A lease buyout can help you plan ahead and estimate costs, but it may not be the best option if your leased vehicle has sustained damage.
There are two kinds of lease buyouts
Whichever type of buyout you choose, the buyout price will be calculated at the beginning of the lease. The price you receive will be based on the car’s estimated value with normal wear when you’re scheduled to return it.
These are the two kinds of lease buyouts:

Early lease buyout: If you don’t want to waste any more time renting your car, you can buy it out before the end of your lease.
