Buying a leased car is typically done with an auto loan (just like a regular car purchase) but it’s also possible to pay cash. Your options depend on the specific terms of your contract, but there are generally three choices: Lease-end buyout: Most car leases give you the option to either buy the vehicle at the end of the lease or return it. Early lease buyout: It may also be possible to buy your vehicle before the lease is up, depending on your contract. Returning your vehicle: If the car isn’t worth the price, we’ll recommend you return it at the end of your lease.
