You’ve been driving around happily for years when all of a sudden you realize, “Hey, wait a minute, my lease is almost up!” So just what do you next? Well, you’ve got a few options.

First, do you want a new car, or do you want to keep your current car? Maybe you’re in love with your current ride—you’ve given it a name and everything—and you don’t want to turn it in. Or maybe you’ve just blown past those mileage limits set in the terms of your original lease agreement and you’re not particularly thrilled by the prospect of paying mileage overage fees. Either way, the Mazda finance center at Sansone Mazda is here to help you through the process.

By the way, did you know that you can actually sell your leased vehicle? Know what else? You can sell it to a dealership other than the dealership you leased it from. You’d want to do this if you could find a dealer who will pay more than what you owe. In that case, the dealer pays the leasing company, then sends you a check for anything over and above what you owe.

If you’re looking to simply trade in your current ride and drive home with a new lease and a new car, there are a few things you’ll want to have in order. Make sure you’ve got anything and everything that came with the car, such as the owners manual and any keys, as well as accessories like the floor mats.

And before trade-in day, we encourage you to head in to our local Mazda dealership and get acquainted with the options available to you for your next lease. A great place to start your search is the 2019 Mazda CX-3. U.S. News & World Report had this to say about the sporty SUV: “The 2019 Mazda CX-3 ranks near the top of the subcompact SUV class because it offers arguably the sportiest performance in the class, as well as a handsome cabin lined with premium materials.” Contact us today to learn more!
