Always bought in the past, never turned-in a lease, lease ends in three months and I have some questions, unfortunately.

My wheels are in bad shape; curb rash and bends. If I don’t repair prior to turn-in, anyone know I’ll be charged the cost of new wheels or to refurbish my current ones, and if to refurbish, am I looking at the $80-120 range that wheel repair shops charge or will I be charged more just because? Anyone have suggestions on how to handle damage upon lease-end?

Also, if I go with another make and I’m looking to transfer registration to the new car, do I bring my car to the new dealer or must I bring it to the original dealer for turn-in? I’m trying to work deals with ‘conquest cash’, where the new dealer will cover my remaining lease payments…

My apologies for the novice questions.

Thank you very much.

 

Any input anyone?

Thanks.

 

As for the wheels, I would have them fixed before turning in the car. It will almost never be cheaper to leave up to the dealer/Lexus to fix.

I am not sure about the conquest cash. I don't have an answer for you on that one.

 

Thank you.
