Lease Return Options

Ford Lease Returns

As your lease term winds down, it's time to decide on your next move. Whether you plan to upgrade to a new Ford, keep the vehicle you're driving, or return it, we're here to guide you through the process.

Option 1: Upgrade to a New Ford

When your lease ends, you can trade in your current vehicle and upgrade to one of Ford's new models, ensuring a smooth transition into your next ride.

Why Lease Again?

• Access to the Latest Models: Always drive a vehicle with the newest technology and features.
• Lower Maintenance Costs: Leases often come with maintenance packages, which can reduce repair costs.
• Possibly Lower Payments: Depending on the lease terms, your new monthly payments could be similar to or lower than your current ones.

Option 2: Purchase Your Leased Vehicle

If you've enjoyed your current vehicle, you can choose to purchase it.

Is a Buyout the Right Choice for You?

• Condition Check: Take stock of your vehicle's wear, mileage, and overall condition.
• Market Research: Look into your car's current market value to assess its potential for future resale.
• Financial Considerations: Compare the cost of ownership, including payments, interest, and depreciation, against the buyout price.

Option 3: Return Your Lease

Returning your lease is simple if you're ready for a fresh start.

Pre-Return Inspection:

• Inspection Timing: Schedule your inspection a few weeks prior to the end of your lease.
• The Process: A representative will inspect the vehicle for excessive wear and tear or damage.
• Inspection Review: Your vehicle's condition will be compared with the lease agreement's terms.

Final Return and Potential Charges:

• When returning the vehicle, make sure to bring your lease paperwork, all vehicle keys, the owner's manual, maintenance documentation, and any accessories that came with it.
• Mileage Overcharges: You may be charged a fee if you've exceeded the mileage limit.
• Excess Damage Fees: Damage beyond typical wear and tear could lead to additional costs.
• Disposition Fee: This covers the costs associated with processing the returned vehicle.
