What are My Lease-End Options?

When your Chevrolet lease ends, you have three options. First, you can return the vehicle to your dealership by the lease-end date after scheduling a pre-return inspection. Make sure to remove any personal information, and sign the necessary paperwork. Second, you can lease or finance a new Chevrolet, returning your current vehicle and upgrading to the latest model. This can be a great option for those who want to try out the newest vehicles on the market! If you're unsure whether to lease or buy, we here at Lynch Mukwonago will be happy to help you decide. Finally, you can choose to purchase your leased Chevrolet at any time during your lease! This will allow you to keep the very same vehicle you've been leasing, so you can continue to enjoy it for years to come!

How Can I Prepare for the End of My Lease?

When you're nearing the end of your lease, you'll want to start getting your car ready to be returned. To prepare for your lease return, it's recommended to schedule a pre-return inspection anywhere between two to four months before your lease ends. This inspection will provide a report on any wear and tear that might affect what you owe at turn-in. If there are any repairs needed, such as excess wear or recall fixes, you can choose to complete them and send in receipts for a credit on your account. If repairs aren't made, the charges will be added to your Lease-End Liability Invoice. Some other ways to prepare your vehicle as you get closer to the end-date are to remove all personal items, and erase any information that might be saved to the navigation system, infotainment system, or address book. These steps will make sure nothing gets left behind at the end of your lease. 

What is Excess Wear?

As we mentioned above, sometimes your end-of-lease inspection will reveal excess wear in your vehicle, which you may be charged for depending on the damage. We want to fill you in on what this might refer to, so that you can take extra care in preventing these sorts of damages from happening. According to Chevrolet, this may include 4 or more dings per panel of your vehicle, for example, five on one car door, or permanent staining to the interior fabric. If a spill does happen, make sure to clean it up as soon as possible so that you can prevent a stain from setting in. Other excess wear includes ripped upholstery measuring more than ? of an inch, cracked glass or headlights, and any scratches or dents larger than 6 inches. If you're currently leasing a vehicle, you can use strategies like defensive driving, or protective accessories like seat covers to avoid these costly damages!
