Has anyone used Swapalease.com or similar?

I may need to get rid of RX-8 quickly as I'm leaving the country for work reasons and need to exit the lease on my RX-8. My options are to try passing the lease onto someone else (probably with an incentive in the deal) or buy the car from Mazda then sell it on.

I do not want to take a beating on the lease buyout/re-sale value but do not want to waste time by trying to find someone to take over the lease.

Has anyone here used Swapalease.com in the past and had any degree of success?

Cheers.

If you can, try to have someone assume your lease without a website involved. They are simply the middle men and will charge you $150++ for finding an potential candidate (which may be worth it). They too will be charged $150++.

Call up your leasing company and find out the details about transfering your lease. They can tell you all the details you need including transfer fees, special requirements, lease assumption papers, etc. Try to advertise on this website and the local paper first.

dont buy it, it loses a lot of value if you are going to be gone for a long time. getting your lease taken over is the best option.
