This is most interesting because of the seller's strategy. It's a lease, I think the seller is assuming it will sell higher than the residual and he will pocket the difference.

This is what I want for a second, more practical car. But I’m thinking that there should be more choice when the 2018s move off lease.

Failing that, I might take a chance on a VW Alltrack, despite what I hear about VWs quality issues and dealer experience. I like the idea of the 6 year warranty. There’s even a stick model here in the Atlanta area, if my bad left knee could handle it. Just not ready to pull the trigger until I’m in my next living situation.

Maybe I'm just getting too old, but I think it is lame that the buyer is having to deal with getting the title. If the seller wants to pocket some money, he should part with some first

I would be surprised if it hits the residual amount plus is it me ... I think 29k is NOT low mileage for a 2017 car ...

Also I with Kognito on this one ... I find this a greedy way to make money and meanwhile just how much could you make on this deal .... seems like a lot of work to try to make a thousand dollars or two which again I don’t think this car will do.

With that high of an msrp on a 330 I would think the residual is pretty high, this car is priced in 340 territory.

I'm not sure what the residual would be, but I was shocked that this 2017 was bid up to 42.5k and RNM.

I agree, that is ridiculous ... a 330 wagon for that price ... it must be bidding fever ... I wouldn’t buy that car new for that price.

Interesting six speed manual F10 550 up now. I had completely forgotten about these.
