When I leased a BMW X3 years ago, I faced one unexpected challenge. I decided I wanted to buy it out at the end of the lease and was ok with the residual value specified in the lease terms. Even though I was buying the car I had been driving for 3 years, BMW needed me to drive to a service center for an inspection. There they found a number of minor issues that I needed to address first "to assure my car would be safe to sell". I was incredulous, since I was already driving the same supposedly unsafe car, and just wanted to buy it at the agreed value. That was the fourth BMW I owned (the first that was leased), and I said if they didn't waive the BS charges and just let me buy the car, they would lose a good customer for life. They didn't budge. I paid the repair charges, turned in the lease and won't ever buy another BMW.
My AT is only the second car I've leased - the incentives were too good to turn down. I hope the Lucid lease turn-in process is more friendly than BMW's.
