Buying out your existing lease could be a good alternative to leasing a new replacement vehicle, given the sky high prices of new cars due to the global semiconductor shortage.

However, be aware of junk fees when buying out your lease, especially if you have a Nissan.

Nissan Motor Acceptance Corporation (NMAC) instructs lessees to buy out their lease at a Nissan dealership, rather than from NMAC directly.

This presents another opportunity for dealers to make a profit — with some charging as much as $1,495 in so-called processing fees.
