Currently I have a 2021 Toyota Tacoma Sport. My lease is up in May 2022. I have 15k per year. Does it make sense to try and sell it at the end? Or do I keep it for myself? I know I have time but how long could there be a new car shortage ---

Another thread said that Toyota / Lexus direct selling to a 3rd party Dealer is off the table now. ---

Thanks for the reply. Maybe then I can give a more direct question. I’ve never bought out a lease only to sell the car because it had equity. What’s the easiest way to do that? Can I have someone buy it out from me? Or do I have to take out the loan and everything? Wasn’t sure how easy of a process it is ---

If your bank won’t do a 3rd party buy out, you will need to purchase it yourself (by either financing it or paying cash) first. That includes paying sales tax on the buy out price in most states. ---

> [@Iamslange](#): > > I’ve never bought out a lease only to sell the car because it had equity. What’s the easiest way to do that? You said you are leasing a Toyota, you didn’t say which bank the lease is with, which matters. There are dozens and dozens of threads filled with first-hand accounts, but it depends who has your lease and who you sell to. > [@Sold one to CARVANA!](https://forum.leasehackr.com/t/sold-one-to-carvana/68624/): > > We got the VROOM topic going ([Sold one to VROOM! - #254 by SunshineOC](https://forum.leasehackr.com/t/sold-one-to-vroom/56848/254)) but thought I’d throw in how easy it was with Carvana too, and why it’s important to check both. Put the wife’s Lexus data through both Vroom and Carvana, vroom was $2k under the payoff, Carvana was $45 over it. Submitted the paperwork for Carvana, got on the phone with them to discuss lease transfer stuff with Lexus in the state of MO (easy peasy).

I rarely plug companies, but holy cow it was easy! I also got a quote from Carvana, which was more than $2K below my payoff – Vroom was $1,600 over my payoff. Huge swing in my favor. For reference, the car was a 2016 Acura MDX with the tech package, black/black with just under 20K miles. My sense is that pricing is heavily driven by direct demand for inventory for the company, so pricing will be relative to demand for the color, o… > [@Sold one to Shift.com](https://forum.leasehackr.com/t/sold-one-to-shift-com/82821/): > > Not a lease deal, but I had to move my 2013 JX35 with 78k mi, loaded quick after the awesome lease deal BigL got me.

In NJ and Eastern PA, there is a Carmax-esque dealership chain called AutoLenders. They’re no negotiation and used to specialize in off-lease luxury cars, but they’ve shifted more to mainstream brands over the past couple years. Recently, they launched ALGo which competes directly with Carvana and Vroom. I’d venture to guess they plan on doing nationwide online sales soon.
