The headline sounds absurd. How can someone get paid to lease a vehicle ?
Let me explain.
It is a well known fact that we are in a recession. Many jobs have been lost as a result and for the foreseeable future further losses may continue. For those that have lost their jobs, financial obligations such as mortgages, Car Lease payments, cell phone bills, and subscriptions are still owed. Many such payments have contracts that cannot be exited and have several or many years left on them.
Lets focus on Car Lease payments. Someone who has recently leased a vehicle for a period of 36 or 48 mos has paid many fees. Taxes, license, registration , security deposit and in many cases a big down payment are just some of them. They just got laid off. Yet that person still has many months left on their contract.
This person would rather pay someone to take their lease payment off their hands and relieve them of their obligation which they no longer can afford. A financial incentive of several thousand dollars is not unusual. Not only can you get paid to take over someone's lease, you can also save on the many fees it take to put a new car on the road, especially that down payment.
You can actually get paid to lease a car.
Well, you are probably thinking....how do I find such deals/people who are willing to do that.
