My lease is up at the end of September. I had planned to turn it in, but I'd like to give someone the option of owning an XLR for less than a dealer price. It has 29k miles. It is by far the most enjoyable car to drive I've ever experienced. I'm asking $54,900. Basically I need a high enough price to cover my buyout. If interested please contact me via email at bob454@gmail.com. I live in Los Angeles (San Fernando valley)

Standby, your number sounds about right--depends on the mileage--maybe not even that much.

My '06 XLR had a buy-out of $55,000--2-year lease ends in Oct. Couldn't wait that long so I sold the lease to get the V.

My lease is up in March.
I have a 2004 with about 17000 on it.
Would it be better to trade it in, sell it before the lease is up or keep it and try and sell it myself?
I don't have anything worng with it but I may want one of the 2009's if they have a few more goodies on them.

I always go with a broker. every city or town has one except for Death Valley. They range in fees, but is well worth all the advertising they do on e-bay, and other car sales web sites including some magazines. They will take about 60 pictures and post them and you can drive it until he needs t show it, He will give you a time that he needs to show it and ask you to leave. Come back in a few days for the check or in an hour to pick it back up if the guy isn't interested. Real easy.

My guess is your residual value is way higher than what the car is worth in trade or a private party sale. I would just turn it in and buy or lease another one as a separate deal. Bob is right about using a broker to get some estimates. They are not always the best deal but will get you in the ballpark.
