Lease
Returns - Selling or Trading Your Vehicle
During your leased period your vehicle has been
exposed to the normal elements of nature,
a
variety of road conditions, stones, branches
and everyday "life".
Often this includes accidental bumps, scratches
and scuffs from car doors and bumpers in parking
lots
as well as passing bicycles and shopping
carts.
Your lease allows for "normal wear and
tear" ... but the cost of repairing the
scratches on your doors, fenders and bumpers
can be charged to you as "repainting"
costs" by the leasing company when you
return the vehicle as they must be refinished
to make the vehicle re-sellable to the next
owner who, like yourself, is looking to buy
a nice "clean" vehicle.
