No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Like, do you extend the lease? Return the vehicle and try aiming for a different dealership?

Won’t a lease have the buyout structure built in? That’s the selling point, the total ownership costs are known at the time of purchase.

You can buy the car and sell it yourself if you’re not getting a good deal, but the “vehicle as a subscription service” aspect of leasing is to avoid that hassle.

I think my lease agreement has a buy in built in. But I don't want the vehicle. It's a Kia Sportage, it was not my choice in the beginning to have this vehicle. I wanted a Seltos but my shitty dealership at the time didn't have it in inventory and I was caught in a rock and a hard place to be forced into this lease agreement.

So I want to turn it in but my worry is, what if the dealership in my current location, doesn't have what I want? It's bigger, yeah. They retired the Rio model back in 2023 and have a K3 model for affordability that might come to America next year, but who knows when.

Obviously my options is to find a new dealership if everything with Kia falls through, but I also don't want to extend this lease. I need a vehicle to get to places which is why I asked this question. Because I doubt they'll let me drive it further to explore more options if they aren't getting more payments from it.

Got until August for all of this shit to come together. Hopefully they'll have a Seltos or a K3 I can finance. Kia's SUV models don't attract me a bit and their new Sportage model is even less impressive.

Not sure I understand the problem. Turn the lease back in and buy/lease what you want. The two don’t need to be tied together.
