Let's Review: Lease Buyout Basics

Top
Your lease is ending, and you love your car—or perhaps you just want to avoid mileage and wear-and-tear fees. Either way, a lease buyout is your pathway to ownership.
Unlike buying a new car, where the price is negotiable, your buyout price is locked in and based on your original contract's residual value.
So what makes the difference between a great deal and a headache when you're buying out your leased car?
Your lease buyout loan, and your buyout loan rate.
And getting competitive rates from top lenders is exactly what Lease End does best. We cover the gamut of credit profiles and help find loans with flexible term lengths. We can also help you with everything you need to protect your new ride, including VSC and GAP insurance to avoid unexpected expenses of car ownership down the road.

Getting the Best Loan Rate Possible

Top
Buying out your lease means turning your current leased ride into your owned ride—and the key to doing that cost-effectively is securing the right interest rate.
According to out latest proprietary dataset (Q3 2025), the average APR across all credit profiles for a lease buyout loan sits at about 9.20%.
But if your credit is good to excellent, you'll likely qualify for significantly lower rates—those with credit scores above 740 were seeing average APRs around 6.57%, while scores above 800 were averaging a 6.17% rate.
When you compare rates, it’s critical to consider more than just the percentage: the loan amount, term, and your vehicle’s value all affect your monthly payment and the total cost of your lease buyout.
Our data show the average financed amount for a buyout loan is about $31,571, with typical loan terms stretching to 72.6 months. Longer loan terms mean lower monthly payments, but more interest paid over time, so if you keep the same vehicle long-term, it pays to shop the best rate you can.
Also, the vehicle’s residual value and market value at lease end may influence whether you’re stepping into positive equity (a bonus) or negative equity (a risk).

Final Thoughts to Consider

Finally, working through the right channel to buy out your lease makes a big difference. Buying out your lease with a dealership usually means going through the “end-of-lease shuffle" where fees, mark-ups, and inconsistent experiences abound.
Instead, consider a streamlined online platform specialized in lease buyout refinancing, where you can compare trusted lenders in minutes and lock in a competitive rate without the hassle of dealer back-and-forth.
By focusing on securing the best rate and understanding your terms, you’re better positioned to turn your leased vehicle into a smart ownership choice; regardless of your vehicle of make of choice.
