Is it a lease or a loan?? On a lease you need to return it to the place you leased it from. They'll inspect it TO DEATH and charge you for any over use or damage. This includes nicks, dents, mileage, and tires. Usually the dealer has a lease-to-own program in which case, you can buy out the remaining value of the car. This isn't a bad idea if you like the car and you've taken good care of it.

If it's an auto loan, then after your last payment, you own it. You can do whatever the hell you want with it.

 

I've had very fair assessments after leases. they've been fair with regular wear and tear and nicks. is your mileage over?
