<prompt> Human: So my friend signed a 3 year lease on a dodge challanger shaker which according to the dodge website is about 260 a month. What does he pay? 530 something. He has had the car 2 to 3 months and is at 23 the required miles. Due to some health complications he felt it would be best to return the car as or is in perfect condition and under milage at less than 2k. He was told they can take the car back and sell it at auction but he will probably still owe like 18k so he should keep it.Wtf is that? I cannot find Chryslers terms online but that feels like the dealer run around since the car is 44k new. No way that the car has lost half its value. I could understand a few grand to get out of it but nearly half the value on a car with 1200 miles is crazy. Not to mention they let someone who at the time only made maybe 1200 a month into this deal at twice what dodge says it should be. He makes about 2k a month now but thats working 2 jobs everyday and he is still stuggling driving a different car because he doesnt want to run up the mileage on this bs lease.  <response>: Trade or have somebody buy out the lease.The dealership is right, FYI. Its like signing a 1 year apartment lease. If you cant make it 1 yr, you pay the difference. This is an error on your friends part. Never buy a car you cant afford. Worse, never LEASE a car you cant afford. He should have walked out when he was told he is paying 500 a month. There is no way he walked out that dealership door without agreeing or signing to that - the website ad means nothing. The car didnt lose that much of a value, they are simply asking him to pay the remaining lease contract amount.
