Why so many lease swaps in NY?

KANdaddy · 12-05-2018, 08:51 PM

Is it just me or does it seem that the majority of lease swap requests on here or sites like swapalease are in NY or that vicinity. Any particular reason why?

Two theories:

1. Winter time makes you second guess why you thought buying an M3 was a good idea when you have rough winters.

2. Like Miami (my hometown) people with too much bravado and not enough money go hard and get a "sick M3 yo" just to realize they cannot really afford the payments.

Both are probably completely wrong.

That's spot on, but also a lot of competition due to density and a ton of brokers there as well

Could also be that since most of those are M3 CP with the 20" wheels, they find that its tough to live with it in NYC...

a constant trend that is now increasing due to social media; to flaunt your wealth to cover the real insecurity that you actually don't got money lol--> Mostly this, and also the weather. Car becomes a frozen capsule in the winter. But I love seeing the massive steam coming out of my remus tips. drip drip

also upstate ny do house wealthy people with car switchitis
