How a lease buyout works

  1. Send us your lease details

    Your VIN, mileage and the bank your lease is with. A payoff quote from your bank helps if you have one. If not, we’ll help you get it.

  2. Get our offer

    Based on live market data, so you see what the car is worth today, and how much equity you have over the buyout.

  3. We pay off the lease

    We settle with the bank, come to you to pick up the car, and pay you any equity.

Lease buyout questions

Can you buy my car before my lease ends?

Yes. You don’t have to wait for the end of your term. We can buy your leased car at any point in the lease, pay off the bank, and pay you any equity.

What is a lease buyout amount?

It’s what the bank needs to be paid to close your lease and release the car, sometimes called the payoff amount. You can find it in your bank’s online account or by calling them. If you don’t have it handy, send us your details and we’ll help you get it.

What if my car is worth more than the buyout?

That difference is your equity, and it goes to you. We pay off the bank and pay you what’s left.

What if I owe more than the car is worth?

Then the difference would need to be covered to close the lease. We’ll show you the numbers up front, before anything is final, so you can decide what makes sense for you.

Do you buy leases from every bank?

Most, but some banks limit sales to third-party buyers. Tell us who your lease is with and we’ll check their rules and explain your options.

I’m over my mileage limit. Can I still sell to you?

Yes. Excess-mileage charges apply when you return a car at lease end. When we buy out the lease, the car isn’t returned, so that turn-in charge doesn’t apply. Mileage still affects what the car is worth, and our offer reflects that.

Do I have to come to you?

No. We come to your home or office, handle the paperwork with your bank, and pick up the car.
