Extend a lease?

[GenesisX]

The lease on my G80 Sport is up in early November. The 2021s are not arriving on dealer lots until sometime in November. I really want to stay with the brand but I cannot be without a car. Has anyone ever extended a lease for a short period?

It was mentioned before and yes, it was easy to do. Give them a call.

The last few times I called, the recording stated that they were too busy and to call back later.

Would it be a good idea to purchase it instead?

I am at the same sort of crossroads since my last payment is in Nov. and I can keep it until xmas. The residual is 28k and I have 28k miles on it. 2018 premium. Caravana is selling 2017's for bascially the same and 2018s for about 29k.

It is a company lease so I cannot.

Gotcha...im trying to figure out if I should or not

Would the company sell it to you?

Mines not a company lease..sorry for the confusion. I am trying to figure out if i turn it in and go in a different direction or if its a good deal to buy it and hold on to it for a while until the new 80's and gv80s are out for a while

Talk to the leasing company. We all had the option of buying our company leased cars directly from the leasing company at a very good price. My old car became my wife's when I got the new one.

That car will be for sale through one channel or another. If a good deal grab it. Leasing companies like easy too.

Not something I want to do. I have a pretty generous leasing program, I get a new car every 36 months. I don’t want to get involved with buying this car just to resell it. I already own too many cars as it is.

I'm in the same boat. My lease expired in August (I thought I timed the '21 Sport release just right). I called Genny and extended my lease 6mo with the option to return any time before the end date. The only downside is that the warranty has timed out so I'm on the hook for any dealership (non-recall) service.

I finally got a hold of the end of lease concierge department. I had to go in through the collections department and even that person couldn’t get a real person on the phone for quite some time. I think I was on hold for about a total of 30 minutes before I got to the correct person. My lease isn’t up until November 1 so I have to wait until October 1 to extend my lease. They don’t make it easy.

When the time comes its pretty painless. All you have to do is ask for the extension, they send you the contract by email, you sign and make the first payment on your next due date (the remaining payments will be auto-deducted.). I just hope Genesis releases the G80s before Jan.

The guy I talked so said the end of Oct was unlikely at this point even though that’s what all the dealers are saying. I hope it’s before January too.

I get a sneaky suspicion they will release the eG80 in the fall and save the G80s for a spring release. I haven't' seen a hint of the Sport on any Korean auto blog since earlier this summer.
