Navigating Your Platinum Mitsubishi Lease Return: A Comprehensive Guide for Canadian Drivers
As your Platinum Mitsubishi lease approaches its conclusion, it's essential to understand your options and the steps involved in the lease return process. Whether you're considering leasing a new Mitsubishi, purchasing your current vehicle, or simply returning it, this guide will walk you through the process, ensuring a smooth and informed transition.
Understanding Your Lease-End Options
Mitsubishi Canada offers three primary options at the end of your lease:
If you're interested in continuing your journey with Mitsubishi, you can return your current vehicle and lease or finance a new model. As a valued customer, you may qualify for loyalty incentives, such as at least $500 off the lease or purchase price for eligible customers. Remember, a vehicle inspection is part of this process to assess any wear and tear.
2. Purchase Your Current Mitsubishi
If you've grown attached to your vehicle, purchasing it at the end of your lease is a straightforward option. Contact us to discuss the purchase price and financing options.
Should you decide not to lease or purchase another Mitsubishi, you can return your vehicle at the end of the lease term. A vehicle inspection will be conducted to identify any excess wear and tear.
The Vehicle Inspection Process
Approximately 60 days before your lease ends, you'll be contacted to schedule a complimentary vehicle inspection. This inspection assesses any excess wear and tear, such as dents, scratches, or interior damage. It's essential to address any issues identified during this inspection to avoid additional charges.
Diamond Care Wear/Appearance Protection
If you purchased Diamond Care Wear or Appearance Protection at the beginning of your lease, familiarize yourself with the coverage details. This protection plan may cover certain chargeable items, but it's crucial to complete any necessary repairs before returning the vehicle, as coverage expires at the end of the lease term.
Tips to Ensure a Smooth Lease Return
- Schedule the Inspection Early: Allow ample time to address any issues identified during the inspection.
- Review Your Lease Agreement: Understand the terms and conditions, including mileage limits and wear-and-tear guidelines.
- Gather All Vehicle Items: Ensure you have all keys, manuals, and accessories that came with the vehicle.
- Consult Your Dealer: Reach out to your Platinum Mitsubishi dealer for guidance and to explore your lease-end options.
