I was curious to know for those of you who have had leases before the new IS what do they really look for when you turn the car in and or make deductions or fees for?

They look under the car,interior,paint, etc?

PS- By turning in the car I mean at the dealer of purchase at the "END" of your lease, not because your trading it to buy a new car.

Thanks

 

It depends on which bank you lease through. Lexus Financial is the best because there's no turn in fee and they are the most lenient in terms of wear and tear.
I've found some other banks to "nickel and dime" every little scratch and they all charge a turn in fee ranging from $200 to $500.

Basically it goes with common sense. Look at it as though you are selling your car to someone. Little scratches around the car and a few rock chips? No big deal.
Car's been keyed, you have a cracked windshield, and your tires are bald? You'll get charged.

Most people take pretty good care of there cars so I wouldn't stress about getting a lease. I've leased 3 Lexus' and I have never been charged for anything.

Good luck.
