I am looking at trading in my 2015 Escalade, but I am currently in a lease with Ally. I know some members have traded in their Cadillacs early, and I was wondering how this all works. I was under the impression that Lease Buyout is calculated by adding the amount you still owe (month payment x months left on lease) to your buy option amount (printed on contract).I have spoken to one dealer who said Ally makes it hard for dealers to buyout the lease and it would be better to buy the truck from Ally then sell it to the dealer. I am new to all of this, so if someone could explain I would really appreciate it. On a side note does anyone know the auction price or solid trade in value on a 15 Luxury AWD Escalade. Thinking about a Platinum or some form of electric suv.
