Lease-End Damage Assistance
Howdy all!
I need to turn in my lease, but have the damage pictured.
Bumper damage is not too obvious, but definitely there.
Credit card test covers it, but will I be charged for same? Going to touch up with touch up paint.
Credit card test also covers cracked grille, but I’lldefinitely be charged for same, correct (although, would be great if not)?
And how about the scratched hood, any issue with this; passes credit card test?
Thanks so much!

I recently leased another IS after Lexus gave me a great offer. My 2015 IS had a hit in the front almost like yours because someone backed into me. I also had some other dents and such and they didn't say anything.

Thanks for your input!
Yes, not sure how this got here.
Otherwise, also concerned because I'm not leasing another Lexus. :|
Have to figure out how to smoothen it out and then touch up.
Picked up touch up paint today.

Hi guys, got an email about this... been absolutely swamped at the dealership and haven't been watching the boards the past week or so,
None of that is chargeable except MAYBE the grille. If so expect $100-150. LFS lease end EWT charges are way less than you'd normally pay to fix the problem ($15 for missing owners manual, $250 for smashed fender) EXCEPT FOR missing keys ($375) and ANY cuts in a tire sidewall ($250ish).

Oh, and don't bother with touch up paint.... waste of time and money. If you have chargeable damage either fix it professionally or pay the EWT charges, touch up paint won't solve the issue.

Anyone know if front license plate brackets must be returned with leases / will we be charged if we don't return same (mine is damaged).
Thanks. :|

Did you ask Acura if you'd be charged if the car was returned without the bracket?

I went on eBay to buy it and wanted for shipping . For sure price of it on eBay was much cheaper than what I got deducted for it. It really depends on the dealership honestly
