This is the Lease End Minute. I'm Joe from Champion Auto Finance.
Quick tip on your payoff quote. Look for the good-through date. Payoff quotes expire, often in a week or two, because the amount changes as payments come due.
If you're financing the buyout, the lender needs a current quote. Send them an expired one and you'll be waiting while someone requests a new one.
So time it right. Line up your financing, then ask for a fresh payoff quote and send it over right away.
