Audi Lease Termination
It is often believed that the only option in ending a lease early is the dealerships’ traditional definition of ‘Audi early lease termination’ in which the lessee is required to pay an early termination penalty plus the balance of the remaining payments. For example, if the payments are $700.00 per month and 10 months are remaining on the contract, then the lessee owes $7,000.00 ($700.00 X 10 payments) plus any penalty fees.Audi Lease Assumption
A Audi Lease Assumption allows you to transfer your Audi lease contract to another person. By doing so, the new lessee is responsible for the remainder of the payments per the terms of your original contract.A vehicle lease assumption could save you thousands of dollars while allowing you to walk away from your vehicle lease with no strings attached. Lease assumptions have become increasingly popular over the last few years.
The basic lease assumption process is the same for all leasing companies.
- First, the individual wishing to assume the lease submits a credit application to the leasing company (Audi Finacial Services, for example).
- Next, the leasing company will make a decision on the credit worthiness of the applicant.
- If approved, the lease transfer documents are prepared and sent to the buyer and seller to be signed and returned to the leasing company.
However, there are slight variations in the fees and details for each leasing company. If you go through Swapalease.com, the process is designed to account for the variations associated with the transfer process.
What are the fees associated with transferring a Audi lease?
There are two types of fees typically associated with transferring a lease. The first is the listing fee required to list your vehicle on a site like Swapalease.com and the second is a transfer fee assessed by the leasing company. Leasing company fees can include both credit application and lease transfer fees. Each leasing company has its own fee structure.

As with any change of vehicle ownership, there may be vehicle licensing or registration fees assessed by the state in which you live. If you are unsure about your state’s policies, you can check with the Department of Motor Vehicles, or simply ask a local auto dealer for advice.
Are there any Audi lease transfer restrictions?
Restrictions on lease transfers are set by each leasing company. Audi Finacial Services is a great leasing company that DOES allow lease transfers. Please click here for information about a specific leasing company Leasing Company Information
Refinancing your Vehicle
If lease assumption is not right for you, you can also refinance your current lease. Available options might include:
- extending the your lease term in an effort to reduce your monthly payments,
- OR qualifying for a lower interest rate.
To find our more information or to initiate the refinancing of your contract, you should contact a representative at Swapalease.com.
Sell Vehicle Outright
Another option is to sell your vehicle outright. You may opt to do this if you want to walk away from your lease without going through the transfer process. To sell your vehicle outright, you must first buy your vehicle from the leasing company to assume full ownership, which Swapalease.com can help you with. In fact, Swapalease.com can walk you through the entire process in order to minimize any our of pocket expense to you.
Here is an example of what your buyout would look like on a typical car with 12 months remaining:
- Monthly Payment: $500 per month
- Amount of Payment that is Principal: $300
- Amount of Payment that is Interest: $200
- Number of Months Remaining: 12
Now take the number of months remaining (12) multiplied by the amount of interest that is being paid per month ($200) to see how much money you would have to pay ABOVE the cost of your car.
| The total here is $2,400.00 - that's how much you would be paying the bank just to walk away from your lease! |
After you purchase the vehicle from the bank, you must find a buyer with good credit, which can be done on Swapalease.com. Thereafter, Swapalease.com will walk the buyer through the purchase process.
