Common questions
What is a lease buyout?
A lease buyout is when you purchase the car you’ve been driving during your lease instead of returning it to the dealership. You keep the vehicle you already know, and Champion Auto Finance finances the purchase and handles the process for you.
How is my buyout price calculated?
Your buyout price is your vehicle’s residual value (set at the start of the lease), plus any remaining payments if you’re buying out early, plus applicable taxes, registration, and documentation fees (which vary by state). We confirm the exact number with your leasing company before anything is final.
How long does the process take?
Your part only takes a few minutes to get started. The actual approval to contract takes 1–2 business days — we keep it moving and keep you posted the whole way.
Will my credit be pulled?
Yes. To give you a real, approved auto loan, a lender has to run a credit check when you’re ready to move forward. Getting your payoff and a ballpark estimate up front doesn’t require a hard pull, and we’ll always tell you before a credit application is submitted.
Do you handle the DMV for me?
Yes. We take care of the title transfer, registration, and DMV legwork in most states — so you don’t spend your afternoon in a plastic chair at the counter.
Is my information secure?
Absolutely. Your personal information is encrypted and protected with strict security controls, access is limited to our team, and we never sell your data — we only use it to get your lease bought out.
