335i
Question about getting into a new C-Class

I currently have a pretty loaded 335i, it is a great car and everything but I am getting tired of alot of issues with it (the runflat tires are horrible, BMW service) I really like the new C350 and was thinking is there anyway I can do a trade-in and lease a 350? I am 1.2 years into my 3 year lease, don't plan on doing this for a few months anyway. I would like to know how this would work and if I would take that big of a financial hit? thank you.

get rid of it on leasetrader.com or swapalease.com . I put my BMW650 on it and got out of it really fast, BMW is good with assuming leases, very fast. You can also assume a lease on the same websites. I like them because you can find a short lease 12-24 (or more) and you don't have to lay out any money. The only problem is that Mercedes takes forever to get through the process 5-6 weeks.

I feel you my 545 had a lot of issues, but honestly keep your 335i until the lease is over, may be by that time MB will be offering a more powerful C class

If I may ask, what are the terms of the lease, what is the payment etc? Just curious what those lease at.

I may be wrong, but most leases have gone up in price due to the current situation and residuals dropping like a rock. It might be an attractive offer to someone looking for a 335i if your payment is lower than what they are currently leasing out at.

You ever thought of changing the run-flats?

You can always get out of a lease, its really no different if you bought your car cash. The money you will loss is the difference between how much you have paid so far and what you car is worth. Ya you willl loose money, if any one could walk away from leases anytime with no debt left. The manufactures would all be filing for Chap 11. Question is how bad do you want to get out of your car? I suggest you get your car apprised and find out your buyout. Then ask yourself are you willing to take that loss. Then looking into lease take overs. ( like someone here suggested ) likely that will be your best bet!
