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.
Maybe you have grown tired of your leased car and want a change. You do not have to begrudgingly continue driving the vehicle until your lease term expires. If you can afford to buy out your lease, you have the option to return your leased car to the dealership. Provided you pay the difference between the amount you have paid to date and the amount you owe for the remainder of the lease, your credit will not suffer when you return the vehicle.
