What Is a Lincoln Lease-End Inspection?

A Lincoln lease-end inspection reviews the condition of your vehicle before it's returned. LAFS arranges this through Manheim Mobile Inspections, also known as Alliance Inspection Management (AiM). Appointments can typically take place at your home, your workplace, or a local Lincoln retailer.

Plan to schedule your complimentary inspection somewhere in the last 45 to 60 days before your lease ends. Appointments can typically be self-scheduled online or by phone.

Understanding Wear and Use Guidelines

Some wear is expected on a leased vehicle. Lincoln's Wear and Use guidelines outline what's considered normal versus chargeable. As a general guide, more than three scratches or dents longer than 4 inches per panel, more than 15 paint chips per panel, or tire tread under 1/8 inch fall under excess wear and use, along with things like sidewall damage and interior stains larger than a half inch. Reviewing your guidelines ahead of time can help you know what to expect at inspection.

After Your Inspection: Repairs and Your Final Statement

If your inspection turns up items you'd rather handle yourself, our Collision Center and factory-trained technicians can take care of it using genuine Lincoln parts, and it's worth keeping your repair receipts on hand for your return appointment. Once your lease is complete, LAFS mails or posts a final statement to your Account Manager reflecting any mileage or wear and use charges. If you didn't renew into a new Lincoln or Ford through LAFS, this statement may also include a disposition fee, if one is disclosed on your Lease Agreement.

How to Prepare for Your Lincoln Lease Turn-In

Before your lease-end inspection, it helps to walk around your Lincoln and check for anything that may need attention.

  • Exterior dents, scratches, or paint damage
  • Windshield chips or cracked glass
  • Tire tread depth and overall tire condition
  • Wheel scratches or gouges
  • Interior stains, tears, or burn marks
  • Mileage compared to your Lease Agreement, which can result in an excess mileage fee if you're over your allotted miles
  • Missing keys, fobs, manuals, mats, or accessories
  • A master reset of your SYNC®/Navigation system
  • The Lincoln Mobile Power Cord, if you're returning a Corsair Grand Touring plug-in hybrid

Quick Answer: Bring all keys and fobs, your Owner's Manual, original floor mats, and any required lease-return documents to your Lincoln lease return appointment. If you're returning a Corsair Grand Touring plug-in hybrid, bring the Lincoln Mobile Power Cord as well.

Your Lincoln Lease-End Options

1

Return Your Lease

Ready to turn in your current Lincoln? Contact our team to schedule your appointment. Need more time instead? Ask our finance team about lease extension eligibility before you commit to a return date.

2

Get a New Lincoln

Move into a new Lincoln. Browse current inventory and current specials. Ask about current disposition fee and wear and use waivers when you renew through LAFS.

Can I Return My Lincoln Lease at Lincoln of Coconut Creek?

In many cases, yes, even if you originally leased elsewhere. LAFS defaults to your originating retailer, but if that's no longer convenient, other participating Lincoln retailers, including Lincoln of Coconut Creek, may be able to accept your return. Contact our team ahead of time to confirm and schedule an appointment. If you'd rather sell your current Lincoln outright, our KBB Instant Cash Offer tool can give you an estimate before you visit.

Lincoln of Coconut Creek is a convenient stop for lease customers throughout Coconut Creek and the surrounding South Florida communities.

Why Start the Lease Return Process Early?

Starting early gives you more time to prepare, ask questions, and review your options. Getting ahead of your lease-end date means more time to understand your timeline, review your vehicle's condition, and explore new Lincoln lease or purchase options before you're up against a deadline.

Quick Answer: If you decide to renew into a new Lincoln, ask about the Lincoln Buyer's Advantage program at Lincoln of Coconut Creek, which adds extended warranty and complimentary maintenance benefits worth reviewing before your appointment.

Lincoln Lease Return FAQs

Does Lincoln of Coconut Creek have its own body shop for inspection repairs? +
Yes. Our on-site Collision Center handles paint and body work, so if your lease-end inspection flags a dent, scratch, or panel damage, you don't need a separate shop or a separate appointment.
Is the Lincoln Corsair still available if I want to lease again? +
Ask our team for current availability. Lincoln of Coconut Creek carries Corsair inventory, but supply changes as vehicles sell, so it's worth checking what's actually on the lot before you count on a specific model for your next lease.
What do I need to sign when I turn in my Lincoln? +
Federal law requires an Odometer Disclosure Statement as part of your lease-end paperwork, whether you're returning, purchasing, or trading into a new Lincoln. Our finance team can walk you through this along with anything else specific to your Lease Agreement.
Can excess wear and use charges be waived when I return my Lincoln? +
If your lease included WearCare, an optional LAFS protection product, it can waive excess wear and use charges up to $10,000 in most cases. Check your Lease Agreement or WearCare Addendum, or ask our finance team, to see if your lease has this coverage.
Do I need to do anything with my license plate when I return my Lincoln lease in Florida? +
Possibly. Florida generally requires drivers to surrender their license plate once the insurance on a vehicle is canceled, which can happen once a leased vehicle is returned. Confirm your specific situation with the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles or your county tax collector's office before your return appointment.
Do I get my security deposit back when I return my Lincoln? +
Many current Lincoln leases don't require a security deposit at signing, but not all do. Check your Lease Agreement or Account Manager for your specific terms, and ask our finance team if you have questions about how any deposit on your account applies at return.
When will I get my final statement after I return my Lincoln? +
LAFS doesn't publish a fixed timeframe, so this can vary. Your final statement becomes available through your Account Manager once your return and odometer disclosure are processed. Contact LAFS Customer Support if you haven't seen it within a few weeks.
Why do I see two different company names, AiM and Manheim, for my Lincoln inspection? +
Alliance Inspection Management (AiM) and Manheim Mobile Inspections are the same company. Cox Automotive, which already held a stake in AiM, acquired full ownership in 2025 and has been integrating it under the Manheim brand, so you may see either name depending on where you look.
Should I trade in my Lincoln instead of returning it at lease-end? +
It depends on your vehicle's condition and mileage relative to your Lease Agreement. If your Lincoln is worth more than your lease-end payoff, trading it in may let you apply that value toward your next vehicle instead of simply returning it. Our KBB Instant Cash Offer tool can give you an estimate to compare against your other options.
What if I'm not sure whether to return, buy, or lease a new Lincoln? +
That's a normal spot to be in. Our finance team can walk through your current mileage, vehicle condition, and what's currently available on our lot so you can compare your options side by side before deciding.
