Only problem is the $39K is the end of lease residual. The current buyout is likely something much higher. So he may end up taking more of a hit trying to sell it off. However, if you have a Carmax nearby, it wouldn't hurt to take it in there and see what they'd quote you. That would give you a good idea of what you might get at a dealership to see if it's worth pursuing. All it would cost you is maybe 30 minutes of your time.
