Buying Your Leased Car: A Guide
Summary
If you've reached the end of your lease and want to keep your car, some research will help you secure a great deal. Here’s how to navigate the process smoothly.
Understand the Buyout Cost
First, check your lease agreement for the purchase option price. This amount is determined by the leasing company and includes the car's residual value (its estimated worth at the end of the lease) plus a purchase-option fee, typically ranging from $300 to $500. When you initially agreed to the lease, your payments were based on the difference between the car's sticker price and its residual value, along with a monthly financing fee. For example, if a car originally cost $40,000 and has a 50% residual value, it would be valued at $20,000 at lease end.
Determine the Car's Market Value
Next, ascertain your car’s current market value. Check its retail price with similar mileage and condition across various dealers. Utilize online resources like Cars.com, Edmunds.com, and Kelley Blue Book for accurate pricing information. Compare these findings with your lease’s residual value. If the residual value is lower, you’re in a favorable position.
Negotiate Wisely
Often, cars coming off lease have residual values higher than their market value. Don’t be discouraged; leasing companies are open to offers. Use effective negotiation tactics by starting with an amount lower than your actual target, and work your way up to your desired price.
By doing thorough research and negotiating effectively, you can potentially secure your leased vehicle at a reasonable cost.
