Four ways to finish your lease

Every lease is different. Here is what each path generally involves. Your lease contract has the final say on price, fees and deadlines.

Buy your leased vehicle

Keep the car you already know. Your lease lists a purchase price, often called the buyout. Jarrett will help you compare it to what similar vehicles are selling for and look at financing if you need it.

  • Compare the buyout price with the market
  • Explore financing for the purchase
  • Skip the search for a new vehicle

Return your vehicle

Hand back the keys at the end of the term. Expect an inspection and a mileage check, and possibly charges for excess wear or miles. Jarrett will explain what to expect so there are no surprises.

Get return guidance

Get into another vehicle

Lease or buy something new or pre-owned. Because Jarrett isn't tied to one brand, he can search across makes and models to find a fit for your budget.

Generally you have three paths: return the vehicle, buy it at the purchase price listed in your lease, or move into another vehicle. Your lease contract sets the details, including your end date, mileage allowance and any end-of-lease fees, so it helps to review it a few months ahead.

In most cases, yes. Many leases include a purchase option, though rules and fees vary by leasing company. Jarrett can help you understand what applies to your lease and whether buying makes sense for you.

A lease buyout is the purchase of your leased vehicle from the leasing company. The price is usually the residual value written in your lease, plus any applicable fees and taxes. Some drivers pay it with cash and others finance it.

Yes. Returning the vehicle is the standard way a lease ends. The leasing company typically inspects it and may charge for mileage over your allowance, wear beyond what is considered normal, or a disposition fee if your contract includes one. Knowing this in advance helps you avoid surprises.

Yes. Jarrett works with new and pre-owned vehicles from any brand, and he can help you lease or buy your next one while coordinating what happens with your current vehicle.

To get started, fill out the short form with your name, email, mobile phone, current mileage and VIN. Your lease agreement, registration or a recent statement usually has the details you need. Prefer to talk it through? Call Jarrett directly.

A few months before your lease end date is ideal. That gives you time to compare options, check vehicle availability and schedule a return or purchase without rushing. If your lease is ending sooner, it is still worth a call.

That is completely normal. Reach out to Jarrett and he will walk through the trade-offs of each path with you. There is no obligation and no pressure.
