Are you stuck with a lease or loan for a car you just don't want any longer? Many leases, and some loans, allow a new person to assume the remaining term of the lease, taking over the vehicle and the payments on it. This person could be the person you are selling your car to, allowing you to walk away from the transaction without any more payments hanging over your head. This is not simple and you need to take care to ensure everything is fully documented and agreed with your leasing company.
