Lease Return Options

Ford Lease Returns

As your lease term nears its conclusion, you'll need to consider your next steps. Whether you're planning to upgrade to a new Ford, purchase your current vehicle, or return the lease, we're here to assist you with your decision.

Option 1: Trade-in for a New Ford

At the end of your lease, you can easily trade in your current vehicle and upgrade to one of Ford's newest models for a smooth transition into your next vehicle.

Benefits of Leasing Again:

• Drive the Newest Models: Enjoy the latest technology and features that Ford has to offer.
• Reduced Maintenance Costs: Many lease agreements include maintenance plans, which help to minimize your out-of-pocket expenses.
• Potentially Lower Payments: Depending on your agreement, monthly payments on a new lease could be lower or similar to your current payments.

Option 2: Purchase Your Leased Vehicle

If you've become attached to your current vehicle, purchasing it may be your right choice.

Consider a Buyout:

• Check Condition: Evaluate your vehicle's wear, tear, and mileage.
• Compare Market Value: Research the current value of your vehicle to see how it aligns with the buyout price.
• Financial Factors: Compare the overall ownership costs, including monthly payments, interest, and depreciation.

Option 3: Return Your Lease

Returning it is straightforward if you're ready to move on from your leased vehicle.

Pre-Return Inspection:

• Schedule Ahead: Set up a pre-return inspection a few weeks before your lease ends.
• Inspection Process: A representative will check your vehicle for wear, tear, and any damage.
• Terms of Lease: The inspector will assess your vehicle based on the terms outlined in your lease agreement.

Final Return Steps and Possible Fees:

• When returning your vehicle, bring your lease paperwork, all keys, the owner's manual, service records, and any accessories that came with the car.
• Mileage Overages: Exceeding your mileage limit may result in additional charges.
• Wear and Tear Fees: Any excessive wear or damage may incur extra costs.
• Disposition Fee: This fee helps cover the administrative costs of processing your lease return.
