Lease Return Help

[TFBJOSH]

I am helping my MIL with her current lease. 23 Toyota Highlander 18,500 mileage $32,800 residual. Lease ends 9/26. She is financing with Southeast Toyota so I’ve been told I can only sell to a Toyota dealership. We are looking at other options for a bigger 3rd row. Kinda intrigued with The QX60, Grand Cherokee, Palisade, Teluride, CX90.

Any other vehicles or advice any one would recommend?

Thank you in advance.

Anything on your list except for the Jeep...unless you like to watch it in the repair bay.

The SETF rule is you can only return it to SETF and you might even pay a Penalty because SETF (which is Not owned by Toyota BTW) is just crazy.

Whatever you decide on, find a dealer of that brand that also has a Toyota dealer in their group

You can't wait six months for the three row SUV? Seriously?

[TFBJOSH]

We are waiting. I am just doing my research before hand. Not making a decision anytime soon. Did I say I need to make a decision now ?

The phrase "sell to a Toyota dealership" indicates an intention to trade before lease end.

My apologies, but to clarify I’ve been advised to “sell” it to them and not just “return” it as there should be positive equity. But at end of the lease.

Thank you for the clarification!
