Infiniti of Tampa

Important Lease-End / Lease Renewal Information

At the normal end of a lease, you own the following options:

• Re-lease a NEW Infiniti vehicle
• Purchase your current Infiniti lease vehicle
• Trade your current Infiniti for another NEW Infiniti model
• Return your vehicle to Infiniti of Tampa & walk away

Be careful of your lease-end decision:
Don't make a quick decision as to which lease-end option you'll take. For example, if you simply return your vehicle to Infiniti without doing your homework, you may be handing them built-in value that belongs to you. (The market value is often higher than the end of lease value stated on your contract.)

• But what if you have exceeded your mileage limits or have some minor damage to your vehicle?
• Is it best to return, or to purchase?
• When is it advisable to use your leased vehicle as a trade-in?
• If you trade, do you still have to pay for excess mileage and wear-and-tear?
• Does purchasing a NEW Infiniti void paying mileage and damage fees?

Answering the above questions and deciding what to do requires a little homework, careful consideration of all your options, presented by a qualified lease professional. 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.
