Hi Guys:
Here's an interesting one for you.
My daughter has just had another baby and would like to move to a 7 seater vehicle.
She and my son-in-law currently have 17 months of a 36 month lease remaining on a fully loaded 2018 Audi Q5 SUV, with Premium Plus Package and would like to transfer this lease to someone else.
If you are not familiar with how this works, check out the link at the bottom to swapalease.com where the vehicle has just been listed.
It's quite a simple transaction where Audi will do a credit check on the proposed new lessee,(just like they do on anyone leasing a car) and then they have the new lessee sign an agreement saying that they are now leasing the car, for the balance of the original term and payments. The whole transfer is completed in 3 to 4 weeks.
The beauty of this arrangement is that you are leasing the car for only 17 months at less than an identical car would cost you over 36 months, if you go to a dealer. Also, nothing out of pocket! No deposit and no dealer fee! At the end of the lease, you can either buy the vehicle at the pre-determined price (already written into the lease agreement) or just hand the car back and 'walk away'. Great for anyone who does not want to commit to a long lease.
The only fees that the new lessee would pay is $100 for the credit check and $350 that Audi (Volkswagen Credit) charge for the transfer fee.
Lease transfers are big business, as you will see when you go to the site. I always lease my cars and, in the last few years, I have transferred 3 cars to new lessees.
Anyway, if anyone is interested in taking over this lease, please send me a PM and we can go from there.

I have been on Pinside for many years and first class references are available.
Thanks so much for looking at this.
