If you lease a vehicle, you're making a commitment. Sometimes things change though, and you find that the Alfa Romeo lease you signed no longer works for you.
We get it, and at Helfman Alfa Romeo of Houston we can help you get out of your lease. However, you do need to know that there are consequences to canceling your lease in most situations.
Options for Getting Out of a Lease
When you need to get out of a lease, you usually have a few options.
The first option is termination. Your agreement has to have some kind of way to officially get out of it, since that is required by law.
You can also transfer your lease. The new driver of this car would have to meet the same standards as you did to lease the vehicle, so you can't transfer it to just anybody.
Lastly, you can buy out your lease, which means purchasing your lease outright to end it. From there, the car is officially yours to do with whatever you see fit as your lease agreement is now considered complete.
Potential Downsides of Canceling Your Lease
Canceling your lease can be costly, as fees involved are significant. When you previously agreed to lease the vehicle, your dealer calculated its worth by the end of your agreed upon lease term, as well as its resale value. Dealers do not factor in a termination however, so those fees help to make up the difference.
Ending a lease early might also have a minor effect on your credit. However, defaulting on your lease agreement is far worse for your credit score.
