Hello, I recently leased a 2026 WRX and I’m starting to regret leasing it a little. I chose to lease because I thought it was the smarter option in case anything happened to the car, but my plan from the start was always to buy it eventually.

Right now, with the way I’ve been saving money, I think I could have the car paid off in a little over a year.

I just wanted to ask how an early lease buyout works. If I decide to buy the car early, would I still have to pay the remaining lease payments for the full two years, or would the payoff amount be different?

Thank you.
