Hopefully, it doesn’t have to be, but if you think there is more the story or more value in your vehicle. We would love to discuss.
We can help get you out. Lease contracts are one of the most misunderstood concepts in the car business. Customers tend to believe they are contractually bound to their leases for the entirety of its term. This is not the case.
Your leased vehicle has a purchase buyout whether you are in month 1 or month 36. We can coordinate with your leasing company on buying out your lease and relieving you from your contract.
No problem at all. Many of our purchases come from customers who had loans on their vehicles. We will start the process by pulling your vehicles pay-off information. From there we will determine if your car is worth more or less than your pay-off amount.
The positive or negative equity will determine if you will be walking away with a check or writing one. Either way your loan will be paid-off at the time of the deal’s conclusion, and you will be relieved of that loan.
Once you accept your offer and decide to proceed, the next step will be to set up an appointment. This appointment will allow us to inspect the vehicle, complete the necessary paperwork and finalize all financial commitments.
Payments will be conveyed at the time of your appointment.
