What is a Lease Buyout?
At the end of your lease, you typically have two options:
- Return the vehicle
- Purchase the vehicle for its residual value (the price set in your lease contract)
A lease buyout loan allows you to finance that residual value and turn your leased vehicle into a traditional auto loan so you own the car.
When does a Lease Buyout make sense?
A lease buyout may make sense if:
Your Car Is Worth More Than the Residual Value
If the market value of your vehicle is higher than what the lease says you can buy it for, you may be getting built-in equity.
You’ve Taken Great Care of It
You know its maintenance history, driving habits, and condition.
You Want to Avoid Fees
Turning in a lease can trigger:
- Excess mileage charges
- Wear-and-tear penalties
- Disposition fees
New Car Prices Are High
In today’s market, keeping a reliable vehicle may be more affordable than starting over.
