Key lease questions that impact your money
Three decisions worth looking at first
Start with the vehicle, the buyout price, and what you actually gain by owning instead of continuing to lease.
Used Lease Cars
Should You Buy a Used Leased Car?
What to check before buying a former lease, including vehicle history, condition, pricing and remaining warranty.
Lease-End Decisions
Is Your Lease-End Buyout Worth It?
Compare the buyout price with market value, financing, vehicle condition and what returning the car would cost instead.
Buy or Lease
Should You Buy or Lease a BMW?
Look beyond the monthly payment and compare depreciation, flexibility and longer-term ownership costs.

Start with the decision you need to make now, then go deeper only where you need more detail.
Keep the vehicle?
Need to leave?
How will you use it?
What should you buy?
