Simple Steps to Take Before Your Lease Ends At Volkswagen of South Charlotte, our staff wants to assist you in making a smooth transition as you near the end of your lease.

Option 1: Turn In Your VW

Make your move into a new or Certified Pre-Loved VW by following these steps:

• Go to our inventory, explore your next model and schedule a test drive with us.
• Review your vehicle’s condition.
• Schedule your inspection.
• Turn in your vehicle to your VW of South Charlotte.

Option 2: Purchase Your VW

Not ready to let go of your current VW? No problem. Here’s what to do if you’d like to purchase your current vehicle:

• Contact VW of South Charlotte to receive a payoff quote and instructions for purchase.
• Consider our financing and Volkswagen Drive Easy extended coverage options.
• Follow the provided instructions to complete your purchase.

You can schedule your inspection by giving us a call. During your inspection we will evaluate your vehicle for any excess wear and use. Upon completion, you will receive an inspection condition report which itemizes any excess wear. Any excess wear will be billed on your Turn-In Settlement Invoice unless you choose to repair the items prior to turn-in.

If you have any excess wear charges, we highly recommend that you discuss the results with one of our helpful sales members and your insurance agent. Our sales team may have helpful suggestions for minimizing out of pocket expenses.

Make sure to ask your dealer if any of the repairs needed are covered under warranty.
