As long as the remaining miles and terms work you can try swap a lease where you take over a lease for the remainder of the term. Co-workers have bought the cheapest vehicles the credit union’s would loan on. One had his car stolen (later recovered) and couldn’t get by with the gf’s car and bought a 2nd gen Ford Escape (still hasn’t confirmed exact year) that’s served him well over the last year or so. He did recover the stolen Ford Crown Victoria but has been keeping it safely in storage while taking the time to return it to how nice it was before the theft.
More recently a co-worker decided to stop trying to hold a Suzuki Reno together after the head gasket blew and bought a 2nd gen Kia Soul from a local new car dealer and he’s happy with the deal and the purchase.
