Anyone ever use [swapalease.com](http://swapalease.com)?

They charge $35 to contact sellers for a year, or $50 for a lifetime membership.

Has anyone ever done this? I like it because I’ve found leases with less than 18 months left.

Great find. My department gets interns from France every March thru August. And every years it is a pain trying to arrange transportation for them. This might be the solution. :bigthumb:

If you get them to sign up…would you mind contacting a few sellers for me?

No problem. They arrived this week and currently plan to car pool with another co-op in their apartment building. But, if they change their mind…

Ah…thanks for the advice.

It seems like you do all the negotiation with the seller, which is fine with me except, why am I paying the site? The payment kind of pissed me off, because they’re charging both parties. On a site like autotrader, I don’t have to pay anything to call or email the seller, he just pays to list.

I figured there had to be a downside somewhere.
