Has anyone had any bad experiences returning leased vehicles back to Nissan? I have read a few horror stories and I want to know if this is the norm as I have a 02 Pathfinder due to be returned soon?

Mainly bogus wear and tear charges months after the car was returned...

You have to get the pre-turn-in inspection.. The last thing you want to do is just turn it in at the dealer.
 
I haven't leased through NMAC, but I've never had an extra charge that wasn't noted on that inspection.. I've leased through private banks and AHFC quite a few times, and the inspectors have always been very fair..
 
One time, I was over mileage, and they took the odometer reading from the inspection, which was three weeks before I turned it in.. Saving me about $150.
 
If you just drop it off, anything can end up on that final paperwork, then you have no proof.
 
regards,

ACTUALLY, the tool used to test the refinishing quality (or presence) of vehicles is a Paint Spectrometer. Much like the technology that is used at Home Depot to match paint colors.
 
The brand of the refinishing gauge used most often in the US is indeed the Elcometer (311), but that is just a brand and I didn't feel the need to express my knowledge of the manufacturer of the tool at the expense of someone reading it and thinking "What's an Elcometer?" (Or "Elco")
 
Most people who are secure with their knowledge of a subject don't feel the need to express that knowledge, or the [perceived] lack of knowledge in others, at every given moment.

Well, it's sad that you think everyone who has had experience in the business must be "Qualified" by you. It's also unfortunate that you think "talking" in ways that make you seem smarter than everyone, at the expense of letting the layman understand, is the only way you can prove your knowledge.
 
I try to speak so that the average person knows what I'm saying and can understand. I come here to get knowledge and to give what knowledge I have. I don't post here in order to "prove" my experience, especially to someone like you. Why you think that someone who had parents who owned dealerships and worked as the Office/Business Manager for several of those should "talk" like a salesman, is beyond me. I'm straight-forward and I try to not confuse people. I guess that is what is confusing you.

Enough. Please exchange e-mail addresses if you wish to continue this line of discussion. Believe me, NO ONE else wants to read it.
