This adds payment, tax, miles, insurance and gas at 12,000 miles a year at U.S. average prices. The receipt adds every cost.

An estimate, not a quote. The payment, fees and tax come from the listing and the state’s rules; insurance and gas or charging are our estimates. Your dealer, insurer and driving set the real figures. How we estimate

What a take-over means

You take over someone’s lease. You pay their last 22 months. The months and the miles are theirs, not new ones.

The leasing company must approve you.

  • Model year: 2025.
  • Miles left on the lease: about 14,400, as the listing states them.
  • Transfer fee: about $500 (the listing does not say). Ask the leasing company (the bank that owns the car), not the seller.
