A simple Answer TO yOUr Question
Should I buy my leased car at the end of the lease?
It makes financial sense to buy your leased car if the residual value (buyout price) is lower than the car's current market value. If you can buy it for $20,000 and it is worth $24,000, you gain $4,000 in instant equity. It does not make sense if the residual is higher than what the car is worth, because you would be overpaying compared to buying the same car on the open market.

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.

I can’t thank Sean enough for making my transition seamless and completely stress-free. What can often feel like an overwhelming process was made easy and comfortable from start to finish. He took the time to truly understand my wants, needs, and budget without any judgment, and kept me informed every step of the way. His humor and authenticity were an added bonus and made the experience even more enjoyable. Going from one lease to another in under a week felt effortless and refreshing, even without stepping into a dealership. See you in three years, Sean!
