2013 Leaf SL - Take Over Lease Payment

I leased the LEAF and a week later, I accepted an offer which means relocating to a different city and a lot of driving.
I would like to transfer my lease and I would be willing to given an additional $1,600 in cash, so the effective lease payment would be $299 and there are no other fees or down payments.
Car details:
2013 LEAF SL - Glacier pearl (white) exterior, black leather interior, navigation, splash guards etc.
15,000 miles per year
35 month lease
about 350 miles to date

You will be getting a new LEAF at a MONTHLY lease price that is at least $45 less per month.
Please reply if you are interested.

DECIDED TO KEEP THE CAR FOR NOW.

Where are you located? Problem with NMAC leases is that despite the transfer, the original (you) guy is still on the hook.

As cwerdna said, if this is a NMAC lease, you will still be liable for the payments (and the return of the car at lease end in a condition acceptable to them) even if someone else takes over the payments.

If you can financially swing it, you may be better off just purchasing the car from NMAC; as you just started the lease, it would basically be the Adjusted Capitalized Cost (price of the car minus any down payments to include the $7500 credit). Or is your new job so far away that it wouldn't be feasible given the Leaf's range limitations?

I am in San Diego, and the new job is in LV; there are charging stations there but not as common as in So Cal, and I have to be driving around quite a bit and that's not going to work.
Can't afford the purchase option at this time either.
I know that I will be the secondary on a lease -- hoping that the new lessee has a decent credit score and would like to keep his/her credit in good standing. I don't know if it is possible or not, but I am also willing to throw in an additional $1,500, so the responsible party will have $299 / mo lease for 35 months and no additional costs.

Does it have the technology package with Bose and Surround Camera system?
Is it $299 including tax? I was looking for a glacier white LEAF. But not till November probably, when I return my BMW 335d. Unfortunately no more BMW deals like the one I had...$57K car for $325/month including tax! ($1000 drive off). Ah, I just realized it is Glacier Pearl White, same as my 2012. I was actually looking for the lighter colored white.

I see that you decided to keep the Leaf for now. FWIW, I leased 2 Nissan Maximas in 2010. My wife became disabled and no longer needed hers. I took it back to the dealer. They paid off the lease and gave my wife a check for $1,000.

You may not be that lucky, but at least you will know where you stand. Taking the risk of someone assuming your lease is usually not a good idea.
