Dublin Cadillac Lease Return FAQ

As your present Cadillac lease nears the end, you may have questions about what you have to do before returning your Cadillac. The conclusion of a lease term requires you to have your vehicle inspected and returned to any Cadillac dealership. However, based on how you intend to complete the return, there could be different requirements. You have four basic options for ending your lease: buy the lease vehicle, lease another Cadillac, return your lease, or return your lease and buy another vehicle.

Do I need to return my leased Cadillac vehicle to Dublin Cadillac?

You can actually return your leased vehicle to any Cadillac dealership, no matter where you leased it from originally.

    What if I prefer to end my lease early?

    Should you wish to end your lease before its scheduled termination, you are able to buy or lease anytime, or you can trade-in your vehicle whenever you want. If you need to turn your vehicle in ahead of time, you will simply be responsible for any remaining payments on your lease.

      Should I buy my Cadillac at the end of lease?

      Deciding to buy out your lease could be a great choice depending on what you're looking for. It is best to compare with your alternative lease-end possibilities to be sure that you are making the right choice. Typically, the end-of-lease buy out price will simply be any residual value within your lease contract; it's up to you to determine whether or not the residual value is a reasonable price for you to pay. It's important to consider whether or not you would pay that price to get a different used vehicle of a similar mileage and features. If you're undecided, feel free to call us any time at (866) 620-6378 to speak with a leasing specialist.

        What is the method for returning my lease?

        When you're ready to turn in your lease, your vehicle needs to be examined by a certified agent. Once this has been done, turning in your lease will just require completing some paperwork for the leased vehicle.

          When should I have my vehicle inspected?

          It's encouraged that you have your car inspected within the final two months of your lease. This will make sure that you have plenty of time to schedule required maintenance or repairs on the vehicle.

            Why can't my dealer perform the vehicle inspection?

            Only authorized agents can complete end-of-lease inspections, but if you're able to return your vehicle to Dublin Cadillac at the conclusion of your lease, we will contact an authorized agent who can perform the inspection.

              How long will the inspection take?

              The inspection of the car should take around an hour, unless there's an excess quantity of problems with your vehicle.

                Do I need to be present through the end-of-lease inspection?

                While it's not a necessity that you be present for the inspection of your vehicle, we do highly recommend it. If you are at the vehicle inspection, you are able to better understand the assessment results, as well as any charges that might apply. In addition to this, you will need to sign off on the vehicle review that the inspector produces; you will also be given a copy of the report at this time.
