Selling leased E320 - Help

This is new territory for me. How does it work when you sell the car that you are leasing? My payoff is $42000. Someone is willing to buy my car for $40000. Who should pay the tax? Do we both pay tax?

Need reply asap!

Thanks In Advance.

Can't you call the bank or whoever you're leasing through? I'm sure they've dealt with this scenario before.

I called the dealer and they had me contact mbcredit but their phone lines have been down since this morning. Then tried mbcc and mbcredit and both site are not working properly. Not sure if it has to do with the huge blackout on the east coast.

Just wanted a quick answer for my potential customer.
Thanks anyways.

I strongly suspect taxes will be due on each transaction: you paying off the lease and the 3rd party buying the car.

It will depend if your payoff is $42k or the residual is $42k. If you called MBCC and they gave you the payoff of $42k, that will usually include any taxes or fees owed. If your residual is $42k, then you will be responsible for sales tax on that amount....Then when the buyer goes to the DMV to register his new vehicle, he will have to pay sales tax on the purchased amount. I hope this helps!!!
