When your lease term ends, you have three main options: return the vehicle to the dealership (the typical route), purchase it if a buyout price is available, or lease or buy another car. If you return it, the leasing company inspects for excess mileage and damage, collects any overage fees, and handles the paperwork.

Many customers at Genesis of Downers Grove love returning their lease and stepping into a fresh new Genesis-it's the ultimate way to always drive under warranty with the latest technology. Others prefer to buy their leased vehicle if they've grown attached to it. Your finance team will explain all your options well before lease end and help you make the best choice for your situation.
