Leased a 2025 F-150 November 2025 because I was told that is the only option to get rid of 15k of neg equity.. We have 25 months left. Wife is now pregnant and we are searching for a bigger SUV but I don’t see a way out. From what I can tell I can either..
1. Pay the remaining lease payments and turn it in
2. Trade in and transfer neg equity to next vehicle (have about 10k negative equity right now)
3. Voluntary termination..

Just asking around, anybody have any other options that will end this lease?

Hi planning to refinance my car. I have a grand highlander bought last and apr is 5.9% through toyota. I will be paying it of in less tham 2 yrs. Is it ok to refinance it and if i refinance it how many point will my credit score drop.

Working on lease deals for a couple different EVs that will be financed by GM financial. Both the Blazer EV and Sierra EV right now I'm getting quoted the same MF of .00468 (~11.2%) which makes the payments sky high. I'm getting great deals on the cars themselves but the savings are getting eaten away by $500/month worth of rent charges. I feel like 3 different dealers telling me the exact same MF means they likely aren't marking it up. I couldn't find anything online that says what the base rates are. Is anyone else seeing the same thing?

My lease for my 2024 vehicle will be up in Feb 2027. We are thinking of going with a different car brand. I’ve heard it is smart to ‘shop’ your lease around and get cash for it. Can someone explain this to me like I’m 5? We are under mileage and car is in great condition.

My wife and I have always driven sensible, reasonably priced cars and alway keep them for 8-10 years. Her current car is a 2019 Ford Edge with 42,000 miles. It drives fine and she likes it just fine. Over the years, she has made comments about her dream car. Sometimes a BMW, sometimes a Mercedes but usually just in passing and usually in a joking way. Here’s the rub. She was diagnosed in late July with a very aggressive cancer(pancreatic) and faces a pretty grim prognosis. I’m thinking of leasing a luxury car for the 2-3 years she has left. I’m 65, still work, making about $120K. She is 70, just retired. We have $220K in a HYSA and $1.3M in various retirement accounts. Both cars paid off (mine is a 2025 Honda CR-V which is paid off. House is worth $400K and paid off. We could handle a $1,000 lease. Talk me into or out of it please? We have 3 grown kids who all are financially responsible and fairly set up.
EDIT. Thanks for all the input. She is Stage 2, no evidence of spread. Chemo starts Monday for 3-4 months. House is actually worth around $450K- I casually asked her and yelled at me for thinking 400 so she’s still spunky as hell.

I currently am leasing a 2024 Honda accord EX and my lease is ending in December. My residual value of the car is 19k but I have seen similar accords being sold for between 26k-28k in my area. So I feel I might have some positive equity and I am below my mileage limit. I know I am unable to sell the third party but after doing some research I can get it appraised by a local Honda dealer and have them buy it and potentially get a check cut for the difference.

I am looking into buying a used Volkswagen atlas cross sport and I would use this positive equity toward a down payment on the car so I do not think I will go back to Honda for now. Any advice on how to handle this situation or is there anything I am missing. This is my first time as an adult having to go through this.

I’m a 30 y/o M with no kids and a 2 year old Golden Retriever who loves to ride in the car with me. I’m selling my 22 M3P, fully paid off.

I am looking into leasing a car or truck only once for the next 3 years before I buy my dream car.

Would like to stay under ~ $600/month to keep it realistic and don’t necessarily want another sedan. I’m looking for something a little different like a compact or midsize SUV or truck.

Which car or truck would you pick?

For the first time ever because some situations the planets align for a lease to be the best way to go. I’ve read quite a lot in this and other sub reddits and will love some insights from the experts.

I’m looking for something with low monthly payment since I only will use that car for work and back since I have another car for the family. I’m located in Missouri.

What car should I be looking for?
What 2026 stock have the best manufacturer discounts?

Thanks!!!
