Understanding Lease Buyout Loans
TopA lease buyout loan is an auto loan that allows you to purchase the vehicle from the leasing company, usually at the end of your lease term.
Instead of surrendering the car to the dealership, you can keep it with the help of our trusted partners like Ally, TD Bank, and Capital One.
Why do our drivers opt for a lease buyout?
Save Money | Drive Freely | Access Equity |
Avoid disposition fees and wear-and-tear fees from the dealership. | Drive as much as you want without worrying about mileage overage penalties. | If the market value of your car is higher than the residual value, you have positive equity. Keep your car forever or sell it when you choose. |

2024 Lease Buyout Loan Statistics
TopWhile every driver’s monthly payment for a buyout will vary based on vehicle, residual value, credit score, and other factors, we have done over 30,000 lease buyouts and have the proprietary data to speak to overall lease buyout statistics and trends.
The average monthly payment for a lease buyout through Lease End in 2024 (across the full credit spectrum) was $510.86.
For context, the average new monthly loan payment in Q1 2024 for borrowers with the best credit was $723
according to Experian.
The average amount financed was $27,405.85.
And the average loan term was 71.4 months. This number has been trending upward over the past three years (up from 70.9 months in 2023 and 70.2 months in 2022), indicating that drivers are more and more eager to find the lowest payment, wanting options to spread out their loan as much as possible.
Keep in mind that these statistics encompass drivers across the full credit spectrum, including our minimum credit score of 520; if you have "good" or "excellent" credit, you might be able to land a lower payment, depending on your vehicle model and other factors.

The Unknown Factor: Why Dealerships Can Be Risky
TopFlexible options, speed, and trust set us apart from the traditional lease-end experience. If you decide to play “dealership roulette” and buy out through a dealership, you can expect issues like clunky fees and exaggerated timelines.
Dealerships often fumble the ball in these ways when it comes to lease buyouts:
- Inconsistent Experiences: The dealership experience can vary widely. With Lease End, you get a reliable, consistent process every time.
- Hidden Fees and Markups: Dealerships might add unnecessary fees and markups. We ensure transparency and fairness.
- Time-Consuming: Time spent at a dealership can be upwards of an hour or two, and no one has time for that. We streamline the process, saving you time (our application takes as little as 12 minutes to complete) and hassle.
- Lack of Customer Care: You may be treated like just a number at the dealer, but with Lease End, we walk you through the whole process in real time and take care of everything for you.
