Lease

Buyout / purchase option

The purchase option (or buyout) is your right to buy the vehicle at the end of the lease, typically at the residual value plus any fees. Some leases also allow an early buyout. Confirm the purchase option price and any fees in your contract. Details may vary by lessor and contract.
