Buy, return or extend: your options in the last 90 days of a lease

Your lease ends soon and the mail is getting pushy. Deep breath: you have more options than the letter suggests, and there's still time to use them.

Inside 90 days, the moves are: buy the car, return it, or extend month-to-month while you decide. Each has real numbers attached — and the numbers, not the deadline, should pick.

Even past your end date, most banks allow a buyout window — the car in your driveway is usually still buyable. But those weeks move fast, so act, don't drift.

One conversation lays it all out: your equity, each path's true cost, and financing arranged inside two weeks if keeping wins.
