An estimate, not a quote. The payment, fees and tax come from the listing and the state’s rules; insurance and gas or charging are our estimates. Your dealer, insurer and driving set the real figures. How we estimate

Incentives

  • $3,000 Cash from the seller counted

    The seller says they will pay you $3,000 to take it over, about $136 a month. Counted: spread over the months left and taken off the monthly price.

    Source: the Leasehackr private transfers listing, read Nov 3. The seller says it; we have not checked it.

Rule: an incentive counts only when its source says it comes on top of the advertised payment, so nothing is taken off twice. Offers for a group count only when you say you are in it.

What a take-over means

You take over someone’s lease. You pay their last 22 months. The months and the miles are theirs, not new ones.

The leasing company must approve you.

  • Model year: 2025.
  • Miles left on the lease: about 28,700, as the listing states them.
  • Transfer fee: $500.
  • The seller says they will pay you $3,000. We take it off the monthly price.

Not confirmed, so we do not call it low

At 12,000 miles a year and U.S. average costs, 397 of the other 446 similar luxury SUVs we price today cost more than this one.

vs 446 luxury SUV deals today, at 12,000 miles and U.S. average costs

This check looks at price only. It cannot say whether the car fits you.

The math behind this

About 89 of every 100 similar luxury SUVs we price today cost more than this one. Pool: the live ranked luxury SUV deals we read, luxury makes with luxury makes only, each priced at the same miles and costs. A car that is not confirmed counts at its worse number.
