Upgrading car model on lease

AllydNYC · 08-17-2008, 11:43 PM

Hey guys, I was wondering if it was possible, before I called the dealer and look stupid to upgrade my 08' 328xi to a 335xi, it's currently leased and if I do upgrade do you think they would charge a lease termination fee? And has anyone done this or heard of someone doing this?

You would essentially be buying a new car and trading in one just after you bought it. In other words, you will get hosed. Probably cost you a couple thousand dollars on top of the price difference of the 328 and 335.

Bad case of buyer's (well, leasee's) remorse, eh?

With the values of cars tanking, expect to pay around 5 g's to make a move like that.
