Wondering what credit score you need to finance a lease buyout? Good news, there is no single magic number. Lenders work across a range of credit tiers.
A higher score usually means a better rate, but lower scores still have options. And it is not only your score. If the car is worth more than the payoff, that equity plus steady income strengthens your approval.
