Your Residual Isn't Your Payoff

from The Lease End Minute

The residual value in your lease contract is rarely the check you write to buy the car. Here's what else goes into a real payoff quote. Key takeaways: The residual value in your contract is usually not the full amount you pay to buy the car. A payoff can add remaining payments, a purchase option fee, sales tax, and title or registration fees. Ask for an itemized payoff in writing, and compare that number, not the residual.
