Should I buy out my leased car?

( www.reddit.com )

Should I buy out my leased car? I’m 24 and the lease on my first car is ending next June. It’s a 2021 Toyota Corolla, I’ve put 20,000 miles on it so far, and it would cost $12,500 to buy out. Tbh, it does have a few minor scratches on it from going too far over parking lot cement blocks a few times and one small scratch from someone opening their car door into it. But it runs…
