At lease end, you have three main choices: return the vehicle and walk away, purchase it if you've fallen in love with it, or lease a new one.

When you return the car, Bareford GMC inspects it for excess wear and tear. Normal use is expected; major damage results in charges. If you want to keep it, our Finance team can arrange a purchase agreement. Or, start fresh with a new lease on another GMC-many people love cycling into the latest model every few years.

Let's talk through your options! Call **(804) 445-2810** to plan what makes sense for you when your lease approaches the end.
