Review Your Lease First
Before you get started in the buyout process, be sure to review your lease agreement for some important details. Below are a few important things to know as you begin the lease buyout process.
How To Terminate The Lease
It’s important to know the details involving a buyout in your lease contract. We recommend you contact your dealership or leasing agency to find out how to terminate the lease.
Residual Value
Also known as buyout amount, the residual value is non-negotiable, and depends on vehicle year, make and model, and other lease details.
Vehicle Condition
The amount you owe when the lease expires can increase if your vehicle exceeds the mileage limits set in the lease agreement. You can also be charged for excessive wear and tear. If you complete a lease buyout, you won’t be charged for excess miles or wear and tear.
Financing Options
Once you know the details of buying out your lease contract, there are a few ways we can help you finance a loan to purchase the vehicle. If you leased your vehicle through one of our partner dealerships, we encourage you to get pre-approved prior to heading to the dealership to ensure your financing is ready to go! If you didn’t lease through one of our partner dealerships, no problem! Simply apply for the loan directly with us to complete the process.

Loan Protection
When you have an auto loan with Honor Credit Union, not only are you receiving excellent member service and a great rate, but also the peace of mind that comes with our loan protection options.
Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP) Insurance can help you be prepared for these things when your normal insurance policy may not completely cover what you owe. If your vehicle gets wrecked or stolen, GAP Insurance will pay the difference between what your insurance company is willing to pay and what you actually owe on the vehicle.
Depreciation Protection (DPW) is similar to GAP, but instead of protecting you against loan deficiency balances in the event of a total loss of your vehicle, it protects the equity you have in your vehicle. If you put a lot of money down on your vehicle when you purchased it, or you received a high value on a trade-in putting your loan amount well under the value of your vehicle, DPW protects that investment.
We have various SafetyNet packages available to protect your loan, family, collateral, and credit rating against the possibility you may no longer be able to pay it. In that unfortunate situation, you would have enough to focus on, so let SafetyNet help. If you choose to take advantage of SafetyNet, the fee for this program will be included in your monthly payments.
Mechanical Breakdown Protection (MBP) offers nationwide protections, 24-hour roadside assistance, rental vehicle assistance, trip interruption coverage, and so much more, so that if your car breaks down your life doesn’t have to break down, too. Plus it’s all transferable in case you sell your vehicle before the agreement expires.

Payment Assistance
