At lease end, you typically return the car to Castle Kia McHenry-it's inspected for excess wear and mileage overage charges (if any). You then have three main choices: return and walk away, lease another new Kia, or purchase the vehicle at a pre-set residual value. Some drivers love having a fresh car every few years; others fall in love with theirs and buy. The Finance team will review all your options and help you decide what's next. Call (815) 453-8566 as your lease end date approaches to plan your transition smoothly.
