Lease transfer vs early termination
Early termination and lease transfer are different paths with different costs and approvals.
Lease transfer
A new lessee may take over remaining payments after approval. Fees and seller liability vary by leasing company.
Early termination
The current lessee ends the lease early under terms set by the leasing company, which can be expensive.
Buyer checklist
- Verify payment, months remaining, mileage allowance, and current mileage.
- Confirm transfer eligibility, fees, and credit approval with the leasing company.
- Inspect the vehicle and review condition, tires, accident history, and documents.
- Keep payments and incentives documented through a safe process.
Seller checklist
- Confirm your lease can be transferred before listing.
- Use accurate payment, term, mileage, fee, and leasing-company details.
- Add clear photos and disclose condition issues upfront.
- Point buyers to the official leasing-company transfer process.
