Is the payoff that they give me going to be the adjusted payoff?
Awesome, Thanks. That is what I needed. I will get the payoff and cross my fingers. The back of the lease talks about an adjusted payoff. Is the payoff that they give me going to be the adjusted payoff?

Then you look up kbb good trade value and it is $24,500. That means you have at least $1500 in negative equity in your trade. (the numbers above are ficticious and just for illustrative purposes)
Now lets say the 2007 you want is $36,000 MSRP. Your dealer may give you the full $24,500 value for your car, but will expect you to pay close to MSRP for the new car or charge you a bunch of fees. Or the dealer will give you less on your trade and come down from MSRP a little.
So the payoff that the lease company quotes you is the TOTAL amount that needs to be paid for you to walk away from the car...

I think they mean it is adjusted for an early termination fee...it should be. Just ask the rep when you call... Tell them that you are considering trading and ask them if this is the amount the dealer will have have to pay to purchase the car from you... When you go into the dealer, if you are not sure, the dealer will call your lease company to find out.

I just got the payoff from IFS. It looks like it is actually only $28000. My car is worth around $26000 so I don’t think the trade is feasible right now. However, I will definitely give it a try in about 5 months when the 07’s are plentiful and my trade should be equal to my payoff. What happens if you have positive equity in your leased car and you decide to get out of the lease early? Do you get the difference between what your payoff is and what they give you in trade?
