Cost to drive and risk management is king! :) but ... when you want that newest model, common sense usually goes out the windows ;)

I realize Im pretty off topic but does anybody know of a good site to watch newly released tv shows online ?

In this day and age, with information so readily available, if an sales person is still going old school and giving you the 4 square payment only quote, you should turn around and walk out immediately indeed!

3 ways 1) trade in (as Dennis said), appraised value vs buyout value, you might need to pay a little, but will usually be less than remaining payments 2) buyback and resell privately, however you will lose on taxes and need to have cash on hand (or line up a buyer first) 3) lease takeover, find someone to takeover the lease, there is usually a minimum term remaining dictated by manufacturer. There are services like LeaseBusters that help pair people.

It depends on the manufacturer. BMW and MINI does.

That is true, just like if you are renting a car at the airport. However there are usually an excess wear and use insurance to cover non collision issues that you can purchase to mitigate that.

@@svaltair yes, but this was not mentioned in the video. I have never owned a BMW so it is probably different with them. They cover the maintenance too as I know, which wasn't mentioned either.

I didn't have time to mention excess wear since there was so much to cover and the video was getting long :D. Each manufacturer's lease return policy is different, consumers should understand what the terms are prior to purchase of course.
