The listed payment the LeaseTrader listing, read Nov 5.

Tax (about) State revenue department pages, 50 of 51 states sourced. Read Oct 30.
Extra miles the LeaseTrader listing, read Nov 5. Where the ad gives no per-mile rate, we use $0.25 a mile.
Insurance (about) The Zebra model quotes and MoneyGeek 2025 state averages. Quotes read Oct 19, state table read Oct 30.

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

$2,000 Cash from the seller counted
The seller says they will pay you $2,000 to take it over, about $67 a month. Counted: spread over the months left and taken off the monthly price.
Source: the LeaseTrader listing, read Nov 5. 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 30 months. The months and the miles are theirs, not new ones.

The leasing company must approve you.

Model year: 2026.
Miles left on the lease: about 23,400, as the listing states them.
Transfer fee: about $500 (the listing does not say). Ask the leasing company (the bank that owns the car), not the seller.
The seller says they will pay you $2,000. We take it off the monthly price.
