Lease buyout — What You Need to Know

The lessee purchases the leased vehicle at the end of or during a lease term. The leasing company (lessor) transfers the title to the buyer and a bill of sale documents the purchase price, residual value, and payoff terms.

Seller guidance

As the lessor (leasing company or financial institution), you must provide a clean title or title assignment once the buyout is complete and all fees are settled. The buyout price is typically the residual value stated in the lease agreement plus applicable purchase fees and sales tax. Provide the lessee a written purchase agreement or bill of sale confirming the purchase price, odometer reading, and VIN.

Buyer guidance

Your lease agreement states the residual value — the guaranteed buyout price. Compare this to current market value (Kelley Blue Book, Edmunds) before proceeding. You will owe sales tax on the purchase price at time of registration. Check whether your state allows you to take the title directly or whether it must route through a dealer. Some states (e.g., Texas) require lease buyouts to go through a licensed dealer.

Legal note

Lease buyouts are governed by the original lease agreement and applicable state motor vehicle laws. The Consumer Leasing Act (15 U.S.C. § 1667) and Federal Reserve Regulation M (12 CFR Part 213) require lessors to disclose buyout rights and residual values at lease origination. Some states impose dealer-only rules on buyout transactions (TX Transportation Code § 503.001). Sales tax applies in most states on the full purchase price or residual value.
