Carmax saved the day for me.. I had an $45,600 2008 IS350 for $600/mo taxes included as well (also just first month upfront), with 6 months left. I was going to be over my miles, lost a key and had some body damage, i would have been paying about $3000 at the end of the lease. Carmax appraised my car for $550 more than the payoff was going to be, so I got a check for $550 and also got out of paying $3000 so really they saved me $3,550+.
My TAKE:
Congrats on the new ride Irfan! I like the ride a lot! Leasing slightly driven cars can be tricky because the residuals need to be adjusted due to the pre-existing miles, but if the numbers look good, you can actually drive away with a pretty good deal. 335i is awesome and for $600 bucks a month (on a $56k car) that’s a lot of car for not a lot of cash. Good job! Carmax has always been a great place to go to because the trade-in offers far exceed those from dealers. I’ve had dealers tell me Carmax is insane for cutting those deals. Good for US I say! Haahaa.
