... Only leased once in my life, learned a lot from that experience. I still miss my Trooper, turned it in with upgraded stereo and speakers. It still looked and performed like brand new, I put less than 32,000 miles on it still had to pay for the full 36,000 miles I agreed to in the lease. I even put new tires on it the winter before lease end. It's hard not to grow attached to your vehicle, which is why I will never lease again.

Before you turn it in, make sure everything works, new or nearly new tires with no sign of wear is a plus, you will be charged if the tires are too worn, and you won't like their prices, have it detailed inside and out and make sure the carpet is clean and the mats look like new. make sure the glass is free of chips and cracks, you will be held responsible. Also make sure the fluids, belts, hoses, etc all look fresh and clean any residue of your tail pipe. Basically, any excesive wear and tear will be billed to you, so if you did like I did, and treated the leased vehicle like your own, you should have no problems at turn in.
