Step 1 — Personal Info

🔒 Your information is secure and encrypted.

Most people assume that when their lease ends, they either hand the keys back or buy it from the dealership at the residual price. But there's a third option that many buyers miss: your leased vehicle might be worth more than the buy-out price, giving you instant equity to put toward your next vehicle.

Demo Auto Group team helps you figure out the real market value of your leased vehicle versus your residual buy-out price. If there's positive equity, we can help you capture it. If the vehicle is worth less than the residual, we help you negotiate or walk away cleanly.

We also help you avoid common lease-return pitfalls: excess mileage charges, wear-and-tear penalties, and disposition fees. Sometimes buying out your lease and immediately trading it in saves you thousands compared to returning it to the dealer.

Whether you want to buy your leased vehicle, trade it for something different, or return it and start fresh — we give you honest numbers so you make the best financial decision. No agenda, just math.

From Alex, Founder

“Most people leave money on the table at lease end because they don't know their options. I'll show you exactly what your vehicle is worth versus what you owe — sometimes that gap means thousands in your pocket.”

Your Questions Answered
Should I buy out my lease or return it?+
It depends on the numbers. If your vehicle's current market value is higher than your residual buy-out price, buying it out (and potentially trading it in) gives you equity. If it's worth less, returning may be smarter. We run the numbers for you — free, no obligation.
Can I trade in my leased vehicle at Demo Auto Group?+
Yes. Even though you leased from another dealer, you can trade it in with us. We handle the buy-out from your leasing company and apply any equity toward your next vehicle. It's simpler than you'd think.
What are excess mileage charges and how do I avoid them?+
Most leases charge $0.08-$0.16 per km over your limit. If you're over, sometimes buying out the lease is cheaper than paying the mileage penalty plus returning it. We calculate both scenarios for you.
What is a disposition fee?+
It's a fee (usually $300-$500) charged when you return a leased vehicle. It's buried in your lease contract. If you buy out or trade in instead of returning, you typically avoid this fee.
Can I lease a vehicle from you instead?+
We focus on vehicle sales and financing rather than leasing. But if your current lease is ending and you want to transition to ownership — with a payment that might be similar to your lease — we can make that work.
How do I know what my leased vehicle is worth?+
Contact us with your vehicle details (year, make, model, mileage) and your residual buy-out amount from your lease contract. We'll tell you the current market value and whether there's equity — takes about 5 minutes.
What is a lease buy-out and how does it work?+
A buy-out is when you purchase your leased vehicle from the leasing company for the residual price stated in your contract. We can finance the buy-out through our lenders, often at better rates than your original lease provider offers.
When should I start planning my lease return?+
Ideally 60-90 days before your lease end date. That gives time to evaluate options, get an accurate market value, negotiate any wear-and-tear charges, and arrange your next vehicle without rush pressure.
