Lease return excess wear & tear

[L-Dude]

I have leased most of my life and my wife always buys. I have never, ever been charged any excessive wear or tear with any BMW or Mercedes, especially if I lease another one. Of course, I take great a care of my cars and at BMW/Mercedes usually the sales person would handle lease turn in, so super easy, at least at my dealerships.

This has been my experience as well with Audi and MB (and there was never a "turn-in" fee). This should be a cautionary tale to Lucid.

Let me hazard a GUESS why, @DBV and @L-Dude. Both Volkswagen Grupe and Mercedes are huge long standing companies. Both have tons of Euros and massive internal financial admin. Secondly, I would guess that VW/Audi and MB own their own financial leasing group that does their leasing of their brand to their customers. The best case!! In that case, MB Financial certainly does give a shit that you had a nice MB lease, were not charged $500 for a fingerprint, and treated with respect, because it wants you to NOW lease another MB. The fact that the auto salesman did the return indicates to me that the leasing arm was a vest pocket company of the manufacturer.

On the other hand, Sorry to say, I would guess that BoA has Lessees by the cojones with no financial incentive to be fair. And it's lack of integrity is public record.
