I have been to Carvana, Vroom, CarMax, AutoNation and Drivetime and all either state in their policies they don't buy any leased vehicles or was told specifically that they would not buy a leased Tesla. I even had the written buyout packet in hand from Tesla Finance with the payoff amount, instructions for sending title, etc. fully completed and ready to go and nobody wants to touch a Tesla lease.
So not sure what I'm going to do now. Maybe swapalease.com? Anyone had luck with that? I only have a little over a year of payments left on the lease. I might end up just sticking it in my garage and letting it sit until the lease runs out and then turning it back in to Tesla.
Anyone figured out a way to buy the car from Tesla yourself, even though there is no end of term buyout option in the lease? I could do that and then all these dealers would be happy to buy it from me if I held the title. Before they new it was a Tesla lease CarMax offered me $59,000 for it (only $4k below MSRP and $14k above what Tesla offered as trade-in credit).
