LeaseTrader.com, the nationwide online marketplace for car lease transfers, reported a 24 percent rise in customers listing their vehicle for transfer due to job loss and their desire to downsize into a more affordable car.
With the economy slamming on the brakes, a staggering amount of Americans continue to lose their jobs. Naturally, the first thing they look to do is lower their bills. LeaseTrader.com's vehicle lease transfer program allows consumers to escape a lease they can't afford and transfer the remaining contract to someone else.
Job cut announcements by Challenger, Gray & Christmas Inc., as well as payroll manager ADP, both said this week that job cuts soared in October compared to September. What's worse, the Department of Labor's monthly report is due this week and is expected to point towards a growing unemployment rate beyond 6.1 percent.
LeaseTrader.com also reports the majority of vehicle postings from customers looking to downsize are located in Michigan (36% increase), Ohio (27% increase), Florida (13% increase) and California (9% increase).
LeaseTrader.com's vehicle lease transfer program allows people to avoid expensive contract termination fees by transferring the remaining portion of their lease to a credit-qualified individual.
