Why Lease Again?

  • Access to the Latest Models: Enjoy cutting-edge Toyota features and technology.

  • Lower Maintenance Costs: Many leases include maintenance plans to reduce out-of-pocket expenses.

  • Potentially Lower Payments: Depending on your terms and eligibility, you may qualify for lower monthly payments.

Option 2: Purchase Your Current Vehicle

If you've grown attached to your Toyota, buying out your lease might be the right choice. Before deciding, consider these key factors:

Is Buying Your Lease a Good Fit?

  • Vehicle Condition: Assess its wear, mileage, and any potential repairs.

  • Market Value: Compare your vehicle's market value to its buyout price.

  • Financial Considerations: Account for total ownership costs, including the buyout price, interest, and depreciation.

Option 3: Return Your Lease

If you're ready to part ways with your Toyota, the lease return process is straightforward.

Pre-Return Inspection

  • Timing: Schedule an inspection a few weeks before your lease ends.

  • Process: A representative will evaluate the vehicle for excess wear or damage.

  • What to Expect: The inspector will ensure the vehicle meets the terms of your lease agreement.

Finalizing Your Return

When returning your vehicle, don't forget to bring:

Your original lease agreement

  • All sets of keys

  • The owner's manual

  • Maintenance records

  • Any accessories that came with the car

Potential Charges

  • Mileage Overages: Exceeding the mileage limit may incur a per-mile fee.

  • Excess Wear and Tear: Fees may apply for damage beyond normal wear.

  • Disposition Fee: This fee covers administrative costs associated with processing your return.

As your lease term wraps up, choose the option that best fits your needs. Upgrading to a new Toyota lets you enjoy the latest models, purchasing your current vehicle offers continuity, and returning your lease is a hassle-free way to move forward.
