LEASE END OPTIONS


What should you do with your current leased vehicle?


Whether this is your first lease or tenth your have options. Rest assured - your lease-end process can be straightforward and easy.


Here is some information to help you make your decision about your leased vehicle before your vehicle turn-in date arrives.


You Have Options

OPTION 1:

Return your leased vehicle and lease/purchase a new one.


1. Contact Fox Chevrolet Ltd. a few months before your lease expires, contact us to set up a lease-end consultation appointment. This will ensure all of your questions and/or concerns are answered before you begin your search. At this appointment, you can take the opportunity to test drive any vehicles in our lineup.


2. Check for excess wear. Excess wear is anything beyond the normal wear that a vehicle endures, and can be caused by neglect, abuse, damage or poor maintenance. To protect yourself from excess wear, keep your vehicle running at its best by following your vehicle's maintenance schedule and by performing any required repairs at our service or collision centers. You should check for excess wear - either on your own or with the assistance of your dealer - before returning your vehicle. That way, if excess wear is found, you'll be able to make repairs before returning your vehicle, avoiding excess wear charges.


3. Return your vehicle. Once you've returned your vehicle, it will be inspected by a GM Financial authorized inspection company to identify any outstanding excess wear. You'll then be able to formally terminate your lease by paying any applicable lease-end fees and taxes. Download and print GMF's Excess Wear table
