5 Steps For Your Ram 1500 Lease-End

This may sound too early at first, but the perfect time to start planning for the end of your Ram 1500 lease is actually 90 days before the end date! At this point, you'll have ample time to take your time and think about your decisions, which is just what you need. The main goal at the 90-day mark will be to research your various options, and decide which steps you might want to take at the end of your lease. This includes speaking with our sales team about our current inventory, or asking questions about what a lease buyout might entail. You can learn about the current vehicles on the market, and learn what new Ram 1500 models might have in store for you. By starting your research early, you can really sit with your decision, and make sure it's the right choice!

Roughly a month after you start your research phase, it will be time for the next steps in your Ram 1500 lease-end journey! At this point, we recommend conducting a self-inspection of your leased Ram. Chrysler Capital even provides a Wear Tool, which is simply a card that provides easy measurements to help you get a sense of any potential damage to your vehicle. For most leases, any nicks or scratches measuring less than 2 inches in length are considered "normal" wear and tear. Thoroughly inspect your vehicle both inside and out, looking for any dents, scratches, tears in the upholstery, stains in the floor mats, or other signs of wear. If you do see any damage that goes beyond that 2-inch guideline, be sure to make note of it so you can have it repaired before your lease ends.

At the 30-day mark, it's time to schedule your end-of-lease inspection! The self-inspection is a good place to start, but you'll also need to have your Ram 1500 professionally inspected in time to return it to the dealership. We here at Westborn Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram are always here to help you take care of your inspections, and handle any repairs you might need! At this point, you'll also want to revisit the research you did earlier, and make a decision about which option is best for you going forward. Down below, we'll be going over those various options in more detail to help you decide!

It's time to go over the choices you'll have at the end of your Ram 1500 lease! If you decide that you love the Ram 1500 you've been leasing, you can choose to buy out your lease, where you essentially pay off the remainder of your car's value, and eventually own it! This is a great option for anyone who has grown attached to the Ram 1500 truck they've been leasing. In fact, leasing can be an important part of the process in deciding which car is best for you. You will have been able to live with your leased Ram for several months, so you'll know exactly how it fits into your lifestyle. We here at Westborn Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram can help you with your lease buyout to ensure a smooth process.

If you're interested in leasing a different vehicle, we here at Westborn Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram can help you out with that too! In order to shop for a new vehicle, you'll want to make sure you properly return your leased Ram 1500. This includes fully clearing out the truck of all your personal belongings, and making sure that all the necessary paperwork is signed, and given to the dealership. From there, we can help you in your search for your next vehicle, whether it's a different Ram 1500 trim level, or a newer model from a more recent model year!
