score before you get yourself in over your head with a car that you really can't "afford"?

You can't afford a lexus, new or CPO. Pay off all your other debt before thinking about a new car.

Lease with no money down these days for 3 years is close to the same as a 5-6 year note. So for your $31k base 250 will be around or a bit over $500 a month. Roll in your negative equity and they can get you in a base IS 250 for about $700 a month with taxes.

Find that $3000 cash and buy a beater in 8 months after the SUV lease is up. Chicks would rather date a guy with his own apartment than someone who has a nice car and lives at home.

You asked for what we would recommend and I'm being honest. Sorry to come across so bluntly.

i was thinking about selling my brothers autographed baseballs but he wouldn't be too happy. so does anyone of any legit places that offer low credit loans. or "pay day" loans. i need about 3-5,000. any help would be nice

Because i do work for a lexus dealer i get a discount $500 above invoice. because i am nineteen i haven't established enough credit. im trying to do this for my parents, and get them out of their 700.00 payment on the suv. and im a chick dude



credit score just udated, now up to 573

Sailing is right (except for assuming you were a guy). You also need to be prepared to take a bath on the SUV lease when you turn it in early. That will be added to the total amount of the lease. You are better off riding out the lease on the Yukon (or whatever it is) than turning it in early and taking the hit. 19 is not a great time to be saddled with a bunch of debt. Then again, I can't think of an age that is good for that.
