Important Lease-End / Lease Renewal Information
When a lease expires, you simply turn your vehicle in and pay off any remaining fees (such as for excess mileage or wear and tear) and taxes. If you'd prefer not to part with your Infiniti at lease-end, you can also take the opportunity to purchase it at a predetermined price. In either case, there's no need for you to sell it or trade it in. Contact Josh Bentley at 706-210-6345 for lease renewal or end of lease questions.
At the normal end of a lease, you have the following options:
- Re-lease a NEW Infiniti vehicle
- Purchase your current Infiniti lease vehicle
- Trade your current Infiniti for another NEW Infiniti model
- Return your vehicle to Taylor Infiniti and walk away
Be careful of your lease-end decision
Don't make a quick decision as to which lease-end option you'll take. For example, if you simply return your vehicle to Infiniti without doing your homework, you may be handing them built-in value that belongs to you. The market value is often higher than the end of lease value stated on your contract.
You need honest answers to several questions before making your decision:
- What should you do if you have exceeded your mileage limits or have some minor damage to your vehicle?
- Is it best to return, or to purchase?
- When is it advisable to use your leased vehicle as a trade-in?
- If you trade, do you still have to pay for excess mileage and wear-and-tear?
- Does purchasing a NEW Infiniti void paying mileage and damage fees?
Answering these questions and deciding what to do requires a little homework and careful consideration of all your options presented by a qualified lease professional. Remember, it's just as important to make the right decisions at the end of a lease as it was at the beginning. Each situation is different and must be examined on its own merits. There is no standard answer that fits every case.
We can offer expert advice to help you in the right decision that fits your situation. Let’s look at the options.
Lease a comparable vehicle or new model
The Infiniti vehicle lineup has never been stronger with new models that offer outstanding lease values.

You may be pre-approved.
Infiniti Financial Services may have pre-approved you for a NEW Infiniti lease or retail finance. When you purchase or lease a new Infiniti from Taylor Infiniti, you may qualify for waiver of security deposit and up to $500 of excess wear and tear/excess mileage charge on your current lease.

Trade your lease vehicle
Use the built-in value of your current lease vehicle as a trade for a new Infiniti model. Trading eliminates the mandatory lease-end inspection and excess mileage/wear and tear monies due. Loyalty cash for current Infiniti owners towards the lease of a New model may be available. To qualify, you must provide current registration of the Infiniti vehicle that you intend to trade. We have an online appraisal page to give you an estimate of trade value.
Buy your current vehicle
If you simply can't bear to part with your Infiniti vehicle at the end of the lease term, you can exercise your purchase option and buy the vehicle AS-IS from Taylor Infiniti and include an Infiniti Extended Service Plan at that time.
You pay the lease end value as listed on your vehicle lease contract plus a small purchase option fee, sales tax and a tag/title transfer.
We may be able to assist you in financing.
