Buyout Hyundai lease or sell?

We are in Florida and we have a 2021 Hyundai Kona that the lease is ending in 2 months. We pay $165 a month and now to buy out the lease it is $16,000. What’s the best thing to do, buy out the lease, sell it at Carvana or something else? Appreciate all the advice thanks in advance!

Have you already obtained quotes to see what those third parties will pay to buy it?

Hi, Carvana is offering $18, 566.00.

Should we just turn it in and start over with a new car?

Is it gas, hybrid or EV?

Hi, it’s gas. CarMax has also offered $18, 600.00

You are aware a new lease will probably run you $350 now right?

Yes, there are some “specials” for around $240. It’s our daughter’s car and we thought about putting her into a new one. Not sure what the best money option is. Keeping it, buying it out or selling it. To buy it out we’d have to get a loan.

Not an effective $240. Either a bunch of cash or equity down.

Unfortunately true.
We are thinking of extending the lease, accepting Carvana or Carmax’s offer and they pay off the lease and give us a check for the difference. Then we’ll get a new car. We did this in 2021.
Does Hyundai take third party buyouts?

Most Carmax’s will not touch Hyundai. There are a few but YMMV
