I returned my 07 GS 350 this past Saturday and drove off with a 2010 ES 350. Since I only had 15,000 miles they told me they will purchase the car for resale. It looked like brand new, except for all kinds of wheel rashes and one small ding. No one said anything about that...

 

good to know

 

I've had several Lexus vehicles on lease over the years and have only had one problem turning one in...I traded an 02 RX300 for an 04 RX330 and they gave me great $$ for the RX300 but when I was moving from CO to FL and wanted to trade the RX330 for an IS or GS they offered crap $$ for the RX330. I brought it down to FL and was able to get MORE $$ from an Audi dealer in FL than I could from Lexus in CO which made no sense to me. I figured 4wd in CO would be top dollar and down in FL not so much. Go figure...

 

if they are lease, don't you just return the cars? you ended up buying out the lease and then sold the car to dealers?

 

I'm also returning my car here soon...
And, two things bothers me the most were... lowering spring and not having tire pressure sensors on my wheels.
Am I going to be charged for not having tire pressure sensors on aftermarket wheels??

 

you are returning your leased car with aftermarket wheels and springs on the car?!

 

Sorry I called it aftermaket but it's still Lexus OEM wheels...
But, Eibach springs will stay on my car... Why? should I switch back to stock springs?

 

i would definitely go everything back to stock

springs - if you return as is, for sure you won't get any extra money. and they can ding you for not having original springs. if you don't want to pay to remove them, and don't care about getting extra money, i am sure you can offer in classified for someone to pay to swap out to stock and people will jump in. imho, you can pretty much sell the springs and pocket some

wheels - so you have different oem wheels i guess. does that mean you had stock 17s and changed to some oem 18s? again i am sure some people will be more than happy to swap with you plus some money. you don't have original stock wheels with tpms anymore? if you return the car with the tps light on, i think it's pretty easy for them to charge you for sensors

 

Thanks.
I guess I should go back to stock to be safe. For Less head ache after...

 

yup, that's why all my cars, they go back to stock before they are returned
