 TITLE: Should You Buy Your Car When Your Lease Is Up? CONTENT: Can You Negotiate a Lease Buyback Price?\n----------------------------------------\nDepending on the lessor, you may not be able to negotiate the price of your lease buyback. However, some leasing companies are willing to bargain to avoid the time and costs involved in reselling the car on the lot or at auction. Others may be willing to reduce the price if you finance the vehicle with them so they can keep you as a customer.\nUse the research you've gathered to show that the car's residual value is lower than that in the contract. If the lessor won't negotiate on price, see if you can get them to remove the purchase option fee. Are you preapproved for financing elsewhere? See if the leasing company will match or beat the offer. END
