Lease Return Options

Ford Lease Returns

With your lease term coming to a close, you have a few key decisions ahead. Whether you're planning to upgrade to a new Ford, purchase your current vehicle, or return your lease, we're here to guide you through each option.

Option 1: Upgrade to a New Ford

When your lease ends, you can trade in your current vehicle and upgrade to the latest Ford models, making the transition seamless.

Benefits of Leasing Again:

• Drive the Latest Models: Stay up to date with Ford's latest technology and vehicle features.
• Lower Maintenance Costs: Most lease agreements include maintenance, reducing potential out-of-pocket expenses.
• Potentially Lower Payments: Depending on your lease agreement, your monthly payments for a new vehicle could be similar to or even lower than what you're currently paying.

Option 2: Purchase Your Leased Vehicle

If you've formed a connection with your current vehicle, buying it at the end of your lease could be the right option for you.

Things to Consider:

• Condition Check: Check your vehicle's overall condition, including wear, tear, and mileage.
• Compare Market Value: Research the current market value to gauge whether purchasing is a good deal.
• Financial Analysis: Consider the costs of ownership, including monthly payments, interest, and depreciation, when comparing it to the buyout price.

Option 3: Return Your Lease

Returning it is a simple process if you're ready to part ways with your leased vehicle.

Pre-Return Inspection:

• Scheduling: Plan your pre-return inspection a few weeks before your lease end date.
• Inspection Details: A representative will inspect the vehicle for wear, tear, and any damage.
• Lease Agreement Review: The inspector will assess the vehicle based on the terms of your lease.

Final Steps and Possible Fees:

• When returning your vehicle, be sure to bring your lease agreement, keys, owner's manual, service records, and any vehicle accessories.
• Mileage Overages: Exceeding the mileage allowance could result in per-mile charges.
• Wear and Tear Charges: Excess damage may lead to additional fees.
• Disposition Fee: This fee covers the cost of processing the returned vehicle.
