Default Sell my '82 ???

After purchasing an '02 to keep my '82 company I find out today that MitsuBitchi wants $5,800 to early terminate the lease on my Montero Sport with 28k miles, it has a year and a half left on the lease totalling $7,800, I told them they MUST BE KIDDING!!! But no, they were serious. So I'm thinking about selling the '82 Vette unless any of you guys have a better suggestion.

Difficult problem. But your 82 looks like it is a keeper to me.

I agree, If your 82 is in prime condition it may be worth alot more in the future.

tell Mitsu where to stick their lease...and how can they even do that? Ive never leased anything but that sounds dodgy *** to me, bad situation, but honestly, Id keep both Vettes if I could, A Montero is dime a dozen, Corvettes are a keeper.

I've leased before and it worked for me.You do have to pay a penelty for and early out.Your best bet is to sell the *** car to a private party.It's done all the time.Just have them take over the lease payments and run away!!

Here's the KBB value on the Montero Sport

2002 Mitsubishi Montero Sport ES Utility 4D
Engine: V6 3.0 Liter
Trans: Automatic
Drive: 2 Wheel Drive
Mileage: 28,001

Equipment:
Air Conditioning
Power Steering
Power Windows
Power Door Locks
Tilt Wheel
AM/FM Stereo
Single Compact Disc
Dual Front Air Bags

Consumer Rated Condition: Good

Private Party Value $10,010


This is for the base model in good -- not excellent -- condition. If you sell the truck, you could have a few thousand dollars in your pocket.

So what did you say the problem was again...?
