What goes into a Georgia lease buyout price?
- Residual value. The buyout price starts with your lease's residual value — what your leasing company set as the car's worth at lease-end.
- Sales tax. Georgia sales tax on the purchase is collected through the Georgia Department of Revenue; the exact amount depends on your county/local rate and purchase price.
- Doc and title fees. Processing, title, and registration fees are set by the state and typically add a few hundred dollars to the total — Lease End itemizes these for you before you sign anything.
- GAP and VSC (optional). Guaranteed Asset Protection and a vehicle service contract are optional add-ons, not required to complete a buyout.
