The pros and cons of ending a lease

It can make sense to get out early but the new lessee must watch out for some curves

Mark Toljagic
Special to the Star

Jun 16, 2010

Bert DeSouza enjoyed driving his 2006 Subaru Legacy GT wagon until a job change that allowed him to work at home meant his expensive Subie would languish in the garage.

It was time to part company — a formidable challenge when you’re leasing.

“I had 11 months left on the lease at $606 per month. Returning it early would have required paying a penalty in the thousands,” says DeSouza.

Like a growing number of Canadians, DeSouza advertised his car and his lease on a lease-takeover “remarketing” website and found a willing second lessee.

To help grease the transaction, he offered the new lessee $1,250 cash and paid the transfer fee (about $400); in return, DeSouza was released from his contractual obligations.

“For the original lessee, it represents an alternative to the tyranny involved with early lease termination where it sometimes feels like the dealer and automaker want a pound of flesh,” says George Iny, president of the Automobile Protection Association.

“Typical cost for an early lease return runs in the $2,500 to $5,000 range — with $10,000 not unheard of for a prestige vehicle or for someone ending a lease in the first year.”

At the same time, used-car shoppers are turning to lease-takeover services to find late-model used cars and trucks as an alternative to scanning the classifieds and looking online for used vehicles to buy.

“Savvy people are using the site,” says DeSouza. It’s especially useful if you’re looking for luxury vehicles or hard-to-find specialty models, he notes.

Mississauga-based Leasebusters.com pioneered the lease takeover concept in 1990 and dominates the market today.

“Car Guy” Switches Audi S4 for a BMW M3

Jacob W. is a ‘Car Guy’.  He loves to get a new vehicle as often a feasibly possible.  One day he decided that he was bored with his Audi S4 and it was time to get something new.

Jacob has a friend who drives a convertible and uses LeaseBusters.com every fall to find a winter ride.  He suggested that Jacob start looking on the website for some of the amazing deals to be had.

After looking at the huge selection of sports cars available, Jacob decided to investigate what it would take to get out of his Audi lease.  He filled out the online lease evaluation form and was contacted by Cheryl, one of the LeaseBusters evaluation team.  Cheryl advised Jacob that his lease package was attractive, due to the low payment, short term remaining and ample kilometres left to drive.  Jacob took the plunge and engaged LeaseBusters to help him move his Audi.

Within a few days, Jacob had several emails and a few phone calls from interested parties wanting to look at his car.  He had made a down payment when he took the lease and had offered his security deposit as an incentive to make his lease package even more attractive.  The first person who saw the car decided the deal was too good to pass up and a verbal agreement was reached.
