Return Your Cadillac Lease

You can return your leased vehicle to any Cadillac dealership, no matter where you leased it from originally.

Should you wish to end your lease before its scheduled termination, you are able to buy or lease anytime, or you can trade-in your vehicle whenever you want. If you need to turn your vehicle in ahead of time, you will simply be responsible for any remaining payments on your lease.

Deciding to buy out your lease could be a great choice depending on what you're looking for. It is best to compare with your alternative lease-end possibilities to be sure that you are making the right choice. Typically, the end-of-lease buy out price will simply be any residual value within your lease contract; it's up to you to determine whether or not the residual value is a reasonable price for you to pay. It's important to consider whether or not you would pay that price to get a different used vehicle of a similar mileage and features. If you're undecided, feel free to call us any time at 510-686-8969 to speak with a leasing specialist.

When you're ready to turn in your lease, your vehicle needs to be examined by a certified agent. Once this has been done, turning in your lease will just require completing some paperwork for the leased vehicle.

It's encouraged that you have your car inspected within the final two months of your lease. This will make sure that you have plenty of time to schedule required maintenance or repairs on the vehicle.

Only authorized agents can complete end-of-lease inspections, but if you're able to return your vehicle to Fremont Cadillac at the conclusion of your lease, we will contact an authorized agent who can perform the inspection.

The inspection of the car should take around an hour, unless there's an excess quantity of problems with your vehicle.

While it's not a necessity that you be present for the inspection of your vehicle, we do highly recommend it. If you are at the vehicle inspection, you are able to better understand the assessment results, as well as any charges that might apply. In addition to this, you will need to sign off on the vehicle review that the inspector produces; you will also be given a copy of the report at this time.
