Can Artie tell me my best option?
No. The checkup shows what you entered, what can be calculated from that, and what still needs the leasing company or an authorized dealership to confirm. You decide.
Lease-end help

Start with the facts—your vehicle, mileage, timing, leasing company, and what you’re considering.
Free educational checkup. No obligation to replace your vehicle.

Not sure when your lease ends or who the leasing company is? That’s okay.
Step 1 of 5
Considering
This is what you’re considering. It is not a confirmation that the path is available.
What happens after I ask for help?
1. I review what you sent
Vehicle, timing, mileage, provider, and what you’re considering.
2. We identify what is missing
That might be the exact maturity date, the VIN, a current purchase quote, a return location, or whether a dealer may acquire this lease.
3. We verify the relevant path
Using the lease agreement, the provider, or an authorized dealership process. A website sentence does not override the contract.
4. You decide
No requirement to buy another vehicle from Artie or Royal Moore simply because you requested Lease-End Help.
Leasing in the Buyer Guide is where the ideas are taught. This page is for the lease you actually have.
Questions people ask
Can another dealership acquire my lease?
Sometimes, and it depends on the company that services that lease. Drive With Artie does not claim every lease can be acquired or returned at Royal Moore.
What if I’m over my mileage?
The mileage tool is a projection from what you enter. It is not a lease-end bill. Buying the vehicle can change return charges, and it does not make mileage irrelevant to value.
What if I don’t know who services the lease?
You can continue. The name stays unverified until you see it on a statement or Artie helps you check.
