What Happens When You Return Your Lease To The Dealership?
One of the most important things to remember at the completion of your lease: there will be a comprehensive inspection of your leased vehicle, which could result in being asked to pay for any kind of substantial damages to the vehicle (unless, of course, you're buying the vehicle you've been leasing!).
What will the vehicle examiner consider?
- Any damage to the vehicle's body, such as dents, scratches, and scrapes that cannot be readily buffed out or clear-coated.
- Cracks or pitting in the windshield or windows.
- Mechanical concerns such as any dashboard lights or any kind of new noises from the engine or other internal components of the vehicle.
- Tears or stains in the upholstery of the vehicle's interior.
- Excessive wear and tear on the tires.
To avoid being hit with manufacturer service fees upon the conclusion of your lease, be sure to clean any stains in the vehicle's interior and keep up on your tire maintenance!
Warning: Operating, servicing and maintaining a passenger vehicle or off-road vehicle can expose you to chemicals including engine exhaust, carbon monoxide, phthalates, and lead, which are known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. To minimize exposure, avoid breathing exhaust, do not idle the engine except as necessary, service your vehicle in a well-ventilated area and wear gloves or wash your hands frequently when servicing your vehicle.
