Anthony Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 (edited) I've already paid off my lease via Ford Credit. I've already had the third party inspection. I called the dealer today and advised the above and they said if I'm not buying it out all I need to do is come up to the dealership and drop off the keys. Is this accurate (I've never leased before so don't know)? There's no paperwork involved in returning it or anything? The lady on the phone said no appointment or anything was necessary just to come and drop off the keys. Thanks!

bzcat Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Generally speaking, if your car has already been inspected for lease return, then yes, you just give it back to the dealer and you are done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then someone came out later and checked it out. I turned it in 3 months early and paid off lease. I got a check from Subaru about 6 weeks later reimbursing me in full for my 3 months of payments.

silverboost Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Before you turn it in I would shop around to find out what other companies would buy it from you for. More than likely the price another dealer would pay is more than your buyout of your lease. Check out the below places as I would be willing to bet you would make 1000's more selling it to one of the below: Carvana Givemethevin.com CarMax Vroom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brother-n-law sells Range Rovers and one of his good customer's got a $10k check prior to turning in his lease vehicle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Posted August 3, 2021 Author Share Posted August 3, 2021 Thanks, I had looked into that and the difference was a couple thousand, but I need the driveway room more than the money at the moment. I turned it in this morning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
