I recently read that in Florida it is required to go through a dealership to buyout a lease. I can't find concrete information, so asking if anyone has experiences with this in FL as my plan was to bypass dealer and deal directly with BMWFS so as to avoid the unnecessary high fees dealers add here.
This is what Audi Financial Services told me in 2015, claiming they are not a licensed dealer in FL. Nowhere in the lease agreement did it say I needed to buy through a dealer and dealers wanted me to pay more than residual. I was so pissed off I bought an M4.

I can see the paperwork on the BMWFS site, which I couldn’t back then with Audi. So I plan to just send them a check with the paperwork.
