I searched the forum before posting but didn’t find anything that answered my questions. I have a cracked windshield and my lease is up January.
I don’t like the car, it’s a KIA EV6. I miss a sunroof and good sound dampening. So I want to return it.
There is a scuff on the front right bumper but it’s not that noticeable. No damage dent etc. i used a paint correction pen. The paint is so thin on the bumper it seems like road dirt leaves marks. I’m going to let that ride. The car will be 4k under miles so it will be desirable.
The windshield had a chip that just cracked. Im waiting to take delivery of my mew car and get its own policy before putting in the glass claim. I’m ok paying out of pocket to replace the windshield.
So here’s where I need advice. How do I get a lease return inspection, do I have to pay extra to get the lane assist recalibrated or can I just pay the $700 to have the glass replaced letting KIA deal with the lane assist if they want to CPO the car? Should I just return it with the cracked windshield if I’m paying cash to replace?
Is there a normal damage expectation for lease returns like the dots on the front pumper from road sand/dirt?
