The Information You Need to Return Your Leased Vehicle
Your Lease Return Timeline
120 Days Before Lease End
Even though four months before your lease is up may seem too soon to start planning for your lease return, starting early can help you save time later and make your options clearer. We recommend you get started by refamiliarizing yourself with your lease agreement. It's crucial to keep in mind the residual or lease-end value, which will help you determine if holding onto your vehicle, returning, or selling it could be the best option.
90 Days Before Lease End
At this point, it's a great idea to think about which vehicle will serve your driving needs best for the next two to three years. It may be tempting to stay with your current vehicle or an equivalent model, but you may want to consider what lifestyle changes may occur. Perhaps you want a more efficient vehicle for commuting to work or need a large vehicle for your growing family.
With three months before the end of your lease, you can start to consider what other vehicles may suit your changing lifestyle. We offer a vast selection of high-quality new and used vehicles for you to consider. You can also take advantage of special savings for new Cadillac models by browsing our new vehicle specials.
60 Days Before Lease End
If you only have two months to go, it's the right time to schedule an inspection for your leased car. Most inspections only take 45 minutes for only a minor interruption to your day. It's crucial to bring all the items that came with the vehicle, including extra key fobs, floor mats, and manuals, to improve your chances of receiving a favorable condition report.
You will receive a condition report and an estimate of costs from the inspector.
30 Days Before Lease End
With only a month to go before your lease term is up, we recommend you schedule when you plan to bring in your vehicle. Contact our team to set up the date and time you plan to bring your vehicle. You will also want to provide the vehicle's current mileage and plan your end-of-term payment. Even if you leased your vehicle from a different dealership, you could still return it to us for a convenient process.
What to Do at the End of Your Lease
The day when your lease is up, you will have three options to choose from. The best option depends on your lifestyle and preferences. The first option is trading in your lease vehicle. You can use the vehicle's value to transition to one of our new or used vehicles while avoiding sales tax for extra savings. The second option is to buy your vehicle, letting you avoid any damage or mileage fees.
The last option is to simply return your vehicle. We will provide the necessary paperwork, and you will conveniently move on to your next vehicle.
