So I called Jenkins only to find out their computer system was down and they could not give me a buyout quote. Question: Is there something unique to Florida that the Lessee has to buy from the dealer?
Yes. In Florida, a "Leasing Company" cannot directly sell you a vehicle, unless they're a Licensed Dealer in FL. Also, Florida does not have a "cap" on Dealer Fees, unlike many other states.
