so after talking in here and being convinced to extend my lease, i called the leasing company. They now want me to pay 50 bucks extra each month and only offer 12 month extensions. Thats just ridiculous.
I definitely understand it. They likely want to force you to trade it in so you pay the return fee + the value they get on the used car, or you trade it back for another lease.
During quarantine my lease came up in May 2020 and I went month to month for about 7 or 8 months through Toyota. They let me keep my same payment but that was the height of the pandemic.
The move has been to buy out the lease and resell it on the secondary
because they are looking for pre-owned. But, when I called, with only 1 year into the lease, he said the deal wouldn't really net me anything. I pretty much break even selling them my Rav4 and ending up with the same 2020 Rav4 they are trying to get rid of.

I guess they're just trying to move leftover 2021 cars, but I'm curious what they are going to offer.

Don’t give them another penny except for a buy out.

They are trying to get people to give their cars away and reap the reward, play hardball back.
