If your BMW lease will be coming to an end soon, it’s important not to wait until the last minute to prepare. If you’re not careful, you could get hit with some fees, but being proactive will allow you to avoid them. This guide from BMW of Catonsville will help you avoid fees in three areas.
Mileage
Do you know what your yearly mileage restriction is? If you aren’t sure, find your lease agreement. It’s possible that you are getting close to this number, which is why you may want to try to limit how much you drive until the lease expires. If you exceed the mileage limit, you will be charged an additional fee for every mile traveled beyond the limit.
Wear and Tear
Basic wear and tear can’t be avoided with a car, and our dealership knows to expect a certain amount of this. Regular wear may include worn-down tires and brake pads or perhaps a light bulb or fuse that has burned out. If, however, your car has damages like dents or scratches, or the upholstery is torn or stained, this would be considered excessive wear and tear, which will also come with a fee. You should consider getting these things fixed before turning your car in.
Customizations
Your lease agreement also forbids any customizations to your vehicle. This means if you did anything that dramatically changed the car – like put on performance tires, for example – you’ll need to remove the customizations.
