Swapalease/lease trader? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Has anyone experienced swapping a lease using these sites?

I'm in a 2014 Ram right now that I leased, and I just think the truck is too much for what I need right now. I've heard great reviews on getting out of your lease using these websites, but I wanted to check to see if anybody is familiar with this concept of swapping a lease.

Anyone?

Just be up front with the costs and expect a loss. I've seen people try to get their down payment back, etc, only to have the car longer than they wanted and dig themselves into a hole.

I'm expecting a loss, but not near as much if I can just someone to take over my payments on the truck with good credit. It seems to me like this site takes care of all the paperwork through the bank you originally have it leased.

I'm not trying to get any return out of this, but just to get out of my payments for years to come for a truck I don't really need.

Just try to get rid of it asap, best bet is to beat someone else's deal for a similar vehicle. Pretty much just lose your down payment and get rid of the vehicle.

I took over a lease using one of the sites, can't remember whether it was swapalease or leasetrader, and it was a very easy and painless process. Took about a month for all the paperwork to go through.
