A simple Answer TO yOUr Question
What is the early termination formula for a car lease?
Most leasing companies calculate early termination costs as: remaining payments owed, plus the difference between the car's current market value and the residual value (if the car is worth less), plus an early termination fee (typically $200 to $500), minus your security deposit if you paid one. The exact formula is in your lease contract under the early termination section. It is worth reading before making any decisions.

I had an amazing experience working with Mark Viegas! He helped me get a leased vehicle without ever having to step foot in a dealership. Mark handled all the negotiations, worked within my down payment and monthly budget, and made the entire process stress-free. The best part — he even had the car delivered right to my home! I couldn’t be happier with how smooth and easy everything was. Highly recommend Mark if you want a professional who truly takes care of everything from start to finish.

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.

David made a seamless transaction without the hassle of going to the dealer. Located the truck I wanted and delivered it on time. Signed the paperwork which took 5 minutes and the professionism was top notch. It's rare these days that you get someone who's responsive and didn't put you through an automated response. Answered all my questions promptly and made sure I received the truck I was looking for.....Was a pleasure!

Great customer service! Dave was very responsive and worked hard to find the car we were looking for. His pricing was unbeatable and the vehicle was delivered right to our driveway. There was a small issue with the vehicle from the manufacturer, but Dave and his team have been working hard to rectify it. Goes to show their service doesn’t disappear after delivery, and are committed to developing relationships and making longterm customers.
