For many individuals, leasing a Honda vehicle from Hamel Honda provides flexibility and convenience. However, as the end of the lease term approaches, you might wonder about the next steps. In this article, we aim to provide a clear overview of the options available to you upon lease maturity, ensuring you make an informed decision that best suits your needs.
- Return Your Honda and Lease a New One:
If you've enjoyed the experience of driving a newer model and appreciate the benefits of leasing, you might consider returning your current Honda at the end of its lease and entering a new lease agreement. Before doing so:
- Schedule a pre-return inspection: This helps identify any wear and tear or excess mileage that might result in charges. Knowing this in advance can help you prepare.
- Review new models: Take some time to explore the latest Honda models at Hamel Honda. This will give you an idea of any technological advancements or features you might want in your next vehicle.
- Purchase Your Leased Honda:
If you've grown attached to your leased Honda and can't imagine parting with it, you have the option to buy it.
- Check the residual value: Your lease agreement specifies the car's residual value, which is what you'd pay to purchase it at the end of the lease.
- Financing: If you choose to buy, Hamel Honda can assist with financing options to help you transition from lessee to owner.
- Return Your Honda and Walk Away:
If you decide that you no longer need a vehicle or you're thinking about switching to a non-Honda brand, you can simply return your leased Honda to Hamel Honda.
- Pre-return inspection: As with option one, you'll want to schedule a pre-return inspection to identify potential charges for any excessive wear or mileage.
- Return guidelines: Make sure to return the vehicle with all original equipment, like extra keys or owner's manuals, to avoid additional fees.
- Extend Your Current Lease:
In certain situations, Hamel Honda may offer lease extensions. This can be beneficial if you're waiting for a particular new model to become available or if you need more time to decide on your next step.
