Many Ford drivers across Murfreesboro, Smyrna, La Vergne, and Rutherford County start thinking about lease end a few months before their contract matures. Ford of Murfreesboro helps you sort through the process so you can decide on the path that fits your plans.
Quick Answer: When your Ford Credit lease ends, you can return the vehicle, purchase it, or move into a new Ford. Ford of Murfreesboro supports all three options for Middle Tennessee customers.
What You Can Do at the End of Your Ford Lease

How the Ford Credit Lease-End Inspection Works
Ford Credit recommends starting with the Wear and Use self-assessment. Once that is done, you can schedule a pre-inspection within 60 days of your lease-end date. The report helps you decide if any repairs make sense before turn-in.
