Exit Your Lease Early

Vehicle is at beginning of lease term

If you are 2 months into a 60-month lease term, you effectively have a relatively new lease.  Anyone looking to assume your lease has nearly the same cost structure as if they were to lease the car brand new.  You may want to promote the fact that you have already put money down on your vehicle or paid certain acquisition fees that the new buyer would not.  But for the difference in cost, a seller may be more inclined to get a new vehicle with all the options they desire.

Getting out of a lease from the very beginning is often the hardest thing to do.  You are typically in the best shape to transfer or refinance your lease when you have less than 36 months remaining in your lease or have been in your lease at least a year.
