Lease return help

Amj2020

So I leased a Maxima in 12 and its time to go back. Just had it inspected and they are way more anal than I thought. 400 per door ding and I had 3...they are minor at best...

The real thing that bothered me is they said theres a 400 ish dollar fee because We are not leasing another infiniti/nissan product and that its in the contract. Now I am 99% sure its not on the front of the contract, and was never discussed when I picked up the car. Perhaps the back/fine print? Never saw it if it is there...

Anyone have any insight if this is in fact a charge that they can actually take from me, seems like crap if you ask me...

Bullshít. You can get all the door sings taken out for $100-150

Fee to take it back... If it isn't on the contract, they can't do that

wait, leased cars usually have insurance to fix these dings under that coverage. most as high as 1700 or something. i think they're trying to f- with you. and yah, pdr for small dings are like $30 each (cost).

I know I can get my local dent doctor for the 400 per dings but the return charge for NOT using nissan again is what is pissing me off royally. I never read the back of the contract and have to when I get home. Its just another PITA that I could live without!

Anyone ever actually pay a fee to return the lease when not going into the same brand (especially nissan)?

Yes you can get a local ding guy to fix it for a fraction then return the car even if you decide to return it to another dealer.

As far as return lease fee, it's been in the Nissan & maybe other leases for about 10 years now. The only way to avoid it that I know is get another Nissan. Sorry.

ive only leased two car in my lifetime (owned over 20cars) and it was a free return both times.

Never heard of it, but if it's in the contract, you're screwed!

Ahh humanity...

On another note I vote we un-ban jungleZ temporarily cause he can provide good input on leased cars!

Does the back of the contract count? :P


i want to leave work so bad and go look, if only it wasnt an hour away.

I think it is time to comb through the contract and see if you can find that specific "agreement".

If you can not find it have the dealer point it out to you where specifically they are referencing this.

Usually "special" add on agreements (but not mandatory) are initialed as well, so double check for that.

Edit: if you are early terminating there could be a early termination penalty.

nissan charges you disposition fee at the end of the term..
need to read your lease contract, it will give you all the explanation you need to know.

Amj2020

man this is like getting punched in the twig and berries at the end...glad I didnt re-lease a Nissan just to be pissed at the end again...

Are there any terms in buying out a car that anyone knows? I leased the Z but I was planning on just buying it soon before the lease was over. Any hidden fees associated with that people have found out about?
