What Happens at the End of Your Subaru Lease?

Reaching the end of your Subaru lease can feel both exciting and uncertain. You’ve enjoyed years of adventures in a vehicle that’s been a reliable companion through South Florida commutes, weekend beach trips, and family outings. Now, as your lease term wraps up, you might be wondering what happens next.

At North Fort Lauderdale Subaru, our goal is to make your lease-end experience as simple and stress-free as possible. Whether you decide to return your vehicle, purchase it, or upgrade to a new Subaru, we’re here to guide you through every step.

The End of Your Subaru Lease — What to Expect

As your lease term approaches its final months, you’ll have a few important decisions to make. Subaru Financial Services typically sends reminders to help you prepare, but it’s always best to start planning early.

There are three main options available to you once your lease ends:

• Return your Subaru and explore new models.
• Purchase your leased Subaru and keep driving the car you already know.
• Start a new lease on a different Subaru model with the latest features.

North Fort Lauderdale Subaru’s Lease-End Specialists can walk you through these choices, review your vehicle’s condition, and help you decide which path fits your lifestyle.

Option 1 — Return Your Subaru

If you’ve decided to return your Subaru at the end of your lease, North Fort Lauderdale Subaru makes the process easy. The first step is scheduling a pre-return inspection. This inspection checks for things like tire condition, mileage, and any excessive wear or damage. The goal is simply to ensure everything is documented before you hand back the keys.

Here’s what you can expect when returning your leased Subaru:

• Schedule your pre-return inspection a few weeks before your lease expires.
• Remove personal belongings, clean your vehicle, and return all accessories such as keys, manuals, and cargo covers.
• Visit North Fort Lauderdale Subaru to complete the final return process and paperwork.

Many customers choose this option when they’re ready to upgrade to a newer Subaru or explore different vehicle styles.

Option 2 — Buy Your Leased Subaru

If you’ve grown attached to your Subaru, buying out your lease may be the perfect choice. You already know how your vehicle drives and how well it’s been maintained, and you won’t have to start from scratch searching for another car.

Benefits of purchasing your leased Subaru include:

• Familiarity with the vehicle’s history and maintenance.
• Potential equity from strong Subaru resale values.
• Avoiding potential lease-end charges for excess mileage or wear.
• Straightforward transition into ownership with help from the dealership’s finance team.

The finance team at North Fort Lauderdale Subaru can explain your purchase options and help arrange convenient financing. To learn more or begin your lease buyout, visit the Finance Center.

Option 3 — Lease or Upgrade to a New Subaru

For many drivers in Fort Lauderdale, leasing a new Subaru every few years is an ideal way to stay up to date with technology and safety advancements. If you enjoy having access to the newest features without a long-term commitment, starting a new lease could be the best route.

When your current lease ends, you can transition into another Subaru model with help from our team. Explore current options anytime in our New Subaru Inventory.
