Anyone ever taken over a car lease from someone they didn't know?

Thanks MA. That's a good point about the maintenance package/loan car possibly being non-transferable. I wasn't putting much value on it since the maintenance package is only for 12 months. Thanks also for pointing out the current lease offer too. I doubt I'd ever lease a new car even though I can deduct it. It's not just the depreciation aspect, but I prefer to self-insure when the premium exceeds the expected value of the payout (likelihood of accident * amount insurance company would pay). I can't do that when it's leased or financed.

I guess what it boils down to is if it's worth buying this a familiar, used 2012 GLK 4matic w/20k miles for $31k in 12 months. If it is, how much is it worth to have that option?
