Returning Your Leased Toyota

After years of being seated behind the wheel of your new Toyota, your lease is coming to an end. You may be thinking, "What am I supposed to do now, and when should I do it?"

Well, look no further; we've got you covered. We've compiled and carefully answered some of the most common questions you might have about returning your car at lease-end.

Can I purchase my leased car?

Yes, you absolutely can. If you love the vehicle you've been driving and you like knowing the exact history of where it's been, then we'd be happy to help you keep driving what you love. You'll be paying the residual value (Plus tax) on your vehicle, which is the pre-determined value that the vehicle is worth at the lease end.

I'm not driving a Toyota, but I want to make the switch. What do I do?

If you're longing to get your hands on the wheel of a Toyota, it's easy to make the switch and we're happy to help you. Simply come in and see us here, at Maple Toyota - we're eager to assist you in finding the perfect vehicle.

When should I start considering my options?

Around 6 months before your lease is up, you should schedule a meeting at our dealership to discuss your options. We can help you figure out a course of action for whatever you choose…be it re-leasing, buying or simply returning your vehicle.

What will be checked when I return my car?

About 60 days before your lease ends, it will be time to bring in your vehicle for inspection. This will be to check the mechanics as well as the inside and out of your car. Your regular wear and tear is covered when you return your vehicle, so don't stress. We're just checking for anything that would be considered "excessive" wear and tear.

When do I bring in my car to return it?

You will have made your decision by about 30 days of what you will be doing with your car. If you're re-leasing or returning it, then you will be bringing your vehicle in either before or on the day that your lease ends.
