Lease end options for Acura

[Bdotarena]

Hello all,

We have two Acura vehicles (2022 MDX Tech and 2021 RDX base) that have a lease end in 2024. While they are nice cars, we are looking to move to other brands based off the needs of our family. I know that Acura financial does not allow you to sell a lease to a third-party so we are in a bit of a pickle. We have several large dealer chains in our area that have both Acura and other brands in their network. Would it be possible to turn in the Acura lease to a non Acura / Honda dealer if it’s in the same network or are we stuck with Honda/Acura or a lease buyout if we want to get something different? There should be some equity in both vehicles come lease end and I want to take advantage of that.

Thanks for the guidance!

Yes, if the dealer will support it

HOWEVER I would just sell it to a Honda/ Acura direct as trading in a car leaves the new dealer open to slip in some fees (Mine slipped in an increased MF to steal back the trade in equity)

Any semi competent manager within these chains should be able to use their sister Honda/acura store to send the payoff and sell another brand of vehicle to you.
