Lease Turn In
Hi,
How does the lease turn in process work when you are getting a new lease? I just received my letter and it states after the pre inspection I'll turn in my car and then get a letter with charges. Can I avoid this when I do a new lease? I realize I probably still have to do the pre-inspection. Ideally I want all "charges" to be known and handled in my new lease. I do not want to make a deal on a lease, then turn in my car, and get some surprise bill after all is said and done.
Also can you share your experiences with the third party inspector? My car is in good condition. A few scratches to the metal on the front bumper but nothing too big (the size of a pencil eraser).
Thank you!

if you go to a MB dealer it is a relatively straight forward process, once you get your new lease signed and the new car is in wash and stuff just do the DMV papers online after you take
your new car in. When i turned in my W212 last year they didnt do anything, but i am in CA and i dont know where you are so it could vary. if you are in CA i can suggest where you can take it to

Thank you! I heard they started using a mandatory third party inspector called AutoVIN some time last year. The last thing I want is to seal the deal on my lease and get a separate bill in the mail after I turn in the car. Per the letter I got that's what would happen. However, they don't specify how the process would be different if you get into a new lease. 🤷🏻*♀️

Apologies for late response, Hmm i dont know? i mean it just depends, i would search the MB dealers in your area as to where you wanna turn it in. You dont have to turn it in at the dealer you get your new lease at rather if you have time left on your lease, do some yelp research or look at reviews for the best place to turn in your lease without any questions asked.

My inspection is done, but I'm still waiting for my GLC 300. It's on order, produced, but awaiting shipment from Germany, Hoping it doesn't take too long. 😕

Customers will be charged wear and tear on a separate bill from MBFS. - When trading in payments are waived (if you have any remaining) and Disposition fee. You are responsible for any damage or wear and tear to tires.

I'm returning my 2016 C300 sedan and leasing a 2019 C43 Cabriolet. Just got my AutoVIN pre-inspection report which says I'm going to owe $690 for damage and two new tires. I got paperwork from MBFS indicating they waive up to $500 in damages if you lease another MBenz. Deal doesn't seem to / is claiming not to know anything about that. Anyone know if that's standard practice and if there's anything I need to do to claim the "loyalty credit"? Maybe that ends up being between me and MBFS and not with the dealer directly?
