Approach Your Toyota Lease-End With Confidence
You may be wondering "what happens at the end of my lease?" In the months before your lease comes to an end, you'll receive several communications from us about your options and obligations. During this time, you can choose a path that best fits your needs and lifestyle. Choose from the following options to find out what to expect:
1. Choose a New Toyota
Maplewood Toyota has an excellent selection of New Toyota Vehicles, Certified Toyota Vehicles and quality Used Cars and Trucks from which you can choose. Often times Toyota has special programs for returning TFS customers.
2. Buy Your Current Toyota
If you're ready to make your leased Toyota your very own, there's no need for a wear and use evaluation or extra mileage charges. In other words, you don't have to stop driving your current Toyota - simply follow these steps and get ready to go.
- Determine your payoff amount. Stop by Maplewood Toyota or call 651-482-1322 and one of our finance managers can assist you.
- Estimate your monthly payments. Use our Payment Calculator to estimate what your monthly payments may be if you finance the amount through your Toyota dealer and TFS. Be sure to check out current local New Toyota Specials at before finalizing your purchase.
- Contact Maplewood Toyota. The Lease-End Coordinator at your dealership will review the details of your lease agreement with you and provide any required documentation.
- Choose your purchase method. One option is to arrange financing at Maplewood Toyota through TFS. Be sure to ask about Toyota Extra Care Vehicle Service Agreements for extended protection beyond your vehicle warranty. For an outright purchase of your vehicle, contact us to obtain the necessary information. You may also want to check our KBB Instant Cash Offer where Kelly Blue Book will buy your vehicle.

3. Turn In Your Toyota
Remember to review our Wear and Use Guidelines (below) which will help you understand what to expect should you choose to turn in your vehicle. You can also view the Toyota Lease-End page for more details about what to expect at the end of your lease.
Whether you want to experience more of what you love about your Toyota, or you're set on staying behind the wheel of your existing vehicle, we're here to make the move as easy and convenient as possible.

Normal wear and tear to a vehicle is to be expected. We can all relate to the occasional scratch and scuff. However, mileage in excess of that specified on your lease agreement and damages exceeding normal wear and use may be chargeable to you upon the end of your lease.
