You had made a decision to get the car by lease and you want to get out of the lease before it expires. Is it so easy to get out of the lease before it expires?
Of course it is not easy as it is to get in. If you are planning to get away without thinking you may be levied heavy penalties. Your credit rating can go for a toss and you can find a law suit against you.
But it is not all the sad part there are ways and means for you to get out of the options of paying lease money. First thing you could do is sell the car and pay off the lease company or the bank their balance amount. By this method you can get the money close to the buy-out money. Try this option even if you find that you are selling for a loss it can be less than the termination fees.
Secondly you can transfer your car and lease in some other name that will pay the lease and complete the same. There are lots of people who would like to buy off that car from your hands. For this you can ask your family members or friends who are looking for a car which can become a short term lease for them. Make sure the new person who wants to lease it from you has a good credit worthiness and give back the car in good condition after the lease has expired.
