A simple Answer TO yOUr Question

Does a lease transfer release me from all liability?

It depends on your lender. Most major banks like Chase or Toyota Financial offer a complete assumption, meaning you are fully released once the new driver signs. However, some lenders may keep you secondarily liable, meaning if the new driver stops paying, the bank could come after you. Always verify this with your leasing company before signing the transfer paperwork.

Debbie is a lifesaver. She took the time to understand my situation and helped me figure out how to extend my lease, something no dealership had explained to me. What stood out most was that she helped me purely out of genuine kindness, even after realizing I wouldn’t be able to give her any business right now. Because of her guidance, I was able to solve my problem by extending my current lease. If I hadn’t spoken to Debbie, I would have never known this was even an option. She truly restored my faith in people. I’ll absolutely be sending friends her way, and when I’m ready to get another car in a few months, she’s the only person I’ll go to.

The experience with Vantage Auto Group was everything I had hoped for and more. Elka was very responsive, knowledgeable regarding all of my questions and she helped guide me into the car that I wanted. She was a pleasure to work with. I was able to get out a previous lease early & reduce my monthly payment for a car I preferred to be driving. The drop off process to my house was seamless & Niko who dropped off the car was professional, courteous & also answered all the questions I had. I would recommend them to all my friends & family.

After 30 years of car buying this has been the best experience I’ve had. Sean has been helpful, resourceful and easy to work with. I’ll never go back to the archaic dealership process again.
