A repossession on your record, and a lease decision in front of you. Financing is harder — not impossible. Here is the realistic path, in under a minute.
Age matters: a repo from years back, with clean history since, reads very differently than one from last spring. Time plus on-time payments is the recovery formula.
The buyout's built-in advantages still apply: fixed payoff, known car, and your lease payment record. Equity in the car strengthens the file like a down payment would.
Be ready for a subprime rate and consider a co-signer if one is available. The goal is the bridge loan: modest, on-time, rebuilding — not the perfect rate today.
