My mom's co worker and a friend got that deal. And it was a promotion a while back advertised on the nissan website (not related to their leases though since they got it outside of the promotion)

More than that if you can get buyers. I've talked to a guy who does 10+ cars a month by himself. And then there's those two guys who's the middleman's middleman companies that connect them to the buyers and moved 2000 cars (worth $80 million according to the articles) in 2013.

:/ Man... you overpaid... People are NORMALLY negotiating leases for a base nissan leaf for $200 a month with zero downpayment...

Ya. I was the middleman that fulfills orders (which is basically as many as you can get of a pretty broad range of color combinations) of the people on the other side. I don't think I've ever met anyone that does it with their own money and hope to find a buyer on the other side... So there's basically zero risk for…

what do you mean? the 800-1k to the straw buyer for buying the car?

And I don't have a blog or anything, I'll just do it on Oppositelock and maybe they'll promote the article to the actual Jalopnik page.

How so?

Well, it's going to sound like a rant against dealerships and manufacturers lol. It'll probably take me a day or two (or after the weekend) to get time to write most of it.

Well yeah. The buyers have their own insurance otherwise they can't even drive... But they don't have to register the car to the insurance and pay extra for that initial insurance cost since they're shipping it to a port anyways... Some states won't give you the title to the car (or something along those lines) unless…

Not really. I got paid for getting other people to buy cars with other people's money in exchange for like $1000, then sending them to a shipping company and exporting it to China.

Well I know lol. I'm Chinese and moved to the U.S. from China lol.

Or they just go through the proper channels because they have to? Sure you can speed it up by paying off the port officials, but it's not too common...

They don't even have to pay off the guys at the custom since it's all legal... There's nothing illegal about buying a car in the U.S., ship it to a port, fill out the exporting papers and pay for shipping (unless it's to a embargo country, which China is not), and then pay the customs taxes on the other end and etc...…

They can't do that since they can't prove that you knew it was a exporter that bought the car. But the export agreement does say that you owe the dealership something around $25k if the car got exported within a year because that would be roughly what the manufacturer would fine and amongst other damages cause to the…

Ya. That's the thing. you have 30 days without insurance as opposed to immediately. Plenty of time to ship the car off to a port and get the titles and export it.

The no-export agreement also has a $25000 clause on it making you liable for the $25000 roughly of damages caused to the dealership by the car manufacturers from the export of the vehicle

That's actually one of the ways i "advertised" except replace 4-6 thousand with $1000-$1500. $2.5-6k is the middleman/exporter would make since all the buyer has to do is literally go in and buy the car.

Nope. There is zero risk of getting stuck with $150k of SUV. I knew someone who knew the Chinese importers personally so they wired me the money up front before I even knew the business. The buyers never have to spend a single penny because we either give them a cashier's check for the remaining loan payments and…

Nope.... exporters cosigning on the loan for the purchaser will instantly flag it and deny you the sale.

Well, the difference in prices in different markets are the entire reason why there's the gray market for exports. The main thing is that out of the inflated price for the cars in China, there's a hefty import tax of 50% on foreign made cars. on that, the main reason for grey market imports are that the Chinese…
