My lease is ending soon (April 3rd) and didn't want to start a new thread. My residual is only $31k , and the Manheim auction price for cars similar to my, range from $34k-36k. Any chance in negotiating with Porsche Financial, or are they savy enough to know that my residual is too low to bother negotiating with me. Also, had a question with the inspection at the end. If I end up keeping the car, do I not have to worry about the fees associated with lease ends such as rock chips, excessive tire wear etc etc since i'll be buying the car out.

 

Every person I know who has leased a Porsche faces one constant --the buyout price. It's not negotiable.

If you buyout the car .. you won't have to fix anything. It becomes your car.

 

Thanks for the info. So if I buyout the car can I just ignore the lease-end inspection results since the car will be mine.

 

Yes -but there is an inspection period priort to the lease return . I am not sure when you have to commit to the purchase. Most people I know who have bought the car will discuss it beforehand .

 

Leased cars all my life and never bought one back.
My vote would be No.
