Yes, Carvana can buy out some leased cars in 2026, but it depends heavily on the manufacturer, the state you live in, and whether your leasing company allows third-party buyouts. Many drivers discover late in the process that Carvana is not an option for their lease. In most cases, buying out your own leased car directly often puts more money and control back in your hands. Lease End can help you with that.

A third-party lease buyout lets someone else buy your leased car instead of you returning it to the dealership. It can be a clever way to unlock cash or avoid end-of-lease fees, but not all leasing companies allow it. Lease End helps you understand your options and make it happen—all without leaving your couch.
