My GS350 Fsport lease will be up in 2 months. I sold the OEM wheels and will be turning it in with 20's and it has Super downs on it currently but I kept the stock springs. What should I expect? Should I put the stock springs back on?

I would put the springs back on and see if you have any OEM wheels for sale on Craigslist

I think Sevn86 is correct. You may also look into a pre-return inspection. BMW has them and I used this process on a lease return about two months ago. I did NOT have modded wheels/springs, but it was nice to have the pre-return inspection done to ensure no "surprises".

Hey, a quick Google search uncovered this:

Should you elect to return your vehicle at lease-end, you may be financially responsible for damage exceeding normal wear and use.

To help you avoid surprises, Lexus Financial Services offers a complimentary pre-inspection service allowing our customers to know the condition of their vehicle BEFORE lease-end.1

If you don't need the OEM springs for your lease return, please make me a deal on them. I've been looking for a set for my non-F Sport for a few weeks.

I just returned my wife's C300 after 3 year lease they were very casual about it and didn't make me pay for anything even though windshield was cracked and wheels had all the scuffs in the world, But as someone suggested pre lease return inspection is the best idea so you would know what you need to do about it. If they don't point it out just ignore.

If you sold the stock rims then yeah I guess you need to turn it in with the 20s lol

but I turned in my 2013 with the emblems and other chrome parts still plasti dipped and they didn't say anything

I thought the AWD springs were a different height than the 2WD units.

It's different from dealership to dealership. I know a member of vankulture turned in his Odyssey all modded out and got a new car they were fine with it. He even offered to take off all the mods but the dealership wanted it that way so IMO it truly just depends

TeamThrust

Yes... a pre-inspection may be a good idea before returning it and instead of having the dealer throw all these surprises at you. I mean being lowered and having 20" rims is not what you call "stock" anymore.. Just my 2cents

Did you turn it in then turn around and get another Mercedes? Dealers tend to look past a lot if you're re-upping.

Are you planning on getting another car that's NOT a Lexus? I know other dealers don't really care about it but Lexus might stick you with the bill.

Dallasguy1

I didn't they were giving me all kinda offers and buy out was 20500 but I don't think the car is worth that much after 45k hard lease miles lol.

'did you buy wheel/tire/paint protections? My mother paid 2k extra on her Bmw so she can return the car with bald tires, paint or dents imperfection smaller than 6 inches, scuffed up wheels.
Regarding the excess mileage with no charge, something else must be in play

Dallasguy1

I was paying 20$ per month for interior wear and tear that's it. Body , tires and paint was in clean condition. Only thing wrong was the windshield and the scuffed wheels.
