I leased a car but moved to a city with great transit. What’s the cheapest way out?

If you leased a car and now don’t need it, the goal is pretty simple: get out with the least amount of money left on the table. The tricky part is that leases are designed to keep you locked in, and the “easy” exit options are often the expensive ones. The good news is you usually have more than one path out.

I bought a used car “as is,” and the transmission failed on the 45-minute drive home. Isn’t there a seven-day grace period? Am I really stuck paying?

You bought a used car, signed the paperwork, and headed home. Before you even reached your driveway, the transmission gave up. Now the seller keeps repeating two little words: “As is.” Surely those words can’t cover a car that barely survived the trip home. Can they?

My lease is up next month and the car has a few scratches. Will I be charged for them?

That little scrape on the door you got in the parking garage? Those light scratches from everyday use? It’s easy to worry about whether a few cosmetic imperfections will turn into an unexpected bill. The good news is that with most leasing companies, whether you’ll be charged depends on how deep the damage goes and whether it crosses the line into “excessive” territory.
