My car has been on there for about 2 months. Cost me $400 and haven't had one email or call. The site says 200 people have looked at it. My car is brand new, only has 1700 miles on it. I think I wasted my money. They made it sound like it would sell in 3 weeks.

There is a company where I live where you sign a payment plan and you are able to swap out to different cars at will. Hummer one month, Porsche another. The premium is about $200 per month, above a market monthly lease cost, on the $80k car category.

I have used Swap-a-Lease to get out of two leases over the past 4 years. One was for an Audi A6 2.7T 6spd and the other was for a Chrysler Pacifica. I had over a 1000 hits on my Pacifica in the first 3-4 months. The Audi went quickly (less than 4 months), but the Pacifica (not unexpectedly) took longer (5-6 months).

Once you find a buyer, it usually takes anywhere from 3-6 weeks to get the paperwork done with the leasing company to actually transfer the lease.

I was very happy with Swap-a-lease, and I only bought the basic package (I think it cost me $40-$75 to list it).
