REVIEWING YOUR END-OF-TERM OPTIONS
VEHICLE TURN-IN INFORMATION
Starting with the vehicle turn-in process, Lake Norman Chrysler Dodge
Jeep Ram wants to help make your move from one Chrysler,Dodge or Ram vehicle
to the next as easy as possible. We've included helpful tips on your
end-of-term options, as well as your vehicle turn-in.
End-of-Term Options
When your current lease or contract expires, you can choose from the following options:
- Turn in your vehicle, pay any final charges, and lease or purchase another Chrysler, Jeep or Dodge vehicle.
- Arrange for an extension of your lease (directly with Chrysler Financial).
- Pay off your vehicle or finance the predetermined purchase.
- Turn in your vehicle and pay any final charges.
LEASE TURN-IN PRE-INSPECTION
Prior
to vehicle turn-in, you may wish to perform a pre-inspection to find
out in advance if your vehicle will pass the final inspection. You are
invited to come in to Lake Norman Chrysler Jeep Dodge for a
pre-inspection or you can perform this pre-inspection on your own.
While you are not responsible for "normal wear and tear," such as minor
dings, scratches or lightly soiled upholstery, you may be responsible
for "excess wear and tear."
If you determine repairs are necessary, you may want to make an
appointment to have your vehicle evaluated at our dealership. Repairs
must be completed prior to turn-in to avoid any additional charges.
Some repairs could be covered under warranty or insurance, which can
result in significant savings. We also have a full-service collision
center that can repair any exterior damage to your vehicle.
