Help needed

[Jbhammond1]

Hello everyone. I am seeking some help from you fellow Buick owners. I have tried several avenues and thought this may help. I am looking for someone to take over my lease on my 2011 LaCrosse. Due to work/ financial issues I am being forced to find ways to get rid of this beautiful vehicle. I have always loved Buick and love what they are doing now. So would anyone know someone that can help. I have put it on Craigslist and swapalease with no luck. Thought maybe networking may help. Any suggestions?

Have you contacted the dealership to see if they would buy it back?

I will have to look into that, but I think I will end up owing the difference. I am not sure if they will give me everything it is worth.

The problem is they will probably give you "everything it's worth", which may be less than you "owe".

That is what I am afraid of. I just sent an email to the dealership to see what they say.

Whether they are interested in your car or not will depend on what it costs them to buy it out and how badly they want a used Lacrosse. If the buy out is close to the wholesale value they may decide to go for it. It would be unreasonable to expect them to give you a retail price or as you put it what it is worth.

Do you have Carmax where you live? They often sell their used vehicles at a premium, so you will usually get a decent trade in value for it.

Swap-a-lease and Lease Trader do work, but, the people who use the site look for "bargains" where the original lessee put a large down payment, so the monthly payment is lower than normal.

Just talked to the dealership and they are putting a deal together, so we'll see.
