Chase Bank and getting out of the lease?

If you or someone buys it out right you’re probably gonna have to pay sales tax that you won’t recoup. Just something to keep in mind, unless you’re in a state that collects all sales tax upfront. If I were in your shoes I would either keep the car or find a friend/family member that wants to take over the lease and have them make payments and get insurance with both of you listed on there. Since even if you transfer the lease you’re still liable for it, doesn’t make much of a difference.
