The Lease Maturity Process and Your Options 

Below is information for you to consider as you near your lease maturity date.  This information outlines the maturity process and your options.  We understand that you will probably have some questions, so we have included a Question and Answer section.  Additionally, approximately 90 days prior to your maturity date, you will receive a correspondence from Infiniti Financial Services that explains the maturity process and guidelines in more detail.  This correspondence will also provide a pre-approval or ?VRU? number for your next Infiniti should you be eligible.  If you still have additional questions, please feel comfortable in contacting us at the number above for assistance.   

THE BASICS OF THE PROCESS 

The process is pretty basic and simple.  When you are within 90 days of you lease maturity date, your vehicle is eligible for inspection.  The inspection reports are good for 90 days.   

It is your responsibility as the client to initiate the pre-maturity inspection of your vehicle at a time and place convenient for you.  To schedule an initial inspection, please call 800-253-9026.  The inspections can take place Monday through Friday between the times of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.  All a.m. appointments will be between 8:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m.  All p.m. appointments will be between 12:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m.  In all cases the client must be present.  The inspection can take place at your office or home.  When complete, the inspector will provide you with two copies of inspection report.  You will then have the initial official damage report.

 Should you have a discrepancy with any excess wear and tear, you have the option and right to contact IFS at 800-887-5155 to discuss any issue with a lease maturity agent.  You also have the option of repairing any items deemed to be excess wear and tear or damage.  However, the repairs must be completed and a re-inspection of the vehicle must occur prior to the lease maturity date.  For a re-inspection, call 800-253-9026. 

Excess wear and tear is defined as, but not limited to the following: 

  • Tires are required to have at least 1/8 inch on tread depth
  • Scratches that are 2? long or longer or are rough to touch due to being through the clear coat and/or paint
  • Windshield chips or cracks
  • Visible dents, Missing equipment, Incomplete maintenance, Interior stains, tears and damage.

 

Damage Waiver: $500 of any assessed wear and tear or excess mileage will be waived if you lease or buy new Infiniti within 120 days before and 30 days after your scheduled lease maturity date.  The acquisition of a new Nissan does NOT count, it must be an Infiniti.    

YOUR LEASE END OPTIONS  

  • Lease a NEW Infiniti vehicle ? Owner loyalty Incentives usually apply.  It is wise to inquire about your options.  On occasions, we can even eliminate up to 3 remaining payments on your existing lease with no penalty.  The Infiniti vehicle lineup has never been stronger with new models that offer outstanding lease values.  Contact us for details on the current programs.

 

          The Owner Loyalty Incentives usually offer substantial amounts of cash for current Infiniti owners towards the lease or purchase of any new model.  You may also qualify for waiver of security deposit.  To qualify, you must provide current registration of any Infiniti vehicle that you own or lease.  However, you do not need to trade the vehicle.

To compare purchasing your current lease to another new or pre-owned Infiniti.

 

  • Buy your current Infiniti - If you simply can't bear to part with your Infiniti vehicle at the end of the lease term, you can exercise your purchase option and buy the vehicle ?AS-IS? from Infiniti of South Atlanta.  You will be required to pay the guaranteed future value or residual value as listed on your vehicle lease contract.  You will also be subject to Georgia state sales tax and purchase option fee.  Infiniti of South Atlanta can normally assist you in acquiring the best finance terms available. 
     
  • Trade your current Infiniti for another NEW Infiniti model.  If it established that you have equity or built in value in your current Infiniti, trading makes sense.  You get the equity or built in value applied to your new Infiniti and any excess mileage and excess wear and tear charges are eliminated.
     
  • Return your vehicle to Infiniti of South Atlanta, then walk away.  If you decide to return your vehicle at the end of your lease, please review your lease agreement carefully. Be sure you clearly understand your contractual obligations.  A certified inspection company will provide you with an assessment of any potential excess mileage and/or excess vehicle wear & tear.   Contact the Infiniti Lease Customer Network at 800-887-5155 to schedule a complimentary, required vehicle inspection.

Upon return of your vehicle, you?ll be responsible for the following:

  • Any excess mileage charges
  • Maximum mileage is listed on your lease agreement
  • Any official fees and state taxes due
  • Any outstanding payments
  • Excess wear and use charges - if your vehicle has sustained damage that is not a result of normal wear and use
  • Registration fees
  • All keys & remotes, spare tire, navigation disc, etc.
  • If you decide to return your vehicle, drop off at Infiniti of South Atlanta regardless of the original selling dealer.

CHOOSING A LEASE END OPTION ? Q &A

Be sure to carefully evaluate all of your lease end options.  You may be surprised as to which option is best for you.  Below are some common questions regarding the lease maturity process. 

Question:  If I simply return my vehicle to Infiniti, am I losing anything? 

Answer:  Maybe.  The market value is occasionally higher than the end of lease value stated on your contract.  One of the free services we provide is an appraisal service at lease maturity to help you determine where you stand. 

Question:  When is it advisable to use your leased vehicle as a trade-in?  

Answer:  Once it is established that you have equity exceeding your residual value, it makes sense.  In that case, you can use the equity or built-in value of your current lease vehicle as an initial investment for a new Infiniti model.  Trading eliminates the mandatory lease-end inspection and potential excess mileage and wear and tear charges.  As a courtesy to you, Infiniti of South Atlanta will be happy to provide a thorough evaluation to determine your equity position.   

Question:  But, what if I have exceeded my mileage limits or have some excess wear and tear or minor damage to my vehicle?  Is it best to return, or to purchase?  

Answer:  It depends on the amount of excess mileage, excess wear and tear or amount of minor damage.  In most cases, there is a specific amount of normal wear and tear that is acceptable under your lease agreement.  However, it is a requirement to get your vehicle inspected to evaluate your position.   

As a courtesy to you, Infiniti of South Atlanta will inspect your vehicle prior to maturity and provide you a realistic estimate as to what you should expect.  This information can guide you to the right decision.  We can normally get any cosmetic and mechanical repairs done for much less than what an inspector will assess. 

Question:  If I trade, do you still have to pay for excess mileage and wear-and-tear?  

Answer:  No.  But, that may not be the best course of action.  In most cases we find that the charge for excess mileage does not exceed the amount of depreciation a vehicle will experience due to the additional miles.  Basically, the amount of the excess mileage charge is less than the amount of depreciation.  The same is basically true for excess wear and tear.  The amount you will have to invest to eliminate the excess wear and tear charges is normally less than the inspector?s assessment of those charges.   

Question:  Does purchasing a NEW Infiniti eliminate paying excess mileage and wear and tear fees?  

Answer:  No.  However, it does allow you to qualify for the $500 mileage and damage waiver amount.  But, you get this only if you buy within 120 days before and 30 days after your scheduled lease maturity date.  The acquisition of a new Nissan does NOT count, it must be an Infiniti.   

Conclusion:  Considering the above information and deciding what to do requires a little homework and careful consideration of all your options.  Remember, it's just as important to make the right decisions at the end of a lease as it was at the beginning.  Each situation is different and must be examined on its own merits. There is no standard answer that fits every case.  At Infiniti of South Atlanta, we can offer expert advice to assist you in deciding the best course of action.
