Lease End/Repairs?

Hi all,

My Wife’s CX-5 is at lease end in early March, and we’ve decided to try and get a slightly bigger vehicle to accommodate a child car seat, etc. I’m trying to gauge if it’s a good idea for us to go to a repair shop to get some touch-up paint applied to the areas with scratches AND the parking attendant at her work garage backed the vehicle into a concrete pillar and now there is a significant crease in the rear bumper. (She didn’t notice it for a while, so we missed our chance to assign blame and ask for reimbursement.)

Is it worth the trouble and cost to try and address these issues, or let the 3rd party assess it “as is”?

    Get the pre-turn in inspection done first, early February. Then, you'll have solid info on what to do.
