2nd that. Dumped the lease to Carmax, walked away with a check, just took delivery of my LR-AWD Tesla Model 3. The car is phenomenal, lots of toys and a very intuitive display. However, there is one surprise. There is no XM radio in the car! While driving the car home from the delivery...

I just happened to be looking at Carmax and here is my car I sold to them for $17,400. I have to wonder if they are going to get their asking price. Does Carmax deal? https://www.carmax.com/car/20402462

Well, I wish you good luck, I do not follow what you are doing, but please don’t be mad at me, I was born this way, can’t help it. Good luck. Within the next 2 weeks I will be taking delivery of my 2021 LR AWD Tesla Model 3, so I will be wishing all the contributors on this site who have...

I am not clear on a previous post. Your current lease is 3 years, and you want to extend it one more year to 4 years at the same price you pay now per month?

Leftie, as far as getting a good deal from the dealer, don’t hold your breath. They will say and do anything to get you to come into their showroom where they will reneg on any verbal stuff they said to you. Carmax is a straight shooter. Good luck.

I don’t think there are any issues here, Leftie said he will disclose. Another poster stated that they will go around the car with a gauge and check the paint depth, so if they do that, they would see the paint on the door is different than the rest of the car. Now perhaps some Carmax...

Sounds like a plan, let us know how it goes.

In an earlier post you said you had an accident and the door was replaced, I think most would consider that an “accident” not a bumper scratch. Again, no lawyer here, but if you do not report that, then you are concealing information they request. That is certainly up to you to report or not...

Never considered a PHEV

It sure is enticing to walk away with a check, I did. But coughing up $300 is not a big deal when you look at the total picture. I am no lawyer but not disclosing I guess is called Fraud. In your lease agreement it says that if you do buy the car from the thief dealers, you have to pay Nissan...

If you ran it thru your insurance co then it might show up

I thought the numbers at Carmax were very competitive, in fact the highest of all the places I checked. With such low mileage you should get a very good offer from them. They do ask in the online offer if the car was in an accident. Mine was not, had a small dent/scratch on the pass door...

Reporting back: Yes. Yes. Yes Carmax will buy the Nissan Leaf lease. Buyout: $15,683.63 Carmax offer: $17,400 I walk away with check: $1716.37 Did not have to pay Nissan $300 as stated in lease if I want to buy Nissan dealer said only a Nissan dealer can do this. Total BS. In and...

Let me explain it again: I have a 36 month lease, paying $447 per month, 6 months left on lease, so for 30 months have paid $13,410. In October when lease is up I can walk away. However, Nissan Finance gives me buy price now for $15, 568. CarMax has given me written offer for buying the car now...

I would have to look at the lease agreement to see what I paid. It was a loaded SL. I put $0 down. Payoff is $15,568.63 I looked at CarMax selling my car, realizing they need to make about $1800+ on the deal (the difference between what they paid me and what they sell it for). My offer is...
