If you’re only thinking about Lease End when your lease is expiring, you’re missing out on some of the best car content online. We’ve been busy posting, collaborating, and occasionally roasting the dealership experience—and social media is loving it.
Here’s a peek under the digital hood.

Influencers Who've Hit the Gas With Us

Erika Kullberg

AKA “The Money Lawyer” and the queen of reading fine print no one else has the patience for. Erika teamed up with us to explain lease buyouts in her signature calm-and-collected way. She showed her followers how to avoid dealership drama and save money. Shocker: her community loved it.

Javuan Banks

This guy sells cars and makes you laugh about it. In his video with Lease End, Javuan laid out just how easy it is to buy out your lease online—zero dealerships, zero pressure. You might think it's a tall order, and so does the guy behind the camera. But Lease End makes it easy.

Donut Media

Yes, THAT Donut Media. If you’ve ever searched YouTube for car content and ended up watching 40 minutes about the history of the Civic Type R, you know these guys. They featured Lease End in a segment about why now might be the smartest time ever to buy out your lease. (Spoiler: It has to do with equity, inflation, and not getting dealer-handshaked into extra fees.)

Videos We Made That You Need to See

We’re not just collaborating—we’re creating original content, too. Here are a few of our most talked-about posts lately:

1. Millennials and Gen Z Are Buying Out Leases Like It’s a Side Hustle

Turns out, younger generations aren’t just better at TikTok—they’re also leading a lease buyout revolution. Why? Used car prices are high, new car interest rates are wild, and we’re all trying to dodge dealership markups like laser beams.

2. Tariffs Are Coming (Maybe)

We put on our “fake news anchor” hats to explain how rising tariffs could boost the price of new AND used cars. Buying out your lease now? It might save you thousands later. (And yes, we did the math.)

3. Top 10 Cars That Hold Their Value

You know what’s better than driving a cool car? Driving a cool car that actually makes financial sense. We made a game show-style countdown of the cars with the highest lease-end equity. If yours is on the list, it might be your time to shine (or cash out).

Buying out my lease on my own had me…

Buying out my lease, on my own, had me going through many hurdles and obstacles. The leaseholder, Genesis Finance, said I had to get the buyout information from a dealer. The dealer provided me with a written buyout that my bank found unacceptable, plus I would have to deal with all the motor vehicle department transactions, so I decided to try Lease End. Amazing within a couple of hours everything was done barely lifting a finger to send photos of our driver's license, insurance card, and registration. They arranged the financing with a lender well known to me, as I already have some banking relationships with, at a rate better than I was entertaining from my credit union. They got all the information directly from Genesis finance and handled all the motor vehicle paperwork. All I had to do was Auto sign the loan agreement online. The service was outstanding everyone that I dealt with, which were few, were amazing, confident, courteous, friendly and efficient. What an incredible experience couldn't ask for more. Everything taken care of just like that. I still have trouble believing it was so easy.
