End of Lease Return Center
Bellevue Honda is the place to come and discuss all your lease return concerns. Whether your car was leased here or elsewhere, we simplify your next step.
Is Your Lease Ending Soon?
When your lease is at the end of its term, there are a few things to keep in mind as you prepare for what's next. Our experienced sales professionals at our lease return center will help make the process easy for you.
- Would you like out of your current lease?
- Ready to upgrade to a new model?
- Looking to purchase your leased car?
- Want to lower your payments and get a great new car?
- Over your miles or have major or minor damage to your vehicle?
- Bellevue Honda can alleviate all your concerns with a little bit of information from you.
We'll be in touch with you as the end of your lease approaches. Our associates send out letters prior to the end of your lease. The letters outline your options (see below) and include a wear-and-use guidebook. Of course we would like for you to lease or buy a new Honda car, however, you have three (3) options once you fulfill your lease obligations.
View Information On Your Next Steps/Options
Whether you are looking to lease or finance your new car, a tour of our website is a great start. We have many specials and programs to choose from, and we will be happy to arrange a test drive and discuss your lease-end plans further. During the time of your lease term, we can arrange for a vehicle pre-inspection to help you evaluate any possible wear and tear related charges. We will also arrange for a free professional appraisal on your current leased car to see if this is the right time to end your lease and get you into a new Honda.
Owner Loyalty Offers
As Honda is among the top best resale value of any brand, we will work to lease you a new vehicle for close to the same payment you are paying now with no early termination penalty.
Keep Your Honda Vehicle
If you purchase your car, you can avoid excess mileage, wear, and use charges. You will not be responsible for any costs other than the predetermined purchase option price and the incidental charges stated in your Honda lease contract or required by law. These may include sales tax, vehicle registration, a purchase option fee, etc. Certain state and local laws may require you to pay a smog or safety inspection fee, etc. Customers can either write a check for the balance, or finance the remaining balance on their lease. In some cases, we may be able to process your car in the same manner as a potential Honda certified used car. This gives you all the benefits and warranty coverage of a true certified vehicle. If you are interested in purchasing your leased car and keeping it, give our sales department a call (425) 373-5235.
Return Your Honda
If you decide to return your Honda, we'll make the process as easy as possible. Please contact us before the lease maturity date and we’ll help you complete the following steps:- Inspecting Your Vehicle: You will need to schedule your free end-of-lease vehicle inspection through the SGS National Customer Service Center at 1-800-340-4080 (Monday – Friday, 8am – 9pm ET). Please have your Honda Financial Services account number and VIN available. This inspection should be completed in the last two months of your lease agreement. That way, you’ll have time to take care of any repairs yourself. Or, if you choose to have Honda make the repairs, you’ll understand exactly what you are being billed for. The inspection is free and the inspector will travel to a location convenient to you, including Honda Auto Center of Bellevue. We are happy to assist you with any questions you have in regard to this process.
- Filing Your Federal Statements: You’ll need to complete a Federal Odometer/Lease Termination Statement for our records.
- Confirming the Vehicle Condition Report: Review, sign, and date the vehicle condition report verifying that the current condition of the car matches the original inspection findings.
If you choose not to buy or lease a new Honda or you did not previously lease your Honda from us, we need your vehicle for our Used Car Department and can help make ending your lease easy and hassle-free. Honda has the best resale value of any brand, and we may want to buy your vehicle and pay off your lease with no early termination fees. If you have any questions, please call us.
