What goes into a New Mexico 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. New Mexico sales tax on the purchase is collected through the New Mexico Taxation and Revenue Department; 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.

The process was fast
The process was fast, easy and painless, I was a bit unsure about doing this without a dealership but the end result was great. Gavin was very friendly and easy to deal with. I started the inquiry at 4pm and by 6pm I was signing paperwork.

I had an overall highly satisfactory…
I had an overall highly satisfactory experience with Lease End, and a big part of that was my experience with Nick, the sales representative I spoke with. I spent nearly two hours speaking with Nick and had a lot of questions and concerns. Throughout the entire conversation, he was extremely patient, professional, and helpful. What impressed me most was that he answered every question with the same level of enthusiasm and attention, regardless of how many questions I asked. Nick was also honest and straightforward about my options. I never felt pressured or rushed into making a decision, and he did not try to push me unnecessarily toward using Lease End’s services. That level of transparency and professionalism really stood out to me. Overall, I had a very positive experience, and I would especially like to recognize Nick for his excellent customer service. His patience, honesty, knowledge, and willingness to genuinely help made the entire process much easier. Thank you, Nick, for taking the time to walk me through everything!
