Has anyone here used Ford's Red Carpet Option lease-purchase and returned the car at the end of the term?

Question

I am negotiating a new vehicle and they don't want to do a true closed-end lease. I'm concerned whether they will take the car back at the end of the 36-month term with no questions asked. Has anyone here returned their Ford vehicles at the end of the Red Carpet Option lease-purchase term? Did Ford give you any problems?

Answer 1

I used to work for Half-A-Car which is the parent to Ford's Red Carpet leasing. It is no different than any other lease. Turn it in and as long as there is no ACTUAL wear and tear (they don't nitpick) you'll be OK.
