Car Lease End Considerations

When your lease is over you may have the option of returning the car, extend or re-lease, buy the car, or even trade it in for another lease. These options depend on your situations and agreements with the leasing company. Some of these options you may not get to have.

The leasing company will contact you a month or so before you leasing contract is over. They will tell you information about where to go to get the car inspected and return the car. Most of the time the leasing company instructs you to return the car to a dealer. They will also tell you that you have the option of buying the car and how much it would cost. They also remind you that they could extend your lease, but for certain agreement terms. What they do not mention is that you could trade in that car for a newer lease or to buy a new car.

Do not make a decision without thinking things through. Do your homework and take careful considerations of your choices. Try to decide which option will benefit you.
