Any way to get out of a car lease with 18 payments left?

Yeah, make your 18 payments now...that'll get you out.

Seriously, you're SOL. I've been leasing vehicles for a while.

yeah I know, either it gets stolen or I total it.... otherwise I'm stuck paying for it :|:|
 
You will get hosed. This is just 1 of the many reasons why I would never lease a car (for personal use).
 
Like the other folks have said, try to find someone to take it over for you. Did you put down any $$ as a down payment? On the TV commercials they seem to say things like "$2500" at lease signing. If you didn, you should be able to find someone to jump on this deal because they don't have to pay the down payment. If, for example, it's a mustang, I would recommend going to a mustang board/forum and seeing if anyone wants to take over your payments. I think if you declare bankruptcy they might let you out of it. You should also call the people you are leasing it from and talk to them. They may have a "buy out" option or something like that?

Never again will I lease a car or buy new... unless I am uber-rich and don't care.
 
This is why I consider leasing the second stupidest thing you can do with respect to cars. (Right behind buying new and selling them less than 2 years later).

Actually, that won't get you out either, unless you bought gap insurance. Your insurance company will only cover the current value of the car, which likely isn't even close to closing out your lease. You'd have to cover that out of pocket.
You can contact the leasing company to find out what the current buyout on your lease is, and compare it with what you could get for the car by selling it. If they are close, you might consider trying to cover the difference. If not, you are SOL.

Then by paying your lease payments you ARE paying off debt. That neg-equity will be gone when you finish out the lease.
 
Bend me over and do me raw. You're paying $400/month for an 02 focus LEASE? That is NOT right. Did you roll your medical school tuition in when you said neg equity?!
