Avg. Wear/Tear Fees @ Lease End?

dudafunk · 12-04-2009, 11:53 AM

Any experiences on people leasing 350z's and returning them to the dealer... what numbers are we talking about on wear and tear charges? I know this is abstract, but assume you have not damaged it bad but the dealer is being an *** trying to rip you off.

Usually they want you to lease from them again, else they try and get some money back outta you. Just curious to what those numbers could be like? Any one heard of stories of having to pay more than say $1000?

The dealers don't charge for wear and tear, the banks do. If you get the vehicle inspected 60 days before it's due, you have the time and right to have it repaired yourself and reinspected. If you wait til it's too late, you're stuck paying whatever the bank charges.

NMAC sends you a bill for the wear and tear charges, not us. Most bills are 500-600.00 dollars. But if you have bald tires and damage like, a dent or an accident expect to pay more.

If you lease or purchase another Nissan through NMAC, they will waive up to $500.00 on wear and tear.

Hope that helps answer your question.
