Your Ford Lease-End Options

At the end of your lease, you generally have several choices. The right one depends on your driving habits, budget, and what you want from your next vehicle.

• Lease a new Ford vehicle
• Purchase your current leased Ford
• Return your leased Ford and walk away
• Upgrade to a different Ford model
• Discuss your equity and financing options

Whether you've been driving a Ford F-150, Escape, Explorer, Bronco Sport, Maverick, Mustang Mach-E, Expedition, Ranger, or another Ford model, Thornhill Ford can explain each option in detail so you can make an informed decision.

Start Planning Before Your Lease Ends

Don't wait until your lease officially expires. Starting about 90 days before your maturity date gives you time to evaluate your options without feeling rushed.

Planning ahead allows you to:

• Schedule a lease-end inspection.
• Review your remaining payments and lease agreement.
• Compare current Ford models.
• Explore financing if you'd like to purchase your leased vehicle.
• Prepare for any excess mileage or wear charges.

Getting started early also gives you more flexibility if you're interested in ordering or locating a specific Ford model.

The Ford Lease Return Process

Returning your leased vehicle is usually much simpler than many drivers expect. The process follows several straightforward steps. First, you'll schedule an appointment with the Thornhill Ford team. We'll review your lease maturity timeline and answer any questions you have. Next comes the vehicle inspection. This evaluates normal wear and tear, checks for excess damage, and verifies your mileage.

You'll also want to gather important items, including:

• Both key fobs
• Owner's manuals
• Maintenance records, if available
• Any accessories that originally came with the vehicle

Once everything has been reviewed, you'll complete the lease return paperwork and decide whether you'd like to lease another Ford model, finance your current vehicle, or conclude your lease.

Understanding Normal Wear and Tear

One of the biggest concerns drivers have involves vehicle condition. Normal wear generally includes the everyday signs of driving that naturally occur throughout the lease. Small surface scratches, minor interior wear, and normal tire usage are often expected.

Excess wear may include:

• Large dents or deep scratches
• Torn upholstery
• Broken glass or mirrors
• Missing equipment or accessories
• Major wheel damage

Keeping up with routine maintenance throughout your lease can also help ensure a smoother lease-end experience.

Mileage and Lease-End Charges

Many Ford leases include annual mileage allowances. If you've driven more than expected, don't panic. Our team can review your lease agreement and explain how excess mileage may affect your lease-end costs. Depending on your situation, purchasing your leased vehicle or leasing another Ford model may provide options worth considering. Every lease is different, so having a conversation before your lease expires can help you avoid surprises.

Purchasing Your Leased Ford

Many drivers grow attached to their leased Ford vehicle and decide it's the perfect fit for their lifestyle. If that's the case, purchasing your leased vehicle may be an excellent option.

Buying your leased Ford allows you to:

• Keep the vehicle you already know.
• Maintain a familiar maintenance history.
• Avoid shopping for another vehicle.
• Continue driving a vehicle that fits your needs.
• Explore financing options through our finance team.

If you're interested in purchasing your lease, Thornhill Ford can explain your buyout amount and available financing solutions.

Upgrade to a New Ford Vehicle

Technology, capability, safety features, and convenience features continue to improve across the Ford lineup. Leasing another Ford model gives you an opportunity to enjoy the latest innovations while maintaining the flexibility many drivers appreciate.

Depending on your lifestyle, you may find yourself interested in:

• Ford F-150 for work and towing.
• Ford Maverick for everyday versatility.
• Ford Escape for efficient commuting.
• Ford Explorer for growing families.
• Ford Bronco Sport for weekend adventures.
• Ford Expedition for maximum passenger and cargo space.
