I leased my car at Honda and my 3 year lease is coming up in June. I don’t know much about cars (my ex helped me get this lease) and so I called the dealership about my options. They said 1. I return the car. 2. I return the car and get a new lease with them for another car. 3. I take a loan to payoff the car. I always thought that I can just end up buying the car from Honda (do my monthly payments still but of course payments will be higher) and not have to take out a loan. Am I wrong? From what it sounds like, my only option is I would have to get a loan if I want to keep the car.
