lease buyout

May 10, 2004 4 Replies

Just discovered that Subaru is not interested in negotiating a lease buyout. Take it for the buyout price or return it. "We have a very strong aftermarket, they said.


So ...I have never run into that before and I have been leasing for a while. Normally, there is some negotiation. Most companies would prefer not having to handle, detail and sell the automobile.

Sure, they can get more by selling it back to the dealer....

Sort of like you selling a used car to a dealer, or selling it yourself

Economics 101

Where I live, the dealers are aggressively seeking Subaru trade-ins. I think that between the high resale value and the desire to have "starter" Subarus for new customers, the rules that apply to most used cars don't apply to Subarus.
