Buy out your leased car, or buy a certified pre-owned one? Same money, very different purchases. Here is the comparison, in under a minute.

Certified pre-owned means retail price plus a certification premium, often a thousand dollars or more, for an inspection and warranty on a car nobody in the deal has lived with.

Your leased car has no uncertainty left to pay for. Three years of your own driving is a better inspection than any hundred-fifty-point checklist.

And the price is the contract residual: no retail markup, no haggling, no dealership day. If the car still fits your life, the buyout usually wins the math.
