How early can i trade in my leased car for another lease?

About a year ago i got into a ford focus 3 year lease. I'm unhappy with the car and the problems it has, etc. I'm really interested in getting a f150 or edge or even explorer, something bigger with more room. I still have two years left but i've heard that its easy to drop that lease if i lease something else. Anyone have any ideas or opinions?

On a lease you don't own the car, you have no equity, so you really have nothing to trade. You can terminate a lease anytime you want to but you will have to pay quite a bit of money to get out of your lease. Cars depreciate faster than the lease payments except near the end of the lease so until the end of the lease you owe the depreciation.

Try calling the dealership. I'm sure they have options.

Contact the company that you leased from and ask them, or read the agreement.

You need to contact the lease company. Most of the time you can get out of the lease but an early termination will cost you an extra fee and you might have additional fees on top of that to cover the depreciation. Some companies will let you 'trade up you lease" without penalty but if the car residual is worth less than you paid off then you might have to make up the difference.

  • How can I get out of my truck lease? My situation has changed and my budget can't really afford the $400 per month. Its a 2016 Nissan Frontier. About 15k miles on it. Lease is up around Nov 2019. (12k miles per year. A maintenance plan is included in the payment. Do sites like swapalease actually work to get someone else to take your lease over?
  • Can i get out of a ford lease early? Or get a new car early? After my 2004 GTO broke down, i was forced to lease a 2014 Focus, for 3 years and had to get extended miles. Its been about 5 months since i've had the car and so far i hate it. Slow, cheaply made, stereo is terrible, no traction in winter, i don't like it at all. Is there any chance of getting out of the lease early or turning it in without hurting my credit, or even turning it in to lease a different car. Possibly a truck or taurus. Has anyone else been in this situation?
  • Can I get a lease on a ford taurus? I was wondering if I could lease a taurus or fusion or something. I want something around the 2000-5000 dollar per year price range (don't feel like going 5000 a year though). Just something to get me through one year of school. I don't want a crummy 1.6 liter engine with 140 horsepower, I want something like a manual transmission v6 with 200-250 hp or something higher than 170 without getting too pricy.
