Return Your Lease Vehicle To Acura of Bedford Hills

The Returns Process

Don't leave your Acure vehicle return to the last minute. Start planning at least 2 to 3 months before your lease concludes to ensure a smooth process. Reach out to the Lease Maturity Center for detailed information on returning your vehicle.

To wrap up your lease, schedule a vehicle inspection as the end date approaches. You will need to provide your Acura Financial Services account number and your vehicle's VIN.

Keep in mind that additional costs may apply when returning your leased vehicle. These can include outstanding payments, fees for excess mileage, as well as expenses for wear and tear beyond the allowable limits, among other obligations.

A week before your lease ends, it's advisable to schedule an appointment with Acura of Bedford Hills. On the appointed day, deliver the vehicle to Acura of Bedford Hills, ensuring you have all keys, the owner's manual, and maintenance records. Don't forget the vehicle return receipt and inspection report, along with receipts for any prior repairs.

Once the vehicle is returned, notify the Lease Maturity Center of the completion of the return process.

Wear and Tear

Every vehicle experiences natural wear and tear from the moment it leaves the dealership, and this is taken into account for leased vehicles. When returning your Acura model, a vehicle inspection will be conducted, but you can also evaluate any scratches, dents, or damage to gauge potential charges.

Excessive wear and tear typically include dents larger than 1-1/2 inches or scratches exceeding three inches in length. If the tire tread measures less than 4/32 inches, there may be a charge for replacement.

Furthermore, any paint stains or noticeable touch-up paint application are considered damage. Having four or more dings on a single panel or dings on more than four panels is considered excessive. Similarly, more than two scratches per panel fall into the category of excessive wear and tear.

When it comes to returning your leased vehicle, it's important to keep an eye out for signs of wear and tear that might go beyond the usual wear. This can include dings larger than 1-1/2 inches in diameter, cracks in the windshield, damaged or broken glass, as well as issues like damaged mirrors or lenses, tears or stains in the interior, and stained or damaged seat cushions. Additionally, any problems with your vehicle's stereo, airbags, or other automated systems, as well as bent or damaged wheels or rims, could have an impact on your lease return process. Being aware of these factors can help ensure a smoother return experience for your leased Acura vehicle.

Early Lease Termination

If you find yourself considering an early termination of your lease, it's crucial to understand your available options. Begin by carefully reviewing your lease agreement to ascertain the specific terms and conditions that apply. Typically, you have the option to return the vehicle prematurely, settling any associated fees. Alternatively, you might explore the possibility of transferring your lease to another individual, although keep in mind that your name remains on the contract, making you liable for any eventualities.

Another avenue is to trade your lease for a different Acura vehicle. Any outstanding fees can be seamlessly integrated into the new lease, allowing for gradual payments rather than a lump-sum settlement. As an alternative, you can opt to purchase the vehicle outright at any point during the lease period, rather than waiting until the lease concludes. These options offer flexibility and can be tailored to your specific needs when considering your Acura lease arrangement.
