You can't sell something you don't own. Basically a lease is a long term rental agreement. You can talk to the leasing company about ending the lease but that's about it. Especially since you're not that far into the lease. You can't sell the vehicle to someone else. Hope that helps! Jim

You might be able to swap the lease to your friend, basically the friend will make the lease payments till the end and hand it in. Contact the owner of the vehicle , the information is on your lease documents.

Go through the leasing company and read the lease!
