The last 90 days of a lease
Get the buyout in writing, book the inspection, check your miles, and compare buy, return and a new offer before the date.
Get the buyout in writing
Ask your lessor for the purchase option in writing if you do not have it yet. Our lease-end page counts down once your start date is saved, and the written number replaces our estimate.
Book the inspection, check the miles
Book the pre-return inspection now. Wear, tires and open recalls are easier to sort before the date. Check your miles against the allowance in the contract.
Compare the three
Buy: the contract buyout against used-market value. Return: the clean exit when equity is thin or miles are high. Re-lease: today's offer on a new car.
For scale, Kia's Oct 10 offer on a new 2026 EV6 Light Long Range in Austin is $532 a month real ($4,499 due, then 35 payments of $419). It ends Nov 2, so check it again near your date.
