Lease End Options in Bakersfield, CA
One of the most appealing aspects of opting for a leasing contract is the sheer amount of options you have at your disposal when it comes to moving forward after the negotiation has reached its end. However, multiple routes can sometimes lead to a bit of confusion for our customers here at Bill Wright Toyota. Allow us to expand upon each alternative in the guide that is presented before you!
Buying
Are you one to take pride in a vehicle that you can drive until the very end and regale your friends and family with places you’ve gone with it that are much further beyond Bakersfield? If so, long-term ownership is a route you’re likely to favor. Rather than shopping for a factory-fresh model once you’re set to return your leased vehicle at our location, you’ll instead inquire about purchasing the model for its residual value. In simple terms, this means paying for the car’s expected monetary worth, which was highlighted in the lease paperwork that was signed. The monthly reimbursements you’ve made will be rewarded in the sense that after a few more payments, the model will be yours to keep.
Continuing to Lease
We’ll now highlight another option available to you once your leasing arrangement is up. This is trading in the current vehicle you’ve been driving through East 178 Freeway and going on to lease another factory-fresh model. An opportunity for those who want a fresh start with a new car and different contract stipulations, this path is ideal for our customers whose driving needs have shifted or who are simply craving to drive a different vehicle. After you’ve consulted with our Finance Department about any lifestyle changes, whether longitudinal or financial, you’ll have the bragging rights of showing off a shiny Toyota car at Weill Park.
End the Contract
If you’d rather not be beholden to any agreements going forward, our team understands. You’re always able to terminate the lease, provided that your vehicle has undergone an all-inclusive inspection beforehand. It's best practice to schedule this about two to three months before you’re expected to hand the keys back over to us, as it bides you time to prepare for unexpected fees or expenses. You’ll also want to gather necessary documentation and items, which include spare fobs, a maintenance history report, and your Owner’s Manual. Once you’ve removed your personal belongings from the interior, you can make your way to our location and begin to turn the lead car back over to us!
What Should I Do Before Ending My Leasing Contract?
- Perform a lease inspection
- Remove your personal belongings from the interior
- Gather important vehicle documentation
