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 Frankfort.

What Is a Ford Credit Lease-End Inspection?

A Ford Credit lease-end inspection reviews the overall condition of your Ford before it's returned. Ford Credit arranges this through Alliance Inspection Management (AiM), an independent third-party inspection company, and appointments can typically happen 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

A leased vehicle is expected to show some wear, and Ford Credit's Wear and Use Guide spells out what counts as 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 are treated as 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 helps 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 Frankfort. 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?

Ford Lease Return FAQs

Can I turn in my Ford lease before the official end date? +
You can, but ending a lease ahead of schedule typically comes with early termination liability under your lease agreement. Talk to our Finance Department or Ford Credit first so you understand the actual cost before deciding.
What if my lease-end paperwork isn't wrapped up by my lease-end date? +
Your Red Carpet Lease Agreement is designed to be completed by that date, and going past it can bring on additional charges. If your date is close and you haven't settled on an option, reach out to our Finance Department so we can help you get ahead of it.
What happens if repairs aren't finished before my inspection appointment? +
Your appointment can still go ahead as planned. Anything left unresolved from your inspection will simply show up on your final invoice instead. Our Finance Department can help you weigh whether a repair is worth handling yourself versus paying the assessed charge.
If I purchase my Ford instead of returning it, do I still owe mileage and wear charges? +
No. Excess mileage and excess wear and use charges apply only to returned vehicles. If you purchase your Ford instead, you're keeping it, so neither charge comes into play.
Does the Disposition Fee waiver extend to a certified pre-owned Ford or Lincoln, not just a new one? +
In many cases, yes. Ford Credit's waiver terms can extend to a Ford Blue Advantage certified pre-owned vehicle or a Lincoln Certified Pre-Owned vehicle, not just a brand-new one. Ask our Finance Department to confirm how this applies to your specific lease.
Who do I contact about my account after my final lease payment? +
Our Finance Department can help, or you can contact Ford Credit's customer support team directly for anything specific to your account or final invoice.
Can I sell my leased Ford directly to a company like CarMax or Carvana? +
Generally, no. Ford Credit doesn't typically allow leased vehicles 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. Confirm current policy with our Finance Department 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 is complete. 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.
Does returning my leased Ford affect my Kentucky vehicle property tax? +
It can. Kentucky license plates stay with you rather than the vehicle, but Kentucky is one of the states where lease customers need to show proof that their plate has been transferred or canceled after a return, or they can keep being assessed property tax on a vehicle they no longer have. Your county clerk's office can walk you through the paperwork.
