Lease or buy if unsure about keeping the car a year?

I'm planning to do ED of an M2 this spring so we can experience that before settling down. I'm not sure if the M2 is the car to keep after that. (Maybe need an SUV later? Or maybe a p car would be more fun? anyway...)

If I decide to get out of the car within the first year, what's the easiest/lowest cost way to do it? Lease transfer or sale?

I'm thinking it's easier to find someone who can afford $700-800/month with a couple thousand up front than someone who has $40-50k cash. But maybe the market for these things consists of people who do have $50k cash lying around?

There might be a chance the car turns out to be the perfect mix of fun, safety, and practicality that I would keep the car long term so I'm also hesitant to do a lease with ED, which bumps up the money factor.
