Old English tima limited space of time, from Proto-Germanic *timon time (cf. Old Norse timi time, proper time, Swedish timme an hour), from PIE *di-mon-, from root *da-cut up, divide (see tide). Abstract sense of time as an indefinite continuous duration is recorded from late 14c.
Many people don't realize you can buy the vehicle from the leasing company at any time. This is called an early buyout and in some cases, it's a great way to get out of your lease if you can find a buyer for the car. The first thing you need to do is find out the payoff or buyout amount of the vehicle from the leasing company. Always make sure to deal with the leasing company directly and not a dealership.
Online services like leasetrade.com, leasetrading.com, or swapalease.com allow you to advertise your lease to prospective buyers. People who are looking to get out of a lease are matched up with people who want to take over the lease for the remainder of the term. These services can be useful, but exercise caution and check the monthly advertising fees and any other out-of-pocket expenses you may incur.
