Auto Lease Buyout Loans
Do you love your leased vehicle so much you want to keep it?
Honest Car Payment can help you determine whether or not an auto lease buyout is your best option, or if you’re better off returning your leased car or truck. If you decide to buy, we’ll provide a plan to finance the purchase so that you get the best deal possible.
How Does an Auto Lease Buyout Work?
Buying a leased car is typically done with an auto loan (just like a regular car purchase) but it’s also possible to pay cash. Your options depend on the specific terms of your contract, but there are generally three choices:
Lease-end buyout
Most car leases give you the option to either buy the vehicle at the end of the lease or return it.
Early lease buyout
It may also be possible to buy your vehicle before the lease is up, depending on your contract.
Returning your vehicle
If the car isn’t worth the price, we’ll recommend you return it at the end of your lease.
We Can Help You Decide Which Option Is Right for You
When it comes to auto lease buyouts, our process is simple and straightforward. First, we help you decide whether to buy or return your leased vehicle. Then, we can help you get the best possible deal on a loan to finance your purchase.
When to Buy vs When to Return
Here’s how it works: We start by learning about your vehicle and your lease contract. Then we analyze your situation and provide a plan for purchasing the car or dropping the lease. Our goal is to give you all the information you need to make an informed choice, and we only move forward if you approve the plan we propose.
When making our recommendation, the biggest consideration is the difference between your leased vehicle’s current value and the buyout. You don’t want to pay more than the car is actually worth, so if the buyout is higher than the vehicle’s value, it’s usually not worth buying. Many different factors can influence the vehicle’s value, and potentially your decision to buy or return it:
Consider a lease buyout…
- When you have low miles or have significantly exceeded your mileage limit (which can result in fees when you return the car)
- When you’ve taken great care of the car and you know it’s reliable and in good condition
- When the car is a perfect fit for your needs and lifestyle
- When you can afford the car and are able to get a good deal on an auto lease buyout loan
Consider returning…
- When the vehicle was in an accident and dropped in value
- When your lifestyle has changed and the car isn’t the right fit for you anymore
- When the car is out of your price range
- When you can get a better deal on a different car
- When the manufacturer is offering rebates for lease returns
