Five Steps to Take at Your GMC Acadia Lease End
Five Steps to Take at Your GMC Acadia Lease End
We Accept Trade-Ins at Premier GMC!
As your GMC Acadia lease nears the finish line, it's normal to have questions about what comes next—whether you're thinking about moving into something new, buying your Acadia, or simply returning it. The good news? You're not alone in this process. Our friendly team here at Premier GMC is always here to help guide you every step of the way. To make things even easier, we've outlined five key steps below to help you wrap up your lease with confidence and minimal guesswork.
1. Check Your Lease-End Date — How Much Time Do You Have?
One of the first things you'll want to do is review your lease agreement closely to determine the exact date of lease termination. It might sound simple, but it's easy to lose track of time. Knowing how many weeks or months you have left gives you a clear window to plan. This isn't something to leave for the last minute—starting early gives you room to weigh your options, schedule inspections, and avoid any last-minute stress. If you're unsure where to start, our team at Premier GMC can help you pinpoint that date and talk through a realistic timeline.
2. Get a Pre-Inspection
Around 60 to 90 days before your lease is up, it's a smart move to schedule a pre-inspection. This gives you a heads-up on any wear and tear that might be flagged during the official lease return inspection. Think scratches, tire wear, interior stains—stuff that might have slipped your radar. Catching these issues early gives you the opportunity to fix them yourself, rather than being charged for them later. We can help you set up this inspection and even offer guidance on whether it's worth handling certain repairs beforehand.
3. Explore Your Options—Keep It, Swap It, or Return It?
When your lease wraps up, you've got choices—and we're here to walk you through each one. You can return the Acadia and walk away, trade it in for something new, or even buy it outright if you've grown attached (we get it, it's a great SUV). Our finance team at Premier GMC can break down the purchase price, check for special loyalty offers, and help you compare monthly payments if you're eyeing another lease. No pressure, just honest help to figure out what works best for your lifestyle and budget.
4. Schedule Your Lease Return
Returning your leased Acadia isn't quite as simple as handing over the keys and waving goodbye. You'll need to schedule a lease return appointment, where we'll review the vehicle's condition, mileage, and any remaining payments. It's a smooth, straightforward process when you book ahead and come prepared. Please ensure that you remove all personal items, return both key fobs, and bring any accessories that came with the vehicle. If you're unsure what to bring, please give us a call—we'll ensure nothing gets missed.
5. Wrap It Up—But Don't Forget to Ask About What's Next
Once your lease return is complete, it's a great time to think about what you want in your next vehicle. Maybe you're ready to level up to a Yukon, downsize to a Terrain, or stick with another Acadia—either way, we're happy to help you explore what's new and what fits your needs now. Many of our customers take advantage of lease-end specials or loyalty incentives, and we'd love to show you what's available. Just because one lease ends doesn't mean the adventure stops—it just shifts gears.
