Lease equity

Turning it in may be leaving money on the table.

Every lease has a buyout price, often called the payoff or purchase option. If the car is worth more than that number today, the difference is lease equity. When you simply turn the car in at the end of the lease, the leasing company keeps that equity.

Selling the leased car to a buyer like us lets you capture it. We make an offer on the car, the buyout is paid to the leasing company, and the difference goes to you. It can also help you avoid turn-in charges for excess miles and wear, because the car is being bought rather than inspected for return.

Some leasing companies limit or block sales to third parties, or only allow them through a dealer of their brand. Rules change, so the first step is always to call your leasing company and ask for a third-party buyout quote. Tell us who your lease is with on the form and we will tell you what is possible.

Should you sell your lease?

When selling a leased car makes sense.

01

Over your miles

Excess mileage fees add up fast. Selling before turn-in can avoid them, as long as the value covers the buyout.

02

Wear and damage

Dings, curb rash and worn tires can trigger turn-in charges. A sale prices the car as it is.

03

Moving or changing cars

Ending a lease early is expensive with the leasing company. A sale can be cheaper if the car has held its value.

04

Positive equity

If our offer is above your buyout, you keep the difference. If it is below, turning it in may be better, and we will tell you so.

What we buy

We buy more than clean, paid-off cars.

Whatever shape your car is in, the form takes about two minutes. These pages explain how each situation works.

Questions

Good questions, straight answers.

Not seeing yours? Start the form anyway. A real person reviews every offer and will answer anything when they reach out.

Can I sell a leased car before the lease ends?

Often yes, through a buyout. The leasing company sets the buyout price and its rules for third-party sales.

Will you buy my lease if the leasing company only allows dealer buyouts?

Tell us your leasing company on the form and we will check what is possible for your lease.

What if the buyout is more than the offer?

Then you can pay the difference, or simply turn the car in. There is no obligation.

Do I pay sales tax on a lease buyout?

It depends on how the buyout is processed. Ask your leasing company for a third-party buyout quote, which shows the full amount.
