Lease End Process at Porsche Santa Barbara

If you are currently leasing through Porsche Financial Services, you may have questions about what to expect at the end of your lease. This guide provides you with an explanation of lease-end options and the procedures to follow at vehicle turn-in.

• Option 1: Get into a new Porsche
• Option 2: Turn in your current Porsche
• Option 3: Keep your current Porsche

Option 1 - Get into a new Porsche

Step 1 - Contact Porsche Santa Barbara
Visit Porsche Santa Barbara and view our current New or Used inventory. If you're interested in a particular vehicle, call or stop by to take it for a test drive to ensure it's the right Porsche for you.

Step 2 - Evaluate your current Porsche.
All inspections are completed through AutoVin. It is recommended that you schedule an inspection about 30-90 days before your lease end. You can call AutoVin at 1-800-556-2811 or visit autovinlive.com. Any damage to your vehicle that is deemed to be excess wear and use is chargeable. Please have your account number and vin number ready to schedule appointment.

Step 3 - If necessary, repair your current Porsche
If there is any excess wear and use present, you will receive an estimated cost for repair shortly after your vehicle inspection. You will be required to forward your repair receipts to Porsche Financial Services to ensure that your end of lease billing is updated accordingly. Or, if more convenient and /or cost effective, you can choose to return your vehicle as is and pay any outstanding charges via your final bill.*

Step 4 - Return your current lease at the same time you pick up your new lease. Your sales person will coordinate the new car pick up with your current lease turn in to make the process as simple and time effective as possible. If you have already done the inspection, there will be no further inspection of the vehicle. If no inspection has been completed, Porsche Financial Services will schedule Autovin to perform a final inspection after you have returned your vehicle. *
