2013 Focus Electric lease swap in Chicago

[pjanisch]

I'm looking to exit my lease on a 2013 white Focus electric. The car is awesome but I have taken a new job where they provide me with a company car.

Current mileage is 13,600 and was leased in May of 2013. No issues with the car what so ever, I will even include the winter tires that I purchased for it.

Payment is $290/month on 13500 mile/yr lease ending in May 2016. I put $3k down, only looking to get $1k in return.

Thanks!

This is a good deal for someone. It's going to cost you $221 a month for 24 months to pick up this lease. (total $5304) That is pretty inexpensive for a $40,000 vehicle. It's also less than $3000 a year to drive a new car. That is the cheapest that I know of for driving a nice new car.

It will probably save you over $300 a month in gas that you would be spending in your regular ICE vehicle. You would be ahead of the game and driving a really nice new vehicle that is under warranty.

I don't know what the FORD requirements are for transferring a lease, but if you are currently spending over $221 a month in gas, I would jump on this. If you save more than $221 a month in gas then it's like you are getting a "free car".

How do you get $221? The payment is $290/month and he indicates that he expects the buyer to give him $1000 down to take it off his hands.

I think the numbers changed. It looks like it's about $331 a month at this point.

What numbers changed? The OP didn't dver edit his post to change numbers.

Any interest? I'm willing to lower the payment a little bit if I can a suitable leaser.

At the moment, that's more than I could lease a new one for here in CT.
