Lease End Options near Arlington Heights, IL

Are you in the middle of a lease, and want to know what your end-of-contract options are? Our team at Gillespie Ford put together a brief guide of the various paths you can go down, so peruse this overview and then contact us to tell us which route you’d like to take!
Why Lease?
If you have never leased before and want to know why so many modern drivers take this route, allow us to explain. Not only does leasing come with low monthly payments solely based on the depreciation of a vehicle instead of its whole sticker price, but it has a smaller term length than financing. Instead of committing for four to seven years as you would with a financing agreement, you only have to sign a contract for two to four years. Additionally, this path comes with manufacturer warranties on service and can be used in conjunction with our fantastic incentives to save you even more money. Last but not least, you don’t have to worry about trading or selling at the end of your contract—you can just take one of the following routes.
Continue Leasing by Renewing or Upgrading
If you liked leasing and want to continue doing so, you have two possible options. First, you may renew your agreement for the vehicle currently in your possession, so that nothing changes and the status quo remains. Alternatively, you can upgrade! This is the recommended choice if you are someone who wants to be at the helm of the latest models with the most modern technology on the market. You can simply swap out your current set of wheels for one of the newest Ford models from our lot, and our team will update your contract’s mileage and payment amounts accordingly. That way, you can keep on borrowing, stress free.
Switch to Financing or Walk Away
Your next few options stray away from leasing. If you fell in love with the vehicle that you took home at first and want to make it yours for good, switch over to financing. Since you will have already paid off its depreciation, we can just take the residual value and split it up into monthly installments so that you can achieve ownership in no time. Finally, as sad as we would be to see you go, you do have the choice to simply end your lease and walk away. Keep in mind that early termination or going over your mileage limit can cost you extra. However, if neither of these things occur, then we can let you go after a final inspection of your model’s condition and odometer. If you ever want to return and do business with us again, we’d be happy to welcome you back.
When it comes to your lease end options near Arlington Heights, IL, each path has its own benefits! Make sure to let our team at Gillespie Ford know if you have any questions. We look forward to assisting you!
