Read your lease. Know that they will try to nickel and dime you for excess wear and tear.

You’re better off changing the game than trying to haggle on the merits.
1. Buy the car (and keep it sell it)
2. Take a fresh lease/purchase with same mfr. they will almost always waive the turn in fee and excess wear and tear charges if you do.
3. Trade it in somewhere else. The market assessment of excess wear and tear will likely be less punitive than your lease cos. And in some states, like Illinois*, there are significant tax benefits.

*In IL, you only pay sales tax on car purchases NET of trade-in. We have relatively few private party sales as a result

But at my new job, my boss asked for a “quick chat” to literally ask me to change the title of a meeting and then chat about christmas. Now that I’m in management, I want to understand it better.
