You pay the predetermined residual value (buyoff price) plus taxes and fees to own the car outright. **How long does the process take?** The application takes approximately 12 minutes to complete. Once approved, the full buyout process typically takes 2-4 weeks depending on your state's DMV processing times. **Do I have to go to the dealership?** No. Lease End handles the entire process online. You never need to visit a dealership or DMV office. **What if I'm over my mileage limit?** Buying out your lease eliminates mileage overage fees (typically $0.15-$0.25 per mile). This alone can save thousands of dollars. **Can I buy out my lease early?** Yes. Most lease agreements allow early buyouts. This can be beneficial if you have positive equity or want to avoid end-of-lease fees. **Which lenders do you work with?** We partner with 13+ lenders including Ally, Capital One, Chase, TD Bank, and other major financial institutions to secure competitive rates. **What about Tesla lease buyouts?** Tesla does NOT allow lease buyouts on newer Model 3 and Model Y vehicles. Older Tesla models may have different policies. **What states do you serve?** We operate in all 50 US states and handle state-specific DMV requirements. ## Structured Data Resources ### Core Business Information **Homepage** -
