No Steering Wheel, No Pedals, No Problem

Posted on by

Futuristic cars aren’t something out of a scene from “Back to the Future”. In the very near future, we could all be driving around in automated, electric cars with no steering wheels or pedals of any sort. Google has been building and testing driver-less cars at its California plant for the last four years. The electric powered vehicles only have two buttons: a red “e-stop” button, in cases of emergency, and a start button.

Google has come up with a way to take humans out of the equation. The car can be summoned by an application on your smart phone, can see about 600 feet in all directions, and has a range of roughly 100 miles. Possible future plans to use these automated vehicles will be to replace taxis in places like Manhattan. Why spend $5 per mile on cab fare when you can spend $0.50 per mile to go the same distance in half the time?

Though these cars won’t be made available to the public for some time, some day we may want to transfer in and out of our driverless cars, simply because we want something different. Like the leasing market for traditional cars, there will eventually be a lease transfer market for driverless cars.

Why be held captive by your current lease? Swapalease.com is a different kind of online automotive marketplace matching individuals looking to transfer out of a lease with individuals looking to take over a lease. The process is seamless and simple. So what are you waiting for?

First Impressions Matter! The Importance of Profile Pictures

Posted on by

Whether we like it or not, humans are visual people. If we are trying to find someone on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram and they do not have a profile picture chances are we will pass on their profile. The same can be said for cars. With online shopping becoming more and more popular, people are now opting to shop for cars online. People looking to transfer out of their lease should invest some time into choosing actual photos of their car to give them the best chances for transfer success.

A recent article in Automotive News revealed that stock photos aren’t as convincing and engaging as real, professionally taken photos of a car. The evidence further suggests that color pictures fare better than black and white photos. Just as choosing the right profile picture for an online dating site is important, choosing the right car photo is just as important.

The same characteristics that make for a successful personal profile picture can also be applied to vehicle profile pictures. Taking a good quality, color, non-pixelated picture can be the deciding factor whether someone will want to take on your lease.

Having quality photos helps you move your car. This allows you to expedite your next car shopping experience. Whether you want out of your lease, time is money and you don’t want to spend any more time than you already have on your lease.

The Negative Side Of A Large Down Payment

Posted on by

Why buy a car when leasing one is so much more convenient – and affordable? A recent article in a leading New Jersey media outlet, NJ.com, found that consumers are confused when it comes to leasing a car. They aren’t sure whether to put money down or not, how much to put down, and what exactly are the benefits of making a down payment on a leased car.

Large down payments are not only costly, but they can work against you in a lease environment, particularly if the vehicle is involved in an accident. Consumers need to pay close attention to this aspect of the negotiation process. Is there a better way?

We’ve all heard the old adage time is money and in leasing cars it is no different. Why get locked into a long-term contract when you can transfer your lease to someone else in as little time as possible? Besides, why waste money on a down payment for a car when you can get one for zero money down? All you have to do is take over someone else’s lease. It’s that simple!

Swapalease.com is a different kind of automobile marketplace that connects potential buyers to sellers based on their needs. People looking to transfer out of their lease are matched up with potential consumers on swapalease.com and the transfer process is begun. Swapalease.com requires NO down payment of any kind and the buyer can pick up right where the seller left off. What better way to get a new car than assuming someone else’s lease and making no down payment? The car of your dreams is waiting for you.

Car Lease Payments Following Family Death

Posted on by

The last thing you want to be thinking about after the death of a loved one is your car lease. But that was exactly the case recently for a woman who lost her husband of 60 years, reported by the LA Times.

Sally Shafton, 81 years old, received a bill from Toyota that said she owed over $2,000 on her late husband’s recent Prius lease. When Bob Shafton made the agreement, he understood that he was ill, but the salesman at the time “assured him that death would qualify for the interruption of the lease.”

Death, however, is considered as an early termination of your contract, which can yield thousands of dollars in penalty fees. Already with a heavy heart, the widow now found herself with another bill, another worry to attend to. Toyota isn’t backing off either, explaining that the verbage is in the fine print and that the amount must be paid.

Swapalease has a history of working with families in order to get a lease off the estate. Instead of dealing with financial collectors, you can transfer out of the lease contract and give the responsibility and the payment to someone else. That gives you the chance to deal with much more important matters.

Whether it’s a family death, or a simple desire to opt out of your current lease and change to the newest vehicle technology, visit Swapalease.com or call 866-SWAPNOW.
