My wife and I are in a tough financial situation. We were thinking of transferring the lease on her Mini Cooper and having someone take it over. The girl at Ralph Schomp mini claimed that she's never seen a lease transfer happen and she's been in the business for 25 years. She said that we couldn't do it because the contract doesn't say that we can. I tried to explain to her that contracts don't work that way but she wasn't buying it. She couldn't direct me to anywhere in the contract the prohibits the lease transfer.

I'd like to hear your experiences with transferring a lease to another person. We really can't keep paying for a car that we're not using.
