Quick Answer: A Ford Credit lease-end inspection reviews your vehicle's exterior, interior, tires, mileage, and equipment before turn-in. It's performed by Alliance Inspection Management (AiM) and can typically take place at your home, your office, or Gary Yeomans Ford Ocala.

What Is a Ford Credit Lease-End Inspection?

A Ford Credit lease-end inspection looks at your Ford's condition before it's returned. Ford Credit arranges this through Alliance Inspection Management (AiM), an independent third-party inspection company, and appointments can typically take place at your home, your office, or a local Ford dealership.

Complete the Wear and Use Evaluator Card self-assessment first, then schedule your complimentary inspection within about 60 days of your lease-end date. Scheduling early gives you more time to review your results and take care of any repairs before turn-in.

Understanding Wear and Use Guidelines

Some wear is expected on a leased vehicle, and Ford Credit's Wear and Use Guide outlines what's considered normal versus excessive. Generally, up to three dings, dents, or scratches per panel under 4 inches count as normal wear, along with wheel scratches under 6 inches, while all glass damage and tires that aren't an appropriate match for the vehicle fall under excess wear and use. If you purchased WearCare, it can waive qualifying excess wear and use charges up to $5,000 in most cases. See your WearCare Addendum for exclusions specific to your plan.

After Your Inspection: Repairs, Reports, and Your Final Invoice

If your inspection turns up repair needs, our Ford-trained technicians use Original Equipment Manufacturer parts, and it's worth holding onto your repair receipts to verify completed work at turn-in. Some damage may also be covered under your own vehicle insurance, so give any claims time to process before your return.

At turn-in, you'll sign an Odometer Statement as required by federal law, confirming your vehicle's mileage. If your lease agreement discloses a Disposition Fee, it applies to returned vehicles, though it may be waived if you move into a new Ford or Lincoln lease or purchase.

How to Prepare for Your Ford Lease Turn-In

Ahead of your lease-end inspection, it's a good idea to walk around your Ford and check for anything that might need attention.

  • Exterior dents, scratches, or paint damage
  • Windshield chips or cracked glass
  • Tire tread depth and overall tire condition
  • Wheel or rim damage
  • Interior stains, tears, or excessive wear
  • Mileage compared to your Red Carpet Lease Agreement, which can result in an excess mileage charge if you're over your allotted miles
  • Missing keys, head restraints, spare tire, or owner's manual
  • Charging equipment, if you're returning a Mustang Mach-E or F-150 Lightning

Quick Answer: Bring all keys, head restraints, your spare tire, and your owner's manual to your Ford lease return appointment at Gary Yeomans Ford Ocala. If you're returning a Mustang Mach-E or F-150 Lightning, bring the charge cord as well.

Why Start the Lease Return Process Early?

Quick Answer: Starting early also gives our team time to walk you through the Gary Yeomans Lifetime Warranty program and Ford Blue Advantage certified pre-owned inspection, in case a certified pre-owned Ford turns out to be the better fit.

Ford Lease Return FAQs

Can I end my Ford lease ahead of the official date? +
You're able to, but ending a lease early usually comes with termination liability spelled out in your lease agreement. Talk with our Finance Department or Ford Credit ahead of time so you understand the real cost before deciding.
What happens if my lease-end paperwork isn't done by my lease-end date? +
Your Red Carpet Lease Agreement is meant to be settled by that date, and letting it slide can bring on extra charges. If your date is approaching and you're still weighing your options, reach out to our Finance Department so we can help you get it sorted.
What if I can't get repairs done before my inspection appointment? +
You can keep your appointment either way. Anything left unresolved will just appear on your final invoice instead. Our Finance Department can help you weigh handling a repair yourself against paying the assessed charge.
Does purchasing my Ford instead of returning it get me out of mileage and wear charges? +
Yes. Excess mileage and excess wear and use charges only come into play when a vehicle is returned. If you purchase your Ford instead, you're keeping it, so neither charge applies.
Does the Disposition Fee waiver apply to a certified pre-owned Ford or Lincoln, or only new ones? +
In many cases it does. Ford Credit's waiver terms can extend to a Ford Blue Advantage certified pre-owned vehicle or a Lincoln Certified Pre-Owned vehicle, in addition to a brand-new one. Our Finance Department can confirm how this applies to your particular lease.
Who handles questions about my account after my final lease payment? +
Our Finance Department can help, or you can go straight to Ford Credit's customer support team for anything specific to your account or final invoice.
Can I sell my leased Ford directly to a company like CarMax or Carvana? +
Usually not. Ford Credit generally doesn't allow a leased vehicle to be sold directly to a third-party buyer at lease end. Your realistic options are purchasing it yourself, returning it to a participating Ford dealer, or moving into a new lease. Our Finance Department can confirm current policy if you're exploring this.
Can my Ford lease be transferred to someone else? +
In some cases, yes, and the original lessee is generally released from the lease once a transfer goes through. Whether it's available to you depends on where you are in your lease term, so check with our Finance Department or Ford Credit to see if it's an option.
Will I need to turn in my Florida license plate when I return my lease? +
If it won't transfer straight onto a replacement vehicle, Florida requires the plate to be turned in at a local tax collector's office or FLHSMV service center to avoid a registration or license suspension. If you're moving right into a new Ford lease with us, ask our team whether your plate can transfer instead.
