Trading in a leased vehicle works differently than a traditional trade-in because the leasing company owns the car. You'd typically need to end your lease first, then handle any gap between the lease-end value and what you owe. However, some situations allow for lease buyout or early termination as part of a new vehicle purchase.

The good news: Genesis of Downers Grove has a strong finance and leasing department that can explore all your options. If you're interested in moving into a new Genesis while you're in a lease, our team can discuss lease-end strategies, buyout possibilities, and how a new lease or purchase might work best for you.

Call (630) 598-9950 and speak with our finance team about your specific lease situation. We'll help you find the smoothest path forward.
