What to Do When Your Lease Ends
There are a lot of advantages to leasing a car. You get a great car at a price you can afford, you can upgrade regularly to new models, and you don’t have to worry about depreciation. But for many first time leasers, the end of the lease comes with a lot of questions. While you can always ask an expert Ford dealer about what’s next, we’ll cover the basics of what to expect right here.
The first step at the end of a lease is the inspection. We’ll get in touch around 90 days before the end of your lease to schedule the inspection. You don’t need to worry about the little stuff that’s a normal part of driving a car, but before the inspection is a good time to deal with any major problems or damage. It’s also helpful at this point to clean out the car of most of the mess and personal items in it.
The next step before your lease period is up is to decide what you want to do next. Your leasing agreement probably comes with an option to buy your car at a set price, so you can choose to keep your vehicle if you really love it! If you’re ready to upgrade, you have two decision to make. The first is whether you want to stick with the same model, or try something new. She second is if you want to lease again, or purchase a new car.
Once you’ve made your decision, our dealers can take care of the rest. When your lease is over, just bring in your old car with everything that came with it – like spare keys – and we’ll take care of the rest. Whether you want to purchase your leased car or drive away with a new 2019 Ford Escape or 2018 Ford Focus, Louisville drivers don’t need to stress about the end of the lease. Here at O’Brien Ford of Shelbyville, we’ll make it easy for you!
