The process of how to get out of a car lease before the contract expires.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • First ensure your finance company allows lease transfers.
  1. Step 1

    The first step if you are looking to
    offer your car lease for transfer is
    to register on Switchtrader.com and choose one
    of two listing plans:
    (a) Standard Plan
    (b) Premium Plan

  2. Step 2

    Both seller and buyer communicate to
    determine if there will be
    common ground on the interests
    and concerns related to the car
    lease transfer. Questions can
    include: "Is the information listed
    in your advertising completely
    accurate?", "Where is the vehicle
    located?", "Will you split or absorb
    the car lease transfer fee?", "Is
    there a cash incentive involved?",
    "Who will pay the transportation
    cost from your state to mine?"

  3. Step 3

    Once all questions and concerns
    are answered the seller and
    buyer are ready to move forward
    with the transfer. The buyer then
    submits to the application process
    required by the lease seller's lease
    finance company. Primarily the car
    lease buyer will need to be deemed
    credit worthy enough by the lease
    finance company as a prerequisite
    to assume a car lease.

  4. Step 4

    Upon getting an approval from
    the car lease lender
    Switchtrader.com will have the
    transfer documents sent to both
    parties for signatures which are
    required to complete the transfer.
    These are original documents
    promulgated by the car lease
    lender and not by
    Switchtrader.com.

  5. Step 5

    The completed transfer
    documents will then be sent to
    the seller as well as to the buyer.
    The buyer needs to take part of
    these documents to the local
    Department of Motor Vehicles to
    pick up license plates and other
    registration items.

  6. Step 6

    the car lease obligation and the
    car is now the responsibility of
    the car lease buyer and that
    completes the car lease transfer
    transaction brokered by
    Switchtrader.com.

Tips & Warnings
  • Do NOT register with a lease transfer company if your leasing company does not allow transfers.

on 1/25/2009 Transfer a lease can be a daunting process so choosing the right lease transfer website matters for peace of mind. Choosing one that recently jumped on board the lease transfer wagon can be dangerous. Try one that has been in business for a while (i.e. over 5 years). There many of them listed on google using keywords: lease transfer. One that has been in business since 2000 is TakeMyPayments.com Worth a try..
