What options do I have at the end of my lease?

Before your lease is up, we want to make sure you are prepared for whatever may come next. The more you are aware of the options available to you, the easier it will be to make your final decision and have the rest of your lease end smoothly without any hiccups.

  1. Return Your Mercedes: The first option that you can consider is to simply return the current Mercedes-Benz that you are driving. You can then decide if you wish to lease another vehicle through us or if you intend to just walk away. No matter what, our sales team will be here to answer questions, help you potentially find your next vehicle, and make sure that the switch to your next lease happens quickly and efficiently so you can be on your way. Make sure to research our inventory as many as three months in advance!
  2. Purchase Your Current Vehicle: Have you been loving your current Mercedes? We've all been there before, and if that's the case for you, then you're in luck. You can utilize our dealership to figure out the necessary steps to purchase your leased vehicle and make sure that you can continue driving it for years to come. We'll be able to let you know what you owe and figure out any financing needs you may have.

Can you tell me about the lease-end steps?

  1. Schedule the Pre-Inspection: Before you can bring in your leased Mercedes-Benz, you have to make sure that you schedule a pre-inspection. This is completely complimentary, so you do not have to worry about paying for it. You'll be choosing the location and time that works best for you, with the ability for this inspection to even happen at your own home. You can call 800-556-2811 for any assistance in scheduling.
  2. Review the Results of the Pre-Inspection: The inspection has happened, now what? You will want to check the report that is available online and see the kind of options you have for potential repairs. You'll receive recommendations, and all of this should be done before your vehicle is returned to us. Normal wear and tear is expected, but anything beyond that should be dealt with as quickly as possible.
  3. Turn in Your Mercedes: Schedule a drop-off day that works for you! You'll be removing your vehicle from your account on the Mercedes-Benz app, taking all of your items with you, and making sure that everything that came with your ride is back where it belongs.
  4. Get the Lease-End Statement: The very last step, one that you may not even know about, is the lease-end statement that you will be getting in the mail. This is where you'll learn more about any additional charges for things like wear and use or mileage overages. All of the inspections are done by a third-party vehicle inspection to make sure that they are completely unbiased.

What is the Credit Card Test?

The last thing we want to mention when it comes to your leased Mercedes-Benz is a key factor to consider when dealing with any wear and tear damage that you may have. One of the best ways to assess potential exterior damage is to use a credit card. You'll place the credit card over any damage, and if it covers it completely, that's the kind of damage that you do not have to worry about repairing. There is already a lot for you to think about, and this is a small tip that can help reduce stress. A small ding or scratch is not going to run up charges for you, the point is to just be a safe, conscientious driver as much as possible.
