Car Lease Return

Your Choices at the End of Your Lease

When you come to the end of your lease you have the following options

  • Buyout the Leased Vehicle
  • Drop off the vehicle and not renew
  • Begin another lease

The end of your lease can be a very exciting or a little hectic time for you. We want to let you know that we are here for you throughout the entire process. Below are further details on the options you have.

What Else Do You Have To Know When Returning Your Lease?

One of the biggest things to keep in mind at the completion of your lease is that there will be a complete inspection of the car, and will also be asked to pay for any kind of substantial damages to the vehicle if you are not buying it.

What will the vehicle examiner consider?

  • Dents, scratches and scrapes: Look for damage to the vehicle's body, particularly visible scratches and dents that cannot be readily buffed out or clear-coated.
  • Cracks or pitting: In the windshield or windows.
  • Mechanical concerns: Look into signals like the "check engine" light or any kind of new noises as it comes time for your lease to conclude.
  • Tears or stains: In the upholstery; try to remove any stains right away to avoid fees at your lease conclusion.
  • Excessive wear on the tires: Should there be substantial wear to the tires, safer to replace them yourself than be subject to manufacturer service fees.

What Will You do at the Conclusion of Your Bay Area Car Lease?

You Can Buyout Your Leased Vehicle

One choice you will have at the ending of your lease will be to buy the vehicle that you've been leasing in the Bay Area. Normally, the end-of-lease buyout expense will simply be any residual value; it's your responsibility to determine if the residual value is a sensible price for you to pay. You may have a few different reasons for carrying out this particular step; for some people, substantial damage may have happened to the vehicle during its lease span. This occurrence is most frequent for somebody who has children or pets who could have damaged the vehicle's interior. If this is the case, though rare, the cost of buying out the car may be more fiscally sensible than paying for the damages costs. Other drivers who make a decision to purchase their vehicle at the end of a lease typically just really like the car they have been driving, and determine it as fiscally advantageous to keep on driving it. If you happen to be someone who has come to love your leased car and do not want to get rid of it, you can buy it outright or seek financing to help you buy it.

You Could Walk Away from the Car Entirely

If you are done with your leased vehicle and don't wish to prolong your lease or purchase the vehicle, you can simply end your lease as soon as the time is up. Remember that if you wish to conclude your lease ahead of the appointed time, it's possible to achieve this; however, you will be accountable for taking care of the left over payments for your lease term. After you conclude your lease, whether early or on time, you could consider looking to purchase; for a large number of customers who choose to lease a car in the Bay Area, that period of leasing permits them to conserve money for a down payment on a car at the end of the lease term. If that's the case, Dublin Chevrolet will be more than happy to discuss your necessities and wishes for your next vehicle.

You Can Start a New Lease on a New Car

If you prefer the routine and less expensive monthly payments that go together with leasing a vehicle in the Bay Area, then you may desire to begin a lease on a totally different vehicle. For those who choose to enter into a fresh lease contract, there's an option to try something totally new. It's feasible that your necessities or lifestyle have evolved since you launched your previous lease; if you were driving a car and currently really need an SUV, Dublin Chevrolet can accommodate. Be certain to take a look at our inventory while you discover your choices for leasing a different car or truck in the Bay Area; you may find something completely unpredicted that suits your needs completely.
