90-60 Days Before Lease End: Review Your Options
Start preparing about 90 days before your scheduled maturity date. Review your lease agreement for the maturity date, contracted mileage allowance, purchase option and potential fees. This is also the time to consider what you want to do with your Grand Cherokee:
- Return the Grand Cherokee
- Purchase your leased Grand Cherokee
- Explore another Jeep
At about 60 days out, check your odometer against your contracted mileage allowance and inspect the vehicle for potential excess wear. Look at the exterior, windshield, wheels and tires, upholstery, carpeting and other equipment. Identifying issues early gives you more time to decide whether repairs are worthwhile.
What to Do 30 Days Before My Lease Ends?
About a month before maturity, arrange your lease-end inspection and address any repairs you decide to make. Chrysler Capital offers a pre-inspection at no charge, allowing you to identify potential excess-wear issues before the vehicle is returned.
The inspection can evaluate the Grand Cherokee's:
- Exterior panels, bumpers, glass and lights
- Interior surfaces, upholstery and carpeting
- Wheels and tires
- Mechanical and electrical components
- Factory equipment and accessories
Normal wear is generally expected, while significant damage, excessive tire wear, missing equipment or inadequate maintenance can potentially result in additional charges. Potential lease-end costs may include excess mileage, excess wear, a disposition fee and other amounts specified in your contract.
At Lease-End: Choose Your Next Step
When your lease reaches its scheduled maturity date, you'll complete the option you've chosen.
Return your Grand Cherokee: Follow the return instructions associated with your lease. Any applicable excess-mileage, excess-wear, disposition or other charges will be handled according to your agreement.
Purchase your Grand Cherokee: If your lease includes a purchase option, you can purchase the vehicle for the amount specified in your agreement, plus applicable fees, taxes and other charges.
Get another Jeep: If you're ready for something new, our team can help you explore another Jeep and plan the transition from your current Grand Cherokee.
Starting the process about 90 days before maturity gives you time to review your contract, evaluate your vehicle, complete an inspection and make an informed decision about what's next.
