Lease Return Options

Ford Lease Returns

As the end of your lease draws near, you have a few important decisions to make. Whether you're ready to trade up to a new Ford, hold onto your current vehicle, or return your lease, we'll help guide you through each option.

Option 1: Trade-in for a New Model

Once your lease ends, you can easily trade in your current vehicle and upgrade to the latest Ford models, ensuring a smooth transition.

Benefits of Leasing Again:

• Always Drive the Newest: Enjoy Ford's latest technology and features with each new lease.
• Lower Maintenance Costs: Many lease agreements include maintenance, which helps reduce your out-of-pocket expenses.
• Potentially Lower Payments: Depending on the lease terms, your new monthly payments could be on par with or lower than your current lease.

Option 2: Buy Your Leased Vehicle

If you've become attached to your leased vehicle, purchasing it at the end of your lease could be a great option.

Consider a Buyout:

• Vehicle Condition: Assess your vehicle's condition, including any wear, tear, and mileage.
• Check Market Value: Research the current value of your vehicle to evaluate its potential resale worth.
• Financial Considerations: Compare the costs of ownership, including monthly payments, interest, and depreciation, against the buyout price.

Option 3: Return Your Lease

Returning it is simple and straightforward if you're ready to part with your vehicle.

Pre-Return Inspection:

• Schedule Ahead: Book a pre-return inspection a few weeks before the lease ends.
• Inspection Overview: A representative will check for excessive wear and tear and inspect the vehicle's condition.
• What to Expect: The inspection will review the vehicle's condition as your lease agreement outlines.

Final Return and Potential Charges:

• When returning the car, be prepared by bringing your original lease paperwork, all keys, the owner's manual, and any accessories that came with it.
• Mileage Overages: Additional fees may apply if you've driven beyond the mileage limit.
• Wear and Tear Fees: Any excessive damage could lead to extra charges.
• Disposition Fee: This fee covers administrative costs associated with processing the lease return.
