Turn-in and Payoff Process
Vehicle Condition Standards
-
Normal wear and tear is fine. If there’s damage or excess wear and tear, per our Wear and Tear Guidelines, the buyback amount will be reduced by the cost of the repair.
If the vehicle has an accident on its history report, the buyback amount may be adjusted for diminished value, just like any trade-in. Only in rare cases of severe damage that make the car unsafe or unsellable would buyback eligibility be denied.
-
There are no mileage caps. The buyback amount will be reduced by $0.15 for every mile over either your (a) prorated lease allowance, or (b) 18,000 miles per year (1,500 per month) for financed vehicles.
Lease Example:
If you lease your car and get 12,000 miles per year and turn it in at month 18 with 20,000 miles on it, you’re responsible for a $300 mileage adjustment (2,000 miles × $0.15 = $300.Finance Example:
If you finance your car and turn it in at month 18 with 28,000 miles, you’re responsible for a $150 mileage adjustment. At 18 months, the mileage allowance is 27,000 miles (1,500 per month), so you would be 1,000 miles over (1,000 × $0.15 = $150). -
Normal wear and tear is fine. If there’s damage or excess wear and tear, per our Wear and Tear Guidelines, the buyback amount will be reduced by the cost of the repair. This reduction is the customer’s responsibility at turn-in.
If the vehicle has an accident on the history report (e.g., CarFax), it still qualifies for buyback. In those cases, we may apply a diminished-value adjustment based on standard guides.
-
Yes, as long as those modifications can be reversed by you at turn-in. Adding window tint is perfectly fine. Simple accessories are fine, but vehicle modifications that can’t be reversed or that hurt resale value void buyback eligibility.
