Do dealerships not like taking leased cars - as trade in's ?

i'm having a hard time to have sales staff even get back to me about an estimate for trade-in on my F80 M3.

my F80 is leased, buyout is roughly 60-something K.

i understand that the trade-in offer will probably at least 8K lower, and i'm ok chipping in or negotiate the price of the "new" car to get out of the F80.

my sense is that the dealership just doesn't want to deal with the paperwork/hassle of buying out a leased car correct?

fwiw, i'm exploring acquiring a CPO GT4 or GT3. Even porsche dealerships that are owned by an auto group that also owns a BMW dealership have not gotten back to me.

i submit my photos and VIN, and then it's crickets...
