Most that we've experienced have been negative including one today from a Doctor.

I would stick with Swapalease.com or LeaeTrade.com

Care to elaborate? I may be forced to dump my lease. I would prefer not to get raped too badly.

Well, the only experience we usually have with them is when someone wants to re-lease instead of doing the assumption. They charge the customer a fee to send them to us. If they are not approved they keep the fee. Some customers think we are the ones charging the fee.

I would stick with Swapalease.com or LeaseTrade.com

I got out of my BMW lease using them, for far less of a hit than I expected. While the person assuming the lease and I did most of the work, there were no glitches with the leasetrader service.

I think it all depends on if you have a desirable car, and offer a good value.

Thanks for the info, it is much appreciated. I have found new wealth (haha) and I will be keeping my Benz. It's good to know there are options out there that don't totally kill you on a early termination.
